2. 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 http://www.nfl.comhttp://www.nfl.com

6. 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.
