Write the fractions, decimals, and percents for each year of the Regular Season ~ Field Goals Made OUT OF Field Goals Attempted and 3-Point Field Goals Made OUT OF Field Goals Attempted 3. Paul says, "It's easy to tell which player has the best Field Goal percentage. In the second to the last year, Rose had 711, James had 758, and MJ had 920 so it's Michael Jordan." Is Paul right? Do you agree with Paul's strategy? What would you tell him to justify your thinking? 4. Once and for all, based on the data collected, who do //you// believe was the best at Field Goals and 3-Point Field Goals during the last three seasons? Support your conclusion with evidence.
