Sleep researcher Chris Winter, MD, had just finished compiling "jet lag" and match results data for 22,855 Major League Baseball games over a nine-year period.
His interest was to see whether jet lag affected, which team won/lost professional baseball games. Was the win percentage that was less jet lagged? And when it was higher, was the difference significant enough to justify publication? Pupils are given an Excel spreadsheet with 43,710 rows of information (each game appears twice, one from each team's point of view), and requested to use these data to answer the research questions.
