3. In 1961 New York Yankee outfielder Roger Maris held the major league record for home

home run totals for his 10 years in the American League.
13, 23, 26, 16, 33, 61, 28, 39, 14, 8
a. Find the mean number of home runs that Maris hit in a year, both with and without his record
61. How does removing the record number of home runs affect his mean number of runs?
b. Find the median number of home runs that Maris hit in a year, both with and without his record 61.
How does removing the record number of home runs affect his median number of runs?
c. If you had to choose between the mean and median to describe Maris's home run hitting
pattern, which would you use?
