Cell and molecularThe only things given to me during bio lab

-Cell and molecular-The only things given to me during bio lab were the following... Please explain, thank you.

It is hypothesized that taller people can jump further in a running broad jump contest. Below is the raw data gathered from five college age women of varying heights during a broad jump competition. They each jumped 3 times. Calculate the average to determine if this hypothesis should be accepted or rejected. Length of each jump Average length of jump Height of the women (in meters) (in meters) (in meters and feet/inches for your reference only) 1.0, 1.2, 0.9 1.4 m (4\'9\") 4.5, 3.2, 2.9 1.6 m (5\' 2\") 1.7m (5\' 6\") 5.5, 5.9, 4.8 2.7, 3.2, 3.5 1.8 m (5\' 10\") 1.9 m (6\' 2\") 3.3, 3.3, 3.9 Make a line depicting the average distance each woman jumped. Be sure your graph has a Graph tt, title, X & Y axis labeled along with units of measure and each data point on the graph is labeled with its corresponding value for clarity. Graph Title

Solution

I will tell you step by step how to plot this graph. Try doing it. In case you are not able to plot the graph with the help of my steps mentioned, please do get back I will do it for you.

First take the average of the length of each jump and fill column 3. So how do you take the average? Add the three values given in column 2 and divide by 3.

1) 1.0 + 1.2 + 0.9 / 3 = 1.0
2) 4.5 + 3.2 + 2.9 / 3 = 3.5
3) 5.5 + 5.9 + 4.8 / 3 = 5.4
4) 2.7 + 3.2 + 3.5 / 3 = 3.1
5) 3.3 + 3.3 + 3.9 / 3 = 3.5

Step 1: Take a graph sheet. Draw a straight line marking the x axis and y axis. Horizontal line is the x axis and vertical line is the y axis.

Then you need to consider the x-axis for height (in meters) and y axis for the average length of jump (in meters).
Ok now lets talk about the units. On the graph sheet, one unit is nothing but one single square (of 1 cm) within the bold lines.

So, write these units on the right corner of the graph sheet:
X axis: 1 unit = 0.2 meters (This can be taken by considering the least value and the highest value that we need to plot. From the values, it is clear that least is 1.4m and highest is 1.9m. So I have taken each unit to be 0.2meters). So, you will mark on the x axis as 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0.

Y axis: 1 unit = 0.5 meters (Follow the same approach as you did for x axis).

Now start plotting the values. First place a point at the junction of the value of height and value of length of the first person (First person has a height of 1.4m and lenght of jump is 1.0). In this manner, mark a point for all the people. You will obtain 5 points. Join all these points. You will get a hyperbolic graph.

Inference: From the graph you have obtained, you will find that as height of the person increases, the length of the jump does not increase.

P.S: I have plotted the graph and this is the result I obtained. I need you to try plotting the graph by yourself once. If you are not able to, then get back to me. I will share the one I have done.
