Title: Basketball Stats

Book Description: The primary purpose of this laboratory is to begin to investigate and describe correlations between variables (measured quantities) associated with data. We begin with a few scatter plots that associate certain statistics with players on basketball teams. In the next lab, we will look at variables associated with certain natural processes. In both cases, however, we are interested to discover correlations between variables, and, if we find them, to find ways to describe them.
A "Skill Builder" page is provided to give a little practice drawing and recognizing the graphs of lines.
