Construct a Height-Weight Correlation Graph Using the class data collected, construct a graph of height (x-axis) vs. weight (y-axis). Be sure to use a scale that will give you a reasonably large graph; don’t end up with all your data points crowded in one place! Each student in the class will be represented by a single dot. Once all the dots are drawn, draw a straight or curved “best of fit” line through the dots. Construct a Height-Hair Length Correlation Graph Using the class data, construct a graph of height (x-axis) vs. hair length (y-axis). After all the points are plotted, draw a “best of fit” line or curve. Construct a Height-Blood Pressure Correlation Graph Using the class data, construct a graph of height (x-axis) vs. MAP (y-axis). After all the points are plotted draw a “best of fit” line. Lab Questions Did you see any resemblance to a “bell-shaped” curve in your height distribution graphs? Why or why not? Were the height distributions of males and females in your class different? Explain your answer. Was there a correlation between height and weight? Was it positive or negative? Was there a correlation between height and hair length? Was there a correlation between height and MAP? What might be a better factor(s) that would correlate with blood pressure? A wildlife biologist finds that there is a positive correlation between the number of deer and the number of rabbits in 20 different study areas. This biologist concludes that the deer and the rabbits are somehow helping each other survive. Do you see any problems with this logic? What possible explanations would you offer for this phenomenon?
