Research Infos

Our research question is:

 Is the circumference of one’s elbow in centimeters equivalent to one’s ankle in centimeters?

Our hypothesis (H1):

The circumference of elbow in centimetres is equivalent to one’s ankle in centimeters.

Our null hypothesis (H0):

The circumference of elbow in centimeters is not equivalent to one’s ankle in centimeters.

Levels of measurement:

Circumference of elbow: Scale (in centimeters)
Circumference of ankle: Scale (in centimeters)
Gender: Nominal (in Male & Female)

Instrument use for measuring the data:

1) 2 measuring tapes.

2)  Data collection entry form. 

Measurement of certain body parts of yours are equivalent to another.
