My project is going to be measuring the left handed throw distances versus left hand catches in with a lacrosse ball and stick. I am going perform this experiment by throwing and catching five times from 12 different distances with another partner. My prediction is that it is going to be a negative association. I believe this because the farther away from my partner I am the harder it is going to be for me to catch the ball. I also predict that the correlation is going to be moderately strong.

My results were not completely accurate with my predictions. I claimed there was going to be a negative association. For the most part this was true, however, I only dropped 5 balls total. These balls were the last 4 throws but that was not a very significant negative association. In my predictions I was expecting a greater number of drops to cause a greater negative association. The rest of the experiment went smoothly. The experiment was performed with 5 catches at 12 different distances ranging from 4 inches to 48 inches. Some confounding influences could have been the distances chosen to catch from. Some of the farthest distances chosen to catch from were far but it was still possible to catch from. If I could do this experiment I would have made the distances farther.
