Question 892454: PLEASE HELP ME!!!
A researcher is studying the relationship between the number of players on a soccer team and the number of minutes that a player spends in a game rather than on the sideline. What type of correlation would you expect to find between these two quantities? given that 11 players can play at one time. a maximum of 25 players can be on a roster, and there are 90 minutes in a regulation game, write and equation of a line that may closely for a set of data related to this topic?
THANK YOU!!!!

---
As the number of players goes up the average # of minutes per player goes down.
They are inversely related.
Average # of min = 90/# of players

given that 11 players can play at one time. a maximum of 25 players can be on a roster, and there are 90 minutes in a regulation game, write an equation of a line that may closely for a set of data related to this topic?
Ans:
Average # of mins = 90/11 if only 11 of the players are the focus of the study
OR
Ave # = 90/25 if all 25 players are to be considered in the study
