Answer 1

Using proportions, it is found that about 25 more goals will be scored in the Junior League than in the Senior League in a month.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

In this problem, we have that the mean amount of goals per game for the Junior League is of 3, while for the Senior League is of 2.5, hence there is a difference of 0.5 goals per game. Over 50 games, the expected difference is given by:

D = 0.5 x 50 = 25.
