    drives. I then divided that number by the team 's total yards. Once this percentage was paired with each team 's record it seemed evident that they were related.

    Path analysis represents an attempt to estimate and describe causal relationships through the employ of correlated data. Comparatively, results from experimental studies are preferred to causal inferences. Confidence in results drawn from an experimental normally exists higher on the totem pole in statistics. There exists no empirical test that can tell the extent to which a selected model exists as the correct model. In order to evaluate these five assumptions, Tate (1992) suggests that…
