how many rubber bands I need .What I did first was graph the table on the paper so that I could make a slope triangle to find out my growth and y-intercept to make an equation to see how many rubber bands I need. First I graphed the table onto my paper because I needed to know my starting point and line of best fit. Then I did a slope triangle because I needed to figure my growth which so the slope triangle was 51/11 and I divided it and got 4.6 to

The Probability of On-Base Percentage Affecting Total Team Wins I. Abstract In the baseball world‚ On-Base Percentage is the key element to a team’s advancement to post-season play‚ because offensive domination is essential to the desired outcome‚ namely‚ winning. The following will describe the relationship between On-Base Percentage and the total amount of wins a Major League Baseball team receives using a linear regression model and other descriptive graphs. II. Introduction Essentially

Assignment 1 1. Looking at SCORE variable‚ the skewness is -0.0511422 and excess kurtosis is 0.208336. For the normal distribution‚ skewness is zero. Since the skewness for SCORE variable is negative‚ this indicates that the distribution is skewed to the left (the long tail will be in the negative direction). For the normal distribution‚ kurtosis is three. So K-3 measures excess kurtosis. Since the excess kurtosis for SCORE variable is positive‚ the distribution is leptokurtic (it has thick tails

1. The first step in evaluating a regression model is to determine whether the sign of the estimated slope term makes sense. The second step is to test whether or not the slope term is significantly different from zero. The appropriate statistical test to determine this is a t-test since the true regression error variance is generally unknown. The third check of regression is to evaluate what percent of the variation in the dependent variable is explained by variation in the independent variable
