NBA Correlation Challenge
Read the linked articles
Mr. Lange has the hypothesis that shorter basketball players are better at free throws than taller players.
For your assigned team, go to http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/statistics and find the heights and free throw pct for the 10 players who played the most games for the 2008-2009 season.
Use Excel to create a scatterplot of the data as well as determining the correlation
Use my link as an example
