    The document analyzes the relationship between shots and goals for 25 players on the 2013-2014 Pittsburgh Penguins team. It finds a strong positive correlation between shots and goals, with the regression line showing that for every 10 shots, a player scores about 1 goal. This relationship is accurate in predicting goals from shots 88.7% of the time, though some outliers and variables like goalie skill affect the relationship. The analysis concludes that the hypothesis of 1 goal per 10 shots is somewhat correct given this predictive accuracy.

    Shots VS.

    Goals
    Keaton Beckes

    Introduction

    My project deals with the amount of shots


    25 certain Pittsburgh Penguins players took
    in the 2013 2014 regular season, versus
    how many goals those players made in the
    2013 2014 regular season. I hypothesized
    that for every 10 shots a player took they
    would make 1 goal. I used an observational
    method to gather data for this project.

    Data Set
    The Population of my data is all of the
    players of the NHL.
    The sample is 25 players from the
    Pittsburgh Penguins.
    The Individuals are certain players from the
    Pittsburgh Pennguins.
    The variables are Shots and Goals

    Analysis of r and r2
    The value of r is 0.942.
    The value of r2 is 0.887.
    The r value describes the correlation,
    Therefore, my equation has a strong
    positive correlation.
    The r2 value describes how accurate the
    equation is. Therefore, my equation is
    accurate, 88.7% of the time.

    Prediction
    I predicted that for every 10 times a player
    takes a shot they will make a goal.
    My prediction was true 88.7% of the time.

    Conclusion

    I concluded that my prediction that a player


    would make 1 goal for every 10 shots they
    took was somewhat correct because it is
    accurate 88.7 percent of the time, but it is
    swayed slightly by outliers and lurking
    variables such as the skill of the goalie they
    are taking the shot against.
