Choosing of Statistical test
The statistical test depends on the type of research question – mainly difference or correlation question (Chia, 2009). In our research question, “Is a person’s length of their feet related to the length of their forearm?” both variable types are scale. Therefore, Pearson’s r statistical test is adopted. (Refer to the Decision path below)
Scatter plots for Length of feet and forearm data collected!
Both Scattered Plot generated showed positive linear relationship between both variables.
Our Findings
From the above table (Symmetric Measures), a Pearson's correlation coefficient of 0.693 indicates a moderately strong relationship between Right Forearm and Right Feet.
The above shows: (r=0.693, p<0.05, N=30). We reject the null hypothesis.
From the above table (Symmetric Measures), a Pearson's correlation coefficient of 0.705 indicates a moderately strong relationship between Left Forearm and Left Feet.
The above shows: ( r=0.705, p<0.05, N=30). We reject the null hypothesis.
