a. Use the shape of the distributions to select the appropriate measures of center and variability for the number of hits by players in each of the two leagues. Compare the number of hits by players in the two leagues using these measures. Explain what each value means in your comparison
b.

Elena suggests removing the outliers from each data set because they are so unusual. Is this the right action to take? Explain your reasoning.
