In conclusion, air pressure has a direct influence on the distance that the ball will travel when thrown. The hypothesis stated that if pressure is added to the football, then the distance the ball projects will increase when distance is a function of pressure. Based on the data that was collected from the experiment, the hypothesis was supported. When the football had more air inside, it went the farthest distance compared to the other two pressures that data was collected from.
The Deflategate was one of the more controversial topics of the 2015 NFL football season. For Review, during one of the Patriots postseason games, Tom Brady and some of the staff manipulated the pressure of the game balls during half time, and this affected play after the half. The Patriots went on to win this game, also giving birth to the Deflategate. The air pressure in

Future Experimenters might test throwing the ball at different speeds through the football passing machine. This may show something that could not be seen in the data from this experiment. In addition to receiving different data and statistics, experimenters may find outliers and anomalies that were not found in this set of data. Only testing at the one speed on the football passing machine may have hid statistical curves that could only be seen by changing the speed of the machine. By testing different speeds, it may show that normal regulation football will not actually travel the farthest. No prior research could be found on how the different speed of the football passing machine could change a collection of data. Also, one might simply make all the data more precise and accurate. Instead of just having one person to spot where the ball initially hits the ground, one might have several helpers to spot the ball. This could improve accuracy and precision when collecting
