Sports+Stats

In this project you will need to:


 * 1) Develop two hypotheses about a sports statistic and rank of the team. For example, the best teams have the lowest number of fouls.
 * 2) Research the data about your statistics. You can find sports stats on Yahoo, nba.com, etc.
 * 3) Make a spreadsheet to enter and analyze your data.
 * 4) Make a scatter plot of the data and add a linear regression for each hypothesis.
 * 5) Conclude as to the validity of your hypotheses

Here's Brian's spreadsheet about NHL goalies. His hypothesis was the teams with the highest save % do the best. He also analyzed teams' +/- rating.



Here are your hypotheses...
