What we hope to learn from our data:What we hope to learn from our data:• Is the relationship between height and weight different across the sexes?
• Does adding age as an independent variable change the relationship between height and weight?
• Can we prove, statistically that male height is different from female height in high schoolers? Is weight statistically different?
•Is female weight more variable than male weight? Is male height more variable than female height?
• Is there a statistical difference between male and female mean vision scores?

Possible Errors:Possible Errors:• R2 0.20 for all regressions
– Weight dependent on other factors– Diet,exercise, genetics, abnormal health conditions, muscle
to fat ratio, etc.
• Age variable approximates mean age from grade level
• Weight and height data may be overestimates due to method of collection
• Almost half of data is for 16 year old students
• Rounding errors in height and weight measurements
• Scale only measured up to 300 lbs

Conclusions:Conclusions:• Sex is statistically significant in determining the relationship
between height and weight• Age, as an independent variable, is statistically significant in
determining the relationship between height and weight for both males and females
• Mean female weight is less than mean male weight at the 95% level of significance
• At the 95% level of significance, variance of weight in females does not differ from that of males
• Male height is more variable than that of females at the 95%
level of significance • Because variance in vision is not equal between males and
females, we could not compare male and female mean vision scores by an unpaired t-test
