HYPOTHESIS TESTING

RYAN MAZIARZ AND JOEY SCHMITZER

 WHY?

WE ARE SCOUTS FOR THE NFL, AND WE RAN A HYPOTHESIS

TEST TO DETERMINE WHETHER NFL TEAMS SHOULD DRAFT
MORE 2016 RUNNING BACKS OR 2015 RUNNING BACKS DUE
TO THEIR SPEED.
WE FOUND THE 40-YARD DASH NUMBERS FOR THE 2016 AND
2015 COMBINES FOR RUNNING BACKS ON (SB NATION).
WE CLAIM THAT THE 2016 RUNNING BACKS WOULD HAVE
FASTER TIMES THAN THE 2015 RUNNING BACKS.
DATA VALUES

ALPHA VALUE = .10

DF = 10

 FINAL ANSWER

=4.568181818
=4.628125
=0.1197345549
=0.1459323473
=11
=16
= -1.167899338

 CONCLUSION
OUR CONCLUSION TO THE HYPOTHESIS
TEST WAS THAT THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH
EVIDENCE AT =0.10 TO SUPPORT THE
CLAIM THAT THE 2016 RUNNING BACKS
WERE FASTER IN THE 40-YARD DASH THAN
THE 2015 RUNNING BACKS.
WE ACTUALLY FOUND OUT THAT THE MEAN
SPEED OF THE 2016 RUNNING BACKS WAS T
IN FACT FASTER, ALTHOUGH THE SAMPLE
SIZE WAS TOO SMALL TO FIND ENOUGH
EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT OUR HYPOTHESIS.
