You and your friend are engaging in a classic sports argument: how do famous athletes from different sports compare to one another? To explore this, we're going to answer the following question: in the 2023-2024 season, did Messi commit more fouls in soccer than Travis Kelce (Tight End for Kansas City) did in football? Because we're comparing to totally different sports with different statistics, in order to answer this question, we need to look at standardized scores (z-scores). In the 2023-2024 season, Travis Kelce had a total of 2 fouls (for holding and unsportsmanlike conduct). The average number of fouls for all the players in the NFL that season was 2.62 with a standard deviation of 2.19. Using this information tell me, who had more fouls, relative to others in their own sport? Your answer include the following information: The z scores for Kelce and Messi. A comparison of the two z scores and an explanation of your conclusion, based on those z-scores. What is your final conclusion: who has more fouls, relative to others in their respective sports? Why? Is this a fair comparison? Why or why not?
