Transcript: Will a higher compression softball travel farther? Hypothesis Average My hypothesis was right. The higher compression ball traveled farther than any other ball. Low: 219 ft, 312 ft, 294 ft, 229 ft, 281 ft, 301 ft, 271 ft, 318 ft, 318 ft Medium: 266 ft, 242 ft, 247 ft, 328 ft, 330 ft, 322 ft, 318 ft, 317 ft, 312 ft High: 274 ft, 289 ft, 237 ft, 330 ft,334 ft, 329 ft, 308 ft, 312 ft, 294 ft Data Thanks for Watching Procedure Bibliography 1. Hit each ball 2. Measure the distance each ball traveled 3. Record info on chart 4.
