This document provides a math team with 20 questions to analyze two sets of data on the time it takes to pass a ball between students. The questions involve entering the data into a calculator, finding the best fit equation, determining if there is a strong correlation, defining the domain and range, identifying if the data is discrete or continuous, explaining the meaning of the slope and intercept, and making predictions about passing times and student numbers.

1. Use your calculator to enter the average data to Pass the Ball Data #1. 2. Use your calculator to find the best fit equation for your data. 3. Does the data form a strong correlation? Why or Why not? 4. Define the Domain for the situation and the equation. 5. Define the Range for the situation and the equation. 6. How does the domain and range of the situation and the equation compare? 7. Is our data discrete or continuous? Does the scenario represent a discrete or continuous situation? 8. Explain the meaning of the slope and/or the y-intercept in the graph. 9. Predict how long it would take to pass the ball in 2 classes of 60 total students. 10.Predict how many students are needed to keep the ball going for 1 full minute.
