We are going to do some statistical research and see what kind of hitters you
have on your team. First, we will look at the players on your team that have the
most hits. These players get up a lot and hit a lot. The first thing you will do is
make a display of the number of hits (H) all of the players in your data set have.
You should make a stem and leaf plot for the number of hits the players in your data set
have. Use the same players from your (AB) data set. List your hits (H) data set.
