  3. Statistical Study The 4 steps to a statistical study 1. Hypothesis 2. Collect Data 3. Analyze Data 3. Analyze Data 4. Conclusion Today we will work with categorical data. We will then displaying data. Therefore, displaying data is the first part of which step of a statistical study?

  4. LeBron James Did LeBron James choke in the 2008 playoffs? To find out if LeBron James choked, let’s compare his regular season with the playoff game. LeBron James took 359 three-point shots during the entire 2007-2008 season and 70 three-point shots in the 2008 playoff game. Since the attempted shots are different, we’ll use percentage to compare the two.
