Z-scores have an average of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. A
z-score indicates how many standard deviations an element is
from the mean. We use hypothesis testing to determine whether to
reject a null hypothesis. There are two types of hypothesis
tests: null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis.

My top ten list wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. There
are a lot of athletic and talented wide receivers that could
make it but there's just too many to choose from. The only thing
for sure is that Jerry Rice is an easy number one without
debate.

For this week of fantasy football we are playing team Jimenez.
Based on the projections, our team is projected to win by .70
points. It is going to be very close and I think it is going to
come down to which players perform higher than their
projections. We also decided to bench Dalvin Cook because he
hasn't been scoring as much as he did in the very beginning.

Mathletics (p. 87-101) mainly talked about if the hot hand or a
winning streak exists. I believe it exits but I don't think
there is a way you can prove it statistically because of random
chance. It also talked about how we use Z score to see if the
streak and hot hand exits. The z scores have an average of 0
and a standard deviation of 1. Computing a z score is often
called standardizing an observation and based of the z score we
accept the null hypothesis or fail to reject the alternative
because we usually don't have enough evidence to conclude it is
true.

One think I like about baseball is that it is the one sport that
doesn't have set dimensions for their playing area. I like the
fact that there are hitter's parks like Yankee Stadium and
pitcher's parks like AT&T Park. I think it makes the game more
interesting.

However I do think that the MLB should take into account a
player's home field into their stats. This makes it fair for the
top hitters who don't get as much recognition because they play
in a pitcher's ball park. For example if a player hits a homerun
in Yankee stadium he should get credit .75 of a homerun and if a
player gets a homerun in AT&T Park he should get credit for 1.25
of homerun.

I was so happy with Sony Michel's performance yesterday. last
week both my running backs got 7.5 points and this week Michel
more than doubles both my running backs last week. The only that
annoyed me about fantasy yesterday was that Michel scored but
the refs said he was down on the 1. Bellicheck decided not to
challenge and then Brady just vultured Michel's TD with a QB
sneak.

Last night Sony Michel had a pretty good game and gave the
Manteca Kneecap Killaz a shot in the arm with his productionat
the running back position. He already more than doubled our
total running back points from last week. With McCaffrey back
off the bye week I'm feeling confident about this week

I finished my case study and feel very good about how the
information is presented. There are several examples, anecdotal
evidence, and a video proving my points.

After examining our opponent this week I feel pretty confident
in our team. Our only real weakness recently has been our
running backs, and we have CMC back and Michel put in a solid
performance. I think Michael Thomas will bounce back against a
lackluster Atlanta defense and go for a big game.
