Stats Question

[alexjohnson16]

Okay, I have to do a stats project on success/failure of the home team winning in a random college football game (I've compiled a random sample, etc.).

I'm supposed to be showing a comparison of success/failure that is greater, lesser, or even to .5.

Can I show these type of things in Hypothesis Testing, Binomial Distribution, etc.?

If so, do I just count a success as a 1 and a failure as a 0 and that will give me my data?

I know how to do all of these things, it's just that I've picked a really bad topic (we barely did any success/failure things this semester) for the project and its too late to change.

I never took statistical anaysis, but I like to study data and analyize it using excel.

Im wondering, are you supposed to come up with an average or determine how many games have to be played to reach certain numbers?

I'm supposed to prove if a random team has a homefield advantage, so for this, I just plan to count a win by the home team as a success and a loss by the home team as a failure, then test 1-Var Stats to get the mean, SD., etc.

I'm just curious how I show some of this stuff in graphs (as required by project) and other types of statistical tests. I think I have the hypothesis testing figured out (H0 >.5 and so on) but I'm wondering if there are any other types of tests that I can do.

Hopefully this isnt due this morning. Maybe someone can help you later on today.

Youre piquing my interest in stats. Maybe Ill check out or buy a book and teach myself.

Good luck.

I've had some great help here before so I tried again, hopefully someone will give me a little advice.
