How was data collection done ?
• Our samples range from 17 years old to 31 years old • We explain and ask permission to our samples the reason of taking their body parts length and we thank them for their help • We all went to take our family, relatives and friends’ size of the forearm and the feet length • We ask them to straighten their forearm and place it on the table. and rest their legs on the floor How did you gather the samples ? • Respondents need to take off their foot wears and socks, remove accessories on both hands • Ensure good lighting • Respondents should be sitting on the chair and rest his/her forearm on the table and the feet lie flat on the floor • Ask the respondents to straighten their forearm and feet • 1st measurements are taken from the wrist of the hand to the elbow • 2nd measurements are taken from the 1st toe to the heel of the feet • Take each measurements from left and right upper and lower limbs • Total of 8 measurements from one person (2 on each limbs) • Record readings on the form • Obtain the mean of the measurements for forearm and foot length What did you use to measure ? • Three 30 cm rulers are used for the measurements of our respondents’ forearm and feet How often ? • After measuring left forearm and foot twice, we proceed to the right ones • After we gathered 2 sides of measurements, take the average of the readings Any rejections? • There were no rejections • Respondents are co-operative and willing to help us in our research • Just that some were shy and dare not let us take their photograph of their faces, thus, only feet and forearms were taken

We found an article which says that extended arms' length is equivalent to the vertical height of a human being from head to toe. This article inspired us to find out whether the length of a person's forearm is of same length as the foot.

Importance of study 1. For convenience of buying shoes when removal of shoes is inconvenient (when you're wearing shoes with shoelaces) 2. For purposes of instructing painters when painting body parts - length of forearm is proportionate to length of foot (That is almost the same length) Rationale - why did we choose those variables ? We wanted to check if length of forearm is related to the length of foot, since we were always told that they are. Research Question Is there a significant, positive relationship between the length of forearm and the length of foot? Null Hypothesis (H₀) There is no significant, positive relationship between length of a person's forearm and length of foot. Hypothesis (H₁) There is a significant, positive relationship between length of a person's forearm and length of foot |
