The salaries (in millions of dollars) of football players on the Eagles and Steelers teams are described by the relative frequency histograms in Fig. 93.

a. Estimate the proportion of the Steelers who earn less than $1 million. Estimate the proportion of the Eagles who earn less than $1 million.
b. Estimate the proportion of the Steelers who earn at least $1million. Estimate the proportion of the Eagles who earn at least $1million.
c. A student says the Steelers€™ distribution is more heavily skewed to the right than the Eagles€™ distribution because the top-paid player of the Steelers is paid more than the top-paid player of the Eagles. What would you tell the student?
d. Make an educated guess which team tends to pay its players more. Explain why it€™s not possible to know for sure on the basis of just the histograms.
e. The Steelers have 10 more players on their payroll than the Eagles. Explain why it is better to compare relative frequency histograms rather than frequency histograms in order to respond to part (d).
