You are hired as a scout for a professional basketball team, and the team is interested in recruiting someone to play power forward. We have narrowed our choices to two players, Jaxson Hayes (Freshman, 6’11” and 220 lbs) from Texas and Brandon Clarke (Junior, 6’8” and 215 lbs) from Gonzaga. During the last season, Hayes made 123 field goal shots out of 169 attempts, and Clarke made 257 out of 374 attempts. At a significance level of 0.05, conduct the appropriate hypothesis to determine if there is a significant difference in field goal percentage between the two players. Who would you recommend to recruit for your team?
