Critical Thinking: Did the NFL Rule Change Have the Desired Effect? Among 460 overtime National Football League (NFL) games between 1974 and 2011, 252 of the teams that won the overtime coin toss went to win the game. During those years, a team could win the coin tossed and march down the field to win the game with a field goal, and the other team would never get possession of the ball. That just didn't seem fair. Starting in 2012, the overtime rules were changed. In the first three years with the new overtime rules, 47 games were decided in overtime and the teams that won the coin toss won 24 of those games.
Analyzing the Results
1. First explore the two proportions of overtime wins. Does there appear to be a difference? If so, how?
2. Create a claim to be tested, then tet it. Use a hypothesis test as well as a confidence interval.
This is an additional instruction to the instruction given in the textbook for this assignment, specifically for question #2. When conducting a hypothesis test, you must clearly show/state the following components:
Statements of H1 and H0
A graph showing the appropriate distribution, the test statistics, and either the P-value or the critical value(s) and critical region
A statement either reject H0 or fail to reject H0
Correct summary of the conclusion

3. What do you conclude about the effectiveness of the overtime rule change?
