Two Teammates on a Soccer Team, Lindsay and Reyha, Had

question 13

Multiple Choice

Two teammates on a soccer team, Lindsay and Reyha, had similar shooting averages that were better than the league average. In the semi-final championship game, Lindsay had scored especially well. At the beginning of the final game, Lindsay was again shooting very well, and the coach told the team to pass to Lindsay as much as possible because she was "hot"; however, in the last half of the game, Lindsay's shooting fell below her average, while Reyha's shooting rose above her average. The problem with the coach's advice was that the coach did not realize that:

• A) Lindsay was much more likely to score than Reyha because Lindsay was having a good shooting streak that should not have been interrupted.
• B) Lindsay was obviously more motivated to perform well in the tournament (she "wanted it more").
• C) the girls' scores were regressing to their means, both girls' ended up with similar shooting averages and similar chances of scoring.
• D) a person can not predict a player's shooting from the shooting average of the player.
