3. The height of 20 highschool Students in Mary, Help of Christians College. (in inches)
65 67 67 60.5 65
67 68 62.5 61 65.5

65 58 62 63 53.

Average height based on the studies: 64 inches

N(-) : 9
N(0) : 0
N(+) : 11

TV = 9, because N(-) has a smaller value

4. TV > CV ; Accept the null

TV < CV ; Reject the null

5. Accept the Null Hypothesis. There is no significant difference between the height of our
highschool students and the height of a normal high school student based on the test. It
means that the height of our high school students is okay and fit to be normal.

Area of Focus
 Our Study was conducted because we know that there were high school students who
always complain about their height. They always are conscious about their height. We also know
that Height is one of the factors that determines your BMI (Body Mass Index). This tells you if
you are healthy or underweight. Our study will be for the high school students. To see if whether
their height is on the average. To see whether the high school students of our school is on the
average height of a normal high school student. This study is to provide to illuminate the eyes of
the students on what should be their height is.

Research Questions
1. Are the heights of the high school students from Mary, Help of Christians College are
with the average?

2. Why does height matter really matter for some people?

3. What other ways can our height be important?

Data Analysis and Interpretation

The Data shows that there is no significant difference between the average height of high
school students and the height of our high school students. I conclude that the other high school
students should not complain about their height. They should be aware that their height is okay
and fine. And the height of the students from our school is with the average height of a normal
high school students.

Recommendations
The test shows that it the heights are just normal. They have nothing to worry about
because it normal. They should continue having a balanced diet and complete their sleeping
schedule. If you think that you are small, maybe, your genetic DNA had caused that. If you have
parents that are not too tall, maybe that’s the reason why are you also short.
