Data Analysis

Variables:

• Height of a person (Scale Data)
• Length of elbow to tip of hand of a person (Scale Data)

Statistical Method

Since both the variables are scale data, we have decided to use the Pearson's r method to compute our results.


Pearson's r
Allows us to know the strength and direction of linear association between two scale variables.


Scatter Plot
We have generated a scatter plot with best fit line based on the data with had collected using SPSS.

We have also generated the Peason's r coefficient using SPSS.

There is a positive, very strong, and significant asociation between a person's height and 4 times the length of elbow to tip of hand. (r=0.810, p<0.05, N=31).



Limitations

• Sampling method is not representative
• Low response rate --> Some respondents were unwilling to have their height taken
