Introduction.
My group has collected information about each other in the group. The information was on there:
Sex
Height
Arm Span
Head Circumference
Shoe Size
Eye Colour
We measured each group member and collected the data for each of these categories.
My aim for this piece of work was to collect all of the results from the people in the group and to make sure that my hypothesis is correct.
These results have been recorded into a data collection sheet and are Primary Data. We have tried to get these results as correctly as possible.
The information recorded from other groups is called Secondary Data; we do not know how accurate these results are because we were not there to make sure they were accurately recorded.
Some of the data like the arm span is Continuous; this means that it has been measured using a ruler or a tape measure.

My hypothesis.
My hypothesis is to prove that there is some kind of link between the height of a person and the size of there shoes. I have chosen...
