Two Miami Heat basketball fans are arguing about whether taller players are more skilled in basketball or whether
shorter players have an advantage. One friend thinks that taller players are actually better and that they’re more likely
to make 3 pointers. They decide to look at a correlation to test this out. They look specifically at the correlation
between player’s height (in inches) and the percentage of 3pointers (calculated by the number of 3 point shots made
divided by the number of shots attempted–with a higher score indicating more 3 point shots made).
