Investigating the Relationship Between Humerus Length and Height of Human Beings

In order to investigate the relationship between humerus length and

height of human beings, I collected the data of each person’s height

and their humerus length (including me) in my class and created 2

scatter plots to study the relation between the 2 variables.

Process of getting data

Firstly, one of my tallest person in my class measured 5-6 people’s

height with a ruler, then someone exchanged his position. The person

who measured people’s height kept changing until the whole class knew

everyone’s height in the class. Then, people measured their own

humerus length using flexible rulers and told other people their

humerus length.

Creating scatter plots

After I got the data, I created the following two tables in order to

draw the scatter plots:
