Today, general math students started a project on data analysis! They are currently collecting data of 50 dart throws and measuring a variety of data points like closeness to center, throw power, point totals, and accuracy of aim. Once they are done with their collection they will take their data and see what correlations can be made and identify the "better" dart thrower!
