6.1. SPSS Data
6.2. Arm span vs. Height
p < 0.0005
n=30
a=0.05
Pearson’s R= 0.996 > 0, indicates a positive association.
Pearson’s R= 0.996 > 0.8, indicates a very strong association
Result: there is a positive, very strong association between a person's arm span and height.
6.3 Arm span vs Height vs Gender
The association for male is r = 0.986, p < 0.0005, n = 14, a = 0.05
The association for female is r = 0.960, p < 0.0005, n = 16, a = 0.05
p < a, reject the null hypothesis
Pearson’s R > 0, indicates a positive association.
Pearson’s R > 0.8, indicates a very strong association
Result: there is a positive, very strong association between a person's arm span and height for different gender with the association for male and female.
