Practice (15–20 minutes): World Series Math

Use the data table to answer each question.

  • Show your calculations on paper or a separate workspace.

  • Round only when the question tells you to.

  • Stretch questions are optional if you finish early.

World Series Math (Grade 6) — Ratios, Rates, Percent, & Data

You do not need to know baseball. We’ll use three simple stats from 4 past World Series games:

  • R = runs (points scored)

  • H = hits

  • E = errors

Mixed Dataset (real World Series game lines)

Spørgsmål 1
1.

Find the mean (average) number of runs per team across all 6 team rows. (Use $\text{mean}=\frac{\text{sum}}{6}$.)

Spørgsmål 2
2.

Find the median number of runs across the 6 team rows.

Spørgsmål 3
3.

Which graph type is MOST appropriate to compare the number of runs (R) scored by each team (all 6 team rows)?

Spørgsmål 4
4.

Find the mode of the runs (R) across the 6 team rows.

Spørgsmål 5
5.

Compute the unit rate hits per run for the 2019 Houston Astros: $\frac{H}{R}$. (Use the dataset.)

Spørgsmål 6
6.

Which team had the highest hits-per-run unit rate $\frac{H}{R}$?

Spørgsmål 7
7.

In 2016 Game 7, what percent of the total runs in that game were scored by the Chicago Cubs? (Cubs $=8$, Indians $=7$.) Write your answer as a percent.

Spørgsmål 8
8.

Across all teams, how many total hits (H) are in the dataset?

Spørgsmål 9
9.

Stretch: The Astros had $9$ hits and $2$ runs. The Nationals had $9$ hits and $6$ runs. Compare their efficiency using runs per hit $\frac{R}{H}$. How much larger is the Nationals’ $\frac{R}{H}$ than the Astros’ $\frac{R}{H}$?

World Series Mini Data Set (6th grade practice)

In baseball box scores, you often see R–H–E:

  • R = runs (points)

  • H = hits (times the team got a base hit)

  • E = errors (mistakes on defense)

Use the real World Series game lines below to answer the questions.

You do not need to know baseball—treat this like any other sports stats table.

Spørgsmål 10
10.

Which data display would be BEST for comparing the number of runs (R) scored by each team in the dataset?

Spørgsmål 11
11.

List the runs (R) for all 8 teams (all rows). Then find the mean (average) number of runs per team.

Spørgsmål 12
12.

Find the median number of runs (R) for the 8 teams in the table.

Spørgsmål 13
13.

What is the mode of the runs (R) values? If there is no mode, write: no mode.

Spørgsmål 14
14.

In Game 7 (2016), the Cubs scored $8$ runs and the Indians scored $7$ runs. What percent of the TOTAL runs in that game were scored by the Cubs? Round to the nearest whole percent.

Spørgsmål 15
15.

Compute the unit rate hits per run for the Nationals in Game 7 (2019). Use $\frac{\text{hits}}{\text{runs}}$ and give a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Spørgsmål 16
16.

Compute the unit rate hits per run for the Astros in Game 7 (2019). Round to the nearest hundredth.

Spørgsmål 17
17.

In Game 6 (2020), the Rays had $6$ hits and $1$ run. In the same game, the Dodgers had $6$ hits and $3$ runs. Which team had the HIGHER hits-per-run unit rate?

Spørgsmål 18
18.

Across the 4 games listed, find the mean total runs per game. (Add both teams’ runs for each game, then average the 4 totals.)

Spørgsmål 19
19.

Stretch: Compare the total hits in Game 7 (2016) to the total hits in Game 7 (2019). What is the percent change from 2019 to 2016? Round to the nearest whole percent.
