THE EXPERIMENT (REVISED)

I haven't actually made much of a change but I've been thinking that it'd be hard to find a lot of people who play basketball with a lot of experience. So I'll have two groups, one who are full of people who have REALLY no experience whatsoever in basketball, and one who is for those who have played basketball a little more. The rest is pretty much the same.
And I REALLY REALLY those permission note thingys, Ms Zhang. Please.

AIM: To find whether the absence or presence of a net affects free throw accuracy in basketball.

HYPOTHESIS: The absence of a net decrease free throw accuracy in basketball.

EQUIPMENT: official NBA sized basketball, basketball court, basketball net, 30 people (15 reasonably experienced players, 15 non-experienced players), recording apparatus

METHOD:
1. Set up basketball court on a clear day, with net attached to hoop on the side facing away from the sun.
2. Have each person shoot at the hoop 10 times from the penalty line.
3. Take the net off the hoop.
4. Have each person shoot at the hoop ten times from the penalty line.
5. Record results, with a separate record for each person, with experience level noted.
6. Repeat the steps 1-5 two more times on different days but under the same conditions.
7. Compare and analyse all the results.

This was based on another experiment I found:

And as a spot of extra revision, I found this site:

http://www.ultimate-youth-basketball-guide.com/basketball-question-on-shooting1.html

It stated that "not having a net shouldn't effect the basketball shooting percentage. It changes the way you see the hoop and may make your shoot feel different. You just have to focus on the rim when your shooting and forget that there is not a net on the hoop."

Hopefully next time I come on I can get some results down.
