i need help with my statistics final

Question

i need to know what type of test to use for the following questions

1) Does Mark’s yards relate to the temperature during the start of the game?

2) Does Mark’s year in college impact the amount of rushing yards per game?

the types of statistical tests i have to choose from are: One Sample t Test, Two Independent Samples t Test, Two Related Samples t Test, One Way ANOVA, Two Way ANOVA, Pearson Correlation,

I am given the data in an excel sheet. I need to get this right in order to keep my A and im not entirely sure which to use. Any help is much appreciated. Thank You!

Answer 1

Late to the party, but maybe it can help someone.

1. Pearson correlation: rushing yards and temperature are continuous variables
2. One way ANOVA: rushing yards per game is continuous and year in college is categorical with > 2 groups

Answer 2

I would use Pearson correlation, although a Chi Square test of independence (which you didn't list) would probably be best for 2.
