“The National Basketball Association (NBA) was formed in 1946 with 11 teams. Today, there are 30 NBA teams (29 in the United States and one in Canada) that are divided into the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference. Most of the teams are located in the eastern half of the country, reflecting the population distribution of the United States. New York City is made up of five boroughs: Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Two of the boroughs are home to NBA teams: the Brooklyn Nets and the New York Knicks, who play in Manhattan. The Nets had previously played in New Jersey and were considered a second-tier franchise, but the move to Brooklyn has provided new opportunities. When both teams are struggling to earn wins, they also fight for fans and battle to win the hearts of New Yorkers. Both teams want to increase their attendance records. You have been hired by one of these two teams to research how to increase attendance at home games by 15 percent a year.
1. Choose one of the teams. Write a description of the problem.
2. Use ESPN, Sports Illustrated, the NBA website, the team’s website, or some other sports-related media to research the team you have chosen. Write a description of the situation, including the current attendance. Estimate the time needed to research the goal.
3. Use software to make a bar graph, or draw one by hand, showing the attendance and number of season ticket holders for the past three years.
4. Determine what additional data you need and how you will collect the data, analyze it, and report it. Write at least three paragraphs to describe the data collection, analysis, and reporting process.
5.Write a description to explain how you will know you have solved the problem (met the research objective)”
