I don't understand how these 2 things
quote:
An NBA player putting up 44.4 points per game (2013 data, scoring title qualifiers only).
An NFL player rushing for 207.0 yards per game (2012-2013 data, min. 100 rushes).
And this
quote:
A baseball player hitting 73 home runs in a season (2013 data, qualified batters)
are the same number of standard deviations from the mean.
It's 6.2 standard deviations from the mean.
If I did my math correct that means the average NBA player scores 7.16 points per game
the average NFL RB rushed for 33.39 yards per game
and the average MLB hitter hits 11.77 home runs in a season
So basically it's as likely as someone setting those records

I don't think you understand that there's a formula for standard deviations you can't just divide these numbers by 6.2 and come up with the mean.
