After a college football game, a box score is produced detailing the number of yards passing and running, receptions made and the number of interceptions and fumbles lost (among other statistics). Using the characteristics of useful information (including relevance and reliability), please explain how this box score meets (or does not meet) the characteristics of useful information. How would the football coach use this information to prepare for the next game, decide which players to start, etc.?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary, especially with respect to their knowledge of American Football! The instructor may wish to include other sports or other activities where a box score might be produced. In American Football, yards per carry, turnover margin, interceptions, fumbles, run vs. pass plays, 3rd down plays and success, yards per catch, yards after catch, number of tackles, etc. would all be useful.
