Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The HHI is calculated by squaring the number of titles won by each team and then dividing the sum of the squares by the total number of teams. In the Patriot League, American has won 5 titles, Colgate has won 3 titles, Bucknell has won 2 titles, and Lehigh and Army have each won 1 title. So, the HHI is (5^2 + 3^2 + 2^2 + 1^2 + 1^2) / 5 = 33 / 5 = 6.6. In the NBA, the L.A. Lakers, San Antonio Spurs, and Chicago Bulls have each won 3 titles, the Houston Rockets, Detroit Pistons, and Miami Heat have each won 1 title. So, the HHI is (3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2) / 6 = 36 / 6 = 6.0. Therefore, the HHI for championships in Patriot League Volleyball and the NBA are 6.6 and 6.0, respectively.
