Shoot to score, number five What can the hockey coach in Exercise 2 conclude about shooting and scoring goals from the fact that the P-value < 0.0001 for the slope of the regression line? Write a sentence in context.
2. Shoot to score 2016 A college hockey coach collected data from the 2016–2017 National Hockey League season. He hopes to convince his players that the number of shots taken has an effect on the number of goals scored. The coach performed a preliminary analysis, using the scoring statistics from 65 offensive players who had played at least 44 games by the middle of the season. (If you use the data file, note that it includes defensive players as well. Use the variable Offense to select the players in this analysis.) He predicts Goals from number of Shots. Write the regression model and explain what the slope coefficient means in this context.
Response variable is: Goals
R squared = 49.9%
s = 2.983 with 65 – 2 = 63 degrees of freedom
Variable | Coefficient | SE(Coeff) | t-ratio | P-value |
Intercept | 1.13495 | 1.231 | 0.922 | 0.3602 |
Shots | 0.099267 | 0.0125 | 7.93 | <0.0001 |
