1. Each point on the graph has two projections: one on the y-axis - which is the distance the home team ran; and one on the x-axis - which is the distance the opposing team ran.
2. Then, our first question can rephrased into finding out of how many points that have a y projection >350, also have an x projection >350. This is \(\frac{1}{7} \approx 0.143 = 14.3\%\), which is closest to 14%.
3. For the second question, if we increase the distance the home team ran, then the distance the opposing team ran would be somewhat random. So, between the two values there is no relationship.
