2-Variable Statistics

Problem
Do you think WNBA playing time (in minutes per game) is related to how many
points a player scores? Do you think it is related to how many rebounds they get?
Or is it related to their field goal percentage?
Procedure

data. Begin by entering the points per game as the X variable and the minutes per
game as the Y variable.
