Scatter plot

Arm-span

My question is what is the

correlation between a persons
height and arm-span?

Introduction

Height

Graph paper

The materials we used for this

experiment is a graph paper,
measuring tape and a
marker.

Outcome

Positive/Negative

Observation

Measure

If you measure a persons

height and their arm-span, I
think there will be a positive
correlation because the taller
you grow, the longer your
arm will grow.

While the two people

measured each persons
height and arm-span, they
marked each person end of
fingertips and the top of their
heads.

Steps

Procedures

The steps we did during

process of the project was to
measure each students height
and arm-span.

Process

Independent/ dependent variables

Background
Information

Input/ Output

The independent variable is

that I went to be measure by
my height and arm-span. the
dependent variable is that I
got measured by a measuring
tape from fingertip to
fingertip, and the top of my
head to the bottom of my
toes.

Explanation

The results in my data table

were that each persons
height and arm-span
accuracy is about 89.98 %.

I found that my hypothesis

was right because the
measure of our height and
arm-span are exactly the
same.
