The document provides instructions for students to record shooting data from a basketball game, calculate shooting percentages and measures of central tendency, and use the data to justify selecting players for their team. Students are asked to track the number of shots made and missed by each player, calculate shooting percentages, find the mean, median, and mode, and circle relevant math terms. They then must write a paragraph justifying their player selections using the collected data and circled terms.
