A better question may be "Is there a relationship between height and free throw statistics?" You could then use height as the dependent variable. Your three categories can be the independent variable 1. sum of free throws attempted, 2. sum of free throws made, 3. average free throw percentage as three different independent variables. This will determine if there is a relationship between various free throw stats and height.

You will want to run an individual regression model on each independent variable and then one combined multiple regression model.

THIS IS A GROUP PROJECT AND YOUR'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR GIBBONS PART OF THE PROJECT. THIS IS A VERY BIG PART OF MY GRADE AND I HAVE NO ROOM FOR ERROR.

Please refer to this link as a general guideline for written summary examples.

Williams- gather all data for each height range category, and position category using the data source- write one page paper on findings- make sure your data answers the questions on the data portion of the grading rubix found in the email. Data Source: http://stats.nba.com/
Gibbons- Position vs. Free Throw Shooting Percentage; use the data to run an individual regression model on independent variable and then one combined multiple regression model- write two page paper on findings.

Grant- use the data to run an individual regression model on independent variable and then one combined multiple regression model- write two page paper on findings.

Rios- Use the data to find the mean, standard deviation, etc (use data description found in grading rubix)-write two page paper on findings
DeNovo- Introduction, Take-aways, incorporate Saint Leo Core Values-5 pages

Please remember that we must evaluate each group member and turn in the forms with our final project. The forms are in the email with the subject: group evaluation.

Williams-your assignment is our immediate predeccessor so no one can get started until you gather the data. When need your data by close of business, Thurday. All other assignments should be in by close of business, Sunday. I will get started as well but I need all assignments to start on the takeaways. Turn everything in to the disscussion board, Thursday for Williams, and Sunday night for everyone else. We will reconvene on Monday so that everyone can edit each other's work and we can decide whether or not we should turn in a presentation or a written assignment. Time to work!!!!! Good luck everyone.

Please, in 200 words or more integrate the Saint Leo core value of excellence into your take aways from the project, either as it pertains to the group or in terms of the data.
