[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 984913, member: 2299"] That isn't how variance works. You need more than just the mean to determine that. Taking each game as an individual data point (which yes has it's own issues but it's the quickest way to get a decent picture) we get the following for our team this year for 2 point our fg% average is 47.15% with a standard deviation of 10.4. for 3 point our fg% average is 29.325% with a standard deviation of 6.88. So for our team we have significantly less variance in our 3point shooting than our 2 point shooting. Now you could go further and account for 3s being worth 50% more than twos which would make a swing in 3% account for a bigger swing in points than 2s, but we also shoot about 50% more twos than we do threes which would make the 2fg% swing have a bigger swing in baskets made meaning a bigger swing in points. Without actually looking at it more closely I'm tempted to just stick with the above and say our variance on 3 point shooting is less than that of our 2 fg% right now. [/QUOTE]
