Project 1: Data

1. Shoot 100 free throws

a. You may choose another activity (e.g. six foot putts; archery target; goal kicks in soccer; hockey penalty shots, etc.)

b. The activity must have a dichotomous outcome: success or failure.

c. Choose an activity such that your success probability is somewhere between 0.3 and 0.8.

d. Do the 100 attempts in on session. (Rest is allowed.)

e. Try to be successful, but don’t worry. There is no reward for higher success percentages.

f. Don’t make up the numbers. There are statistical tests that identify made-up data.

2. Record the data (1 for a make; 0 for a miss) on the data sheet.

3. Enter the data on a spread sheet.

a. Put your name in A1

b. Enter the data as a series of 1’s and 0’s from B1 to CW1

4. Submit your data to the D2L Project 1 dropbox. You may either submit the spreadsheet or the data sheet, but make sure that you submit the series of makes and misses in order, not just the number of makes and misses.
