Hypothesis: We believe that some of the Eagles’ stats will be linear and have a positive correlation (meaning that the best-fitting line should be increasing, or the variable r should be as close to 1 as possible and go through as many points as possible). Why? Because many of the statistics have a direct variation with each other. Data from
First Downs(x) Yards(y) r = indicates that the linear correlation is positive and very strong.
Week (x)Points Scored (y) r = indicates that the linear correlation is positive but very weak.
Points (x)First Downs (y) r = indicates that the linear correlation is positive and fairly strong.
In conclusion, the data supports our hypothesis, which was that the stats of the Eagles will be linear and positive. However, the correlation varies very much.
