What I
saw

First we got the

materials and then we
measure everybody's
arm span and height and
finally we graph it to find
out weather its a
negative correlation or a
positive correlation or
no correlation.

We plotted the data and

I saw that the graph is a
positive correlation
because the X is going
up and so was y

explanation

The results
in my data
table was..

The independent
variable is that I chose
the X (Arm span) to find
out the Y (Height)the
dependent variable is
the y (height) because it
was similar or some
what same as the X (arm

According to my results
if you grow height your

conclusion

I found out that

my hypothesis
was..

In my hypothesis I said
that our lab would be a
positive correlation
because our arm span is
that same as our height
which is true because
most of the people most
in our class had the
exact arm span as their
height.
