In this study I tested the heights of the Valdosta State University male population. I randomly selected males through a modified convenience sampling method where I chose the first ten males I saw and was able to measure in five different buildings around campus ( Student Recreation Center, Student Union, Nevins Hall, Odum Library, and Bailey Science Center) for a total of fifty. I measured each male with measure tape and marked off each measurement to the nearest eighth of an inch and recorded the data.
I researched and found out that between a good margin (between 88% and 92%) of Valdosta state students are from Georgia and I found through more research that the average height of males in Georgia is about 5’11’’ or 71 inches. I used this as my Ho: µ=71 inches because I am 5’11’’ and I feel short in most places at this university. So I hypothesized that the Ha: µ≠71 inches and tested my data versus the average I was given.
I found the mean (X ¯ ) to be 70.7165 inches which was not that much lower than the Georgia male height mean. The standard deviation for the sample came up as ...
...Circumference(Females)—Figure four displays the comparison of vertical jump to calf circumference measurement in the female data. Calf circumference versus jump height in females is shown to have a negative correlation.
For this statistical inference, the question was whether the means were truly different or could they have been samples from the same population. To do draw a conclusion, we must first assume normal distribution. We must also set the null hypothesis to m1 - m2 = 0. And per this assignment we must set the a-level at .05 and the hypothesis alternative to m1 - m2 ¹ 0; thus requiring a two-tailed test.
The first thing that was decided upon was to find the Mean, Median, and Mode. Using a calculator they were able to obtain the exact numbers.

Collected data were subjected to analysis of variance using the SAS (9.1, SAS institute, 2004) statistical software package. Statistical assessments of differences between mean values were performed by the LSD test at P = 0.05.

Fifty-four percent of Americans over the age of eighteen drink coffee daily, and it seems that over the past 100 years, humans have gradually increased in height. Supposedly, there’s an old wives’ tale that claims “coffee stunts your growth.” The exact origin of the myth rests unknown, but it thought to have originated from the Europeans (Grabinski et al. 2). Over several decades, multiple studies have concluded that coffee actually does not stunt growth, helping to diminish previous ideas that it did. The misconception that coffee stunts growth acts as an old wife’s tale however, height is hereditary, and drinking coffee has many unknown health benefits.
The two columns in the graph represent the mean values and the error lines represent the standard deviations of the tested grasshopper and human subject. The jumping distance of the grasshoppers was more than the jumping distance of humans and the TTEST value was less than 0.05.
In the ‘tween years, an average 2-3 inch height increase per year is expected. During this period of time, girls on average are 4’10” and boys are 4’9.5” tall. Subsequently, the weight of boys and girls follows the same pattern of girls
