Abstract: By using mean and range, I determined which surface was best for bouncing a basketball for my at-home practicing. Luckily I have concrete, pavement, and tile to practice on as these were the best because they were all flat, solid, and hard surfaces.
The incorporation of the height range into the determination of the best floor brings your data to another level.
Very fun project and cool results! I hope this helped you practice dribbling and that you continue doing experiments in the future! Nice work, and beautiful plots and tables that you made too! I like how you considered the height but also the consistency of the bounce height for each material.
Great math skills! Good work!
