The Correlation Game

Instructions

Overview: Teams compete to guess correlations from displayed graphs.

The Game Board: The game board displays 3 tiles in each of 4 different categories: health, car, NFL, and Miscellaneous. One tile in each category is worth 6 points, one is worth 12, and one is worth 18. The point values are displayed on the tiles. When a tile is selected, the applet displays a plot showing data relevant to associated category.

To Play: A team is chosen to go first. The team selects any tile from the game panel. When the tile is selected, a plot is displayed. Each team makes a guess at the correlation. The team with the closest guess wins the points. In the event of a tie, the points are divided among the tying teams. When all tiles have been chosen, the team with the most points wins.
