In this lesson students compare NFL QB rating of quarterbacks with and without facial hair. This task can be used to explore a number of math ideas such as sampling, causation versus correlation, misleading data, measures of central tendency, variability and data visualization. Questions to consider:
- Is this enough data to definitively say that facial hair improves quarterback performance?
- How might we collect a stronger set of data?
- Does facial hair cause improved quarterback performance or is it a correlation?
- How can we collect data to show that facial hair reduces quarterback performance?
- Which measure of central tendency best represents the data?
- What type of graph or plot can be used to display the data?
