In a bass-fishing tournament, the mean total weight of fish caught by each of the top 25 finishers was 41.5 pounds with a standard deviation of 3.1 pounds. In the previous bass-fishing tournament, the mean total weight of fish caught by each of the top 25 finishers was 37.75 pounds with a standard deviation of 6.2 pounds. For both tournaments, the distributions are symmetric and bell-shaped. Compare the measures of center and variability of the two data sets.

In a bass-fishing tournament, the mean total weight of fish caught by each of the top 25 finishers was 41.5 pounds with a standard deviation of 3.1 pounds. In the previous bass-fishing tournament, the mean total weight of fish caught by each of the top 25 finishers was 37.75 pounds with a standard deviation of 6.2 pounds. For both tournaments, the distributions are symmetric and bell-shaped. Diego concludes that the first-place finisher in the latest bass-fishing tournament must have caught fish with a total weight greater than the first-place finisher of the previous bass-fishing tournament because the mean plus the standard deviation from the latest tournament is greater than the mean plus the standard deviation of the second tournament. Do you agree with Diego? Explain your reasoning.
