    Shoot Down Money at the Correct Correlation Game

    You will be given a correlation and your money will be flying through the air.  You must keep shooting down your money until the correlation for that scatter plot is within 0.1 of the correlation goal that is shown. You can destroy your money by shooting it down, but when you do you will lose that much money and the bill will turn into a point that becomes part of a scatter plot.  You start with $100.  Try to end with as much money as you can.  Click on Start to start the game.  Use the buttons below or the left and right arrow keys to rotate your gun and the up key to shoot.  Good Luck!
