Data Handling 2- "Taller students have bigger hands" (Kimberley and Patrice)

Hypothesis: Taller students have bigger hands.

Statistical Measures: We decided that constructing a scatter graph on Autograph would be the most suitable to prove or disprove this hypothesis. First, we collected data from everyone in our maths set, their height, handspan and hand height. We took this data and for the x axis on our graph, put the hand span and the height for the y axis. Then, we plotted all the data and found the mean. After that, we found the line of best fit for our points on the graph.

Conclusion: This shows that generally, taller students have bigger hands. This is because the line of best fit was ascending, which means that as the height increased, so did the hand span. I think we could have taken more measurements from other students, not just our set, to make this data more accurate. In conclusion, this scatter graph proves that taller students have bigger hands.
