Shoot to score, shootout The coach from Exercise 2 called a team meeting to summarize the results from his study. Would it be a good strategy to tell the players that all they need to do is to shoot more and the goals will follow?
The Ugly Pucklings, a hockey team of mathematicians who met back in graduate school, are attempting to uncover the culprit behind their ongoing, season-long losing streak. Their coach claims that the players are "too smart" to score goals, i.e. their intellect causes them to overthink shooting the puck and thus they hit the goalie's pads directly or miss the net altogether. To refute the coach's claim, the team's goalie randomly samples 100 players from other teams in their league and classifies them according to their education level and number of goals scored this season. (a) State the goalie's null and alternative hypotheses. (b) Calculate the expected frequency for each combination of Education and Goals Scored. (c) Are the members of the Ugly Pucklings "too smart" to score goals, based on the data collected by the goalie, at a 95% confidence level?

A basketball team is down by 2 points with only a few seconds remaining in the game. There is a 50% chance that the team will be able to make a 2 point shot and tie the game, compared to a 40% chance that it will make a 3 point shot and win. In overtime, the team has a 50% chance of winning. What should the coach do, go for the 2 point shot or the 3 point shot? Be sure to identify any assumptions.
