Definitions
Function- A relationship or expression involving one or
more variables.
Independent Variable- A variable whose variation does not
depend on that of another.
Dependent Variable- Variable whose value depends on that
of another.
Input- The number that is entered, for example, into a
function machine. The number that goes in is the input.

Definitions
Correlation- A connection between information.
Correlation Coefficients- The number that describes how
closely points in a scatter plot fit the line of best fit
Domain- All the values that go into a function
Range- The difference between the lowest and highest
values.

1st Statement
The arm span of a person is equal to the height of a
person.

Assumption
Before we began our research, we made the
assumption that this statement was...

False.

Graphs and Data

We collected data by measuring classmates
arm spans and body height.

Line of best fit: y = 0.67x + 57.74

Correlation Coefficient: 0.42
Moderately Correlated

Line from Equation

Statement: The arm span of a person is equal to the
height of a person.
Independent (x): Height of person
Dependent (y): Arm span of person
y=x (Height of person equals arm span)
f(x)=x

How and is it accurate?

.42 is closer to .5
.5 means moderately correlated
Positive number = positive correlation

Positive Moderate Correlation

Conclusion
Statement: The height of a person is the same as the
wingspan of a person
It is not true because a lot of the data we collected showed that
the height and wingspan can have a big difference but on the
same side it could also be very close

2nd Statement:
From the bottom of your chin to the top of
your head is of your body.

Assumption #2
Before we began our research, we made the
assumption that this statement was...

True.

Graphs and Data

We measured from the bottom of a
persons chin to the top of their head
then their entire body height
Line of Best Fit: y = 2.51x + 114. 89
Correlation Coefficient: 0.39
Weak Correlation

Line from Equation

Statement: From the bottom of your chin to the top of your
head is your body height.
Independent (x): Body Height
Dependent (y): Bottom of chin to top of the head
y=1/8x (Bottom of chin to top of the head is body height)
y(x)=1/8x)

How and is it accurate?

0.39 is closer to 0.3
0.3 means weakly correlated
Positive number = Positive Correlation

Positive Weak Correlation

Conclusion
Correlation Coefficient: 0.39: weak
It was not true because if the statement was
correct we would have .1 and the body
height would have to be the heights
shown on the side.
