2. Question
What effect does crossed eye/hand dominance have on basketball shooting percentage and how does it compare with uncrossed eye/hand dominance?

3. Hypothesis
I hypothesize that there will be a negative effect on the crossed eye/hand participants.
Studies show that being crossed hand/eye makes it more difficult to shoot because their hand-eye coordination isn’t as steady as people who are uncrossed.

4. Materials A basketball A basketball hoop
5 people who are crossed eye/hand
5 people who are uncrossed eye/hand
Pen/pad to record data

5. Procedures
Ask 5 people who are crossed eye/hand and 5 people who are uncrossed eye/hand to take 10 shots from certain spots on the court
Record how much they made and missed
Collect all of the data

7. Conclusion
My hypothesis was supported. The uncrossed eye/hand people had a better field goal percentage. The average of the crossed eye/hand people was 4.8 while the average of the uncrossed eye/hand participants was Uncrossed had the upper hand.
