Collection of our Data samples

We were in the library collecting the data samples we needed for our project. Though it was difficult cause we had to ask people we don't know but still we had fun doing it. Those people are really helpful so we manage to collect all 40 sample data in one day. =}



















Independent variable: height
Dependent variable: length

Conceptualization
Ø Height is the distance between the lowest and highest point of a person standing upright
Ø Length is measurement of one tip of finger to the other can be measured by using measuring tape in cm


Operationalization
Ø Height and length of one tip of finger to the other can be measured by using measuring tape in cm

By using the same measuring tapes (one tape on the wall and the other one use to measure the person’s length), same people helping to read the measurement and the same position of the way people stand to be measured can help ensure accuracy and consistency in our results


Our target Audience
Ø 40 males or female
Ø Of any age and race
Ø participants were selected through accidental sampling in NYP’s library


How samples were collected?

1)We booked a room in one of the NYP library discussion room and being to set up out equipment (measuring tape)

2)People who walked past out room we would kindly asked them for help to assist us in our data collection and explain to them the purpose of it and get their inform consent which include ensuring of confidentiality

3)After they agreed to help, we would ask them to take off their shoes and stand straight with back facing the wall and take their height

4)Next, we would ask them to put their hands straight perpendicularly to ensure accurate measurement of their length of one tip of finger to another

5)Lastly, we will appreciate their help by saying a big THANK YOU!

hi Ms Chia

we are from 0712 subgroup 3 and this is the question we are working on :

4. Do you agree with Leonardo’s work on how the size of one body part is related to that of another body part for the purpose of instructing painters on how to paint the human body?


Null Hypothesis

There is no significant relationship between a person's height(height) and the length of one tip of your finger to the other(length).


Alternative Hypothesis

There is a positive significant relationship between a person's height(height) and the length of one tip of your finger to the other(length).


The variable that we are measuring are:

  • Height : Scale Data
  • Length : Scale Data
  • Gender : Norminal Data
