Question:
Soccer enthusiasts have long debated how to decide tournament games in which the score is a tie but a winner must be determined. If the game is allowed to continue until one team scores a deciding goal, this team may be too tired to play well in the next round; yet other criteria (such as a succession of penalty kicks) seem arbitrary.
Some have argued that a team’s dominance can be measured by the number of corner kicks it is awarded during the game. To test this theory, a student estimated this equation using data from 17 games played by a college men’s soccer team. Write a paragraph summarizing his results.
Y is equal to the number of goals by this team minus the number of goals by the opposing team (average value 0.59), X is equal to the number of corner kicks by this team minus the number of corner kicks by the opposing team (average value = 1.06), and the standard errors are in parentheses.
