Do basketball players have lower ABILITY to make free-throws when shooting granny-style (underhanded)? Suppose that you go to a basketball court and take 30 free-throws in random order – 15 shots underhanded and 15 shots in the traditional style – and record the number of shots made in each context.  

Why is it important to randomize in this experiment?

What is

So that neither treatment has an advantage over the other

Do basketball players have greater ABILITY to make free-throws when shooting traditional or granny-style ? Suppose that you go to a basketball court and take 30 free-throws in random order – 15 shots underhanded and 15 shots in the traditional style – and record the number of shots made in each context.  

Why is it important to control and what can we control?

What is

If there are no other variables present, than you could conclude that traditional is better than granny style.


We can control that we all shoot with the same ball, under the same weather conditions, the same uniform, the same hoop...

If my test statistic is .25

Assume 100 simulations

What is my conclusion?

Since my p-value is 2% we reject Ho.

Repeat Ha statement... The team has a GREATER ABILITY to win at home than away.
