You are coaching a high school basketball team and you realize the importance of free throw shooting, the skill to make foul shots. The question is: how much practice time should be spent in shooting free throws.

Question

You are coaching a high school basketball team and you realize the importance of free throw shooting, the skill to make foul shots. The question is: how much practice time should be spent in shooting free throws. Thus, you divide your team of 21 players into three groups and practice according to the following schedule that produces thee results after one month. The results are the number of free throws made in 50 attempts.

10 minutes per practice session           15 minutes                        20 minutes 

25                                                                               26                                         34

30                                                                               32                                          33

31                                                                               30                                          32

33                                                                               32                                          38

35                                                                               37                                          41

27                                                                               35                                          39

29                                                                               36                                          42

 

a.Set up hypotheses to test if the mean number of free throws made is the same under these practice conditions.

b.Perform the appropriate tests.

c.Fully interpret your results.

d.What recommendations should stem from your results?

e.Are there any assumptions that should be made here.

f.Also discuss how it should have been decided as to which players were assigned to different practice conditions.
