Part A
1. Record measurements for height and the upper limb length of ten subjects. Use a calculator to
determine the expected upper limb length and the actual percentage (as a decimal or a
percentage) of the height for the ten subjects. Record your results in the following table:
Measured Height x 0.4 = Actual % of Height =
Height Upper Limb Expected Upper Upper Limb
Subject
(cm) Length (cm) Limb Length Length(cm)/Height (cm)

2. Plot the distribution of data (upper limb length and height) collected for the ten subjects on the
following graph. The line located on the graph represents the expected 0.4 (40%) upper limb
length compared to measured height (the original hypothesis). (Note that the x-axis represents

upper limb length, and the y-axis represents height.) Draw a line of best fits through the
distribution of points. Compare the two distributions.

3. Does the distribution of the ten subjects measured upper limb length support or disprove the
original hypothesis? ___________ Explain your answer.
The results of the 10 participants' upper limb length measurements support the hypothesis
that those with longer upper limbs are taller than those with shorter limbs. According to the
statistics and graphs, the longer the upper length limb measurement, the higher the height.
Because the length of a person's upper limb is equal to 40% of their height, it confirms the idea.
As the mean of the summation of the upper limb length divided by the height of the participants
resulted to be 0.37602% or 0.4%
Part B
1. Describe your observations of a possible correlation between the radius lengths (upper limb
length) to height.
In my observations of a possible correlation between the person’s upper limb length and their
height is that in reality a person’s average upper length limb is 40% of their total height.
3. Describe the design of the experiment that you devised to test your hypothesis.
To prove and to test my hypothesis, I measured 10 persons including my classmates,
relatives and friends’ upper limb length in centimeters and their height in centimeters to realized
the experiment. I get and calculated the percentage of upper limb length of each participant with
their height and later on I gathered together the data, the mean of all the total average of the upper
limb length would be comparable to our 40% hypothesis.

4. Place your analysis of the data in this space in the form of a table and a graph.
5. Based on the analysis of your data, what conclusions can you make? Did these conclusions
confirm or refute your original hypothesis?
Based on the analysis of my data, I concluded that the test or experimentation proves the
hypothesis of having a 40% upper limb length to a person’s height. And because of this
conclusion, it supported to the hypothesis since I was able to figured out the percentages needed
to test the experiment.
6. Discuss your results and conclusions with other classmates. What common conclusion can
the class formulate concerning the correlation between radius lengths to height?
I really have not a proper discussion to my classmates regarding this because I do not
know also if I am doing it right and I was working it late, some of my classmates never work on it
still, some are working on it yet still pending on how to do the graphs or lack of participants in
their data. But somehow, I found a solution just to compare if my conclusion is correct. I gathered
all the collected participants even it is not complete 10 and just getting the mean of those
participants and letting me find out if its comparable to 0.4%.....

Therefore, based on my data gathered from my classmates is that it supported the hypothesis of
having 0.4 % or 40 % of upper limb length correlation with a person’s height. As a result, a person’s
upper limb is 60% shorter than the person’s height.
