Data handling 1 ( Thuy Anh and Yan Shin)


Hypothesis:
Taller students have bigger hands.
Statistics measure:
We added the hand span and the hand height together and took the height and take away the total of the hand span and the hand height added together.
Then we found the mean of each of them and drew a line of best of best fit.
Conclusion:
Looking at the results and the line of best fit, the hypothesis is correct. Well in most cases it is. I think that we do not have alot of students from 170-190cm But if we did the results would be more accurate and the probability of the hypothesis being start would be more. For me having the scatter graph for this experiment is very suitable.

  1. I think your explanation for 'Statistical Measures' is confusing to understand. So instead of explaning, you coud've written the sum out with minuses and stuff :)

  3. I think it is pretty good. And i can clearly see that taller students have bigger hands.

  4. I agree with Alyssa, I don't get why you added the hand spand and hand height together, but I agree with the conclusion(about the accuracy).

  5. i had to read your "Statistical Measures" 3 times before i got it. but i think it is smart. and you colourcoded it neatly and not so confusing so the colours dont clash. :)

  6. i think you should make your "statistical Measures" more easy to understand... maybe seperate the different steps??
