 Our null hypothesis claims that the people who overestimate are equal to those

Our null hypothesis claims that the people who overestimate are equal to those who know or underestimate their height. The alternate hypothesis claims that a majority of people (more than 50%) overestimate their height.

We obtained a class list of sophomores, juniors and seniors and numbered the girls

We obtained a class list of sophomores, juniors and seniors and numbered the girls and boys separately for each class. Then we used a random number generator on a calculator to select ten boys and ten girls from each class. We generated more than ten numbers, in case there any repeats or people unwilling to volunteer in the study. Then we found each of the randomly selected students and asked them to volunteer in our study. We asked the height of each participant and then measured them using the scale in the nurse’s office.

Because our hypothesis is a right-tailed test, the probability of this data coming from this normal curve is approximately 0%.

E= E=. 1415

E= E=. 1415

We used 1% level of significance; the probability of our data collected was 0% with a margin of error of. 1415 with a 99% confidence level. Therefore we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate: more than 50% of people overestimate their height.

If we were to do this project over, we would change our sampling procedure

If we were to do this project over, we would change our sampling procedure (allot more time for sampling, allow for a larger sample size). q Check the precision of the scale used. q Get rid of Dan Walts q Cultural bias-there wasn’t enough ethnic diversity to extrapolate results for the entire world population. q Geographic bias-All test results came from VVS High School. To better check the validity of the test we should have expanded our sample to include other High School students. q

 Use a consistent measurement (take measurements in centimeters). Blind testing – students that

Use a consistent measurement (take measurements in centimeters). Blind testing – students that were sampled later in the process may have found out what the test was about from other students. Time taken – some studies indicate you are taller in the morning than the afternoon, could this affect the data. Assure that people are standing properly to take accurate measurements.
