Trend Line Equation
Did the Bubble benefit different age groups?
Conclusion: The Bubble didn’t affect benefit older or young players.
Explanation: As you will see in the next three slides, average
performance overall for each age bucket decreased from the regular
season. Despite the hypothesis that young and older players might
benefit from the environment this correlation is not shown through the
data. Furthermore the last graph (age versus change in performance)
depicts a trendline which has a neglible R-square and P-value which are
both not significant. So, the bubble wasn’t advantagious overall for
players on average.
