Data on these two variables for the top 40 PGA golfers are saved in the accompanying file. A professional golfer is practicing a new swing to increase his average driving distance. However, he is concerned that his driving accuracy will be lower. Is his concern a valid one? Explain.
For Information: Refer to The Sport Journal (Winter 2007) analysis of a new method for ranking the total driving performance of golfers on the PGA tour, Exercise 2.50. Recall that the method uses both the average driving distance (yards) and driving accuracy (percent of drives that land in the fairway).
