The plot of height with respect to ranking does not show an explicit relationship between the two variables, however we aim to test this relation in the Results Section. The plot of height with respect to ranking does not show an explicit relationship between the two variables, however we aim to test this relation in the Results Section.
\subsubsection{Effect of Handedness} \label{subsubsec:vhand}
We use distribution plots from Seaborn to visualise the distribution of points earned by left-handed and right-handed players overlapped on the same plot. The visualisation uses a kernel density estimate of the probability density function derived from the sample provided. We also plot separate distributions for male and female players in case there are any noticeable differences between genders.

\subsection{Statistical Tests} \label{subsec:stattests}
In testing the first hypothesis, we perform T-tests to analyse the effect of height on the points earned by players. Two T-tests are performed; one for each gender. Each gender of players are separated into two groups; a group of players that scored above the mean number of points and a group of players that scored below the mean number of points and these groups are compared in the T-tests. Later we perform a $\chi^2$ test on the groups together.
To test the second hypothesis, we use a T-test to measure the effect of handedness and a $\chi^2$ test to measure the difference between the expected values and the observed values and garner a probability that the sample belongs to the $\chi^2$ distribution.
