    1. The document describes an experiment measuring the upper limb length and height of 10 subjects. It found that the average upper limb length as a percentage of height was 0.37602%, supporting the hypothesis that upper limb length is 40% of height. 2. A graph showed measured upper limb lengths clustered around the line for expected length based on height. This distribution supported the hypothesis. 3. While the author was unable to fully discuss results with classmates, averaging upper limb lengths as a percentage of height for a few classmates' data also supported the 40% hypothesis.

    Exercise # 1. Scientific Methods and Measurement

    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 =

    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

    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.

    2. Write a hypothesis based on your observations.


    Hypothetically the length of the person’s upper limb is 40% of its 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.

    Total: 3.7601/10 = 0.37602%

    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%.....
    For instructional purposes only • 1st Semester SY 2021-2022 7

    0.3809 + 0.3973 + 0.4242 / 3 = 0.4008 or 0.4%


    For instructional purposes only • 1st Semester SY 2021-2022 8

    0.4313 + 0.4277 + 0.4218 + 0.425 + 0.4626 + 0.4762 + 0.4491/7 = 0.4419 or 0.4%


    For instructional purposes only • 1st Semester SY 2021-2022 9

    0.4114 + 0.4037 + 0.4187/3 = 0.4112 or 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.
