B. Cougars; they have a larger median value of 22 inches
C. Panthers; they have a larger mean value of about 22 inches
D. Cougars; they have a larger mean value of about 22.6 inches

Answer :

The correct answer is, Cougars; they have a larger median value of 22 inches.

Calculating the median and mean for each data set, we get:

Cougars:

Median = 22 inches

Mean = 22.3 inches

Panthers:

Median = 22.5 inches

Mean = 22.2 inches

Since the median of the Cougars data set is larger than the median of the Panthers data set, we can conclude that the Cougars have the largest overall size hat for their players.

Therefore, the correct answer is, Cougars; they have a larger median value of 22 inches.
