Of the 23 First Year Male Students at State U $\quad$

question 34

Essay

Of the 23 first year male students at State U. admitted from Jim Thorpe High School, 8 were offered baseball scholarships and 7 were offered football scholarships. The University admissions committee looked at the students' composite ACT scores (shown in table), wondering if the University was lowering their standards for athletes. Assuming that this group of students is representative of all admitted students, what do you think?

$\quad$$\quad$$\text {Composite ACT Score }$
$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}\hline\text { Baseball }&\text { Non-athletes }& \text {Football }\\\hline 25 & 21 & 22 \\22 & 27 & 21 \\19 & 29 & 24 \\25 & 26 & 27 \\24 & 30 & 19 \\25 & 27 & 23 \\24 & 26 & 17 \\23 & 23 & \\\hline\end{array}$
