Sports Statistics and Analysis

Math on the Field

Sports are full of statistics: averages, percentages, and trends. These numbers help teams improve and fans make predictions.

Making Sense of Stats

Use math to analyze player performance, compare scores, or calculate winning percentages.

PSAT and Beyond

Interpreting sports stats sharpens your data analysis skills—something you’ll use on the PSAT and in many careers.

Examples

  • Finding a player’s shooting percentage after 6 successful shots out of 10: \(6 ÷ 10 = 0.6\), or 60%.

  • Comparing average points per game between two basketball teams.
