Mr. Jones, a physical education teacher, notices that some of his students are better basketball players than others.
 
  He wonders if having a basketball net at home fosters the development of basketball skills. He gives his students a short survey that asks them if they have a basketball net at home. Sure enough, Mr. Jones finds that the better basketball players are more likely to have a net at home.
