Bivariate Data and Vitruvian man - Maths

 Does our class have the perfect body form?


Who is a Vitruvian man? The Vitruvian man is a drawing made by the Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci 

What is a Vitruvian man? Leonardo da Vinci's drawing of a male figure perfectly inscribed in a circle and square, known as the "Vitruvian Man," illustrates what he believed to be a divine connection between the human form and the universe. Beloved for its beauty and symbolic power, it is one of the most famous images in the world.




 

Q - Question

Do we have the perfect body proportion? 

P - Participants / Sample

I’m going to be measuring 12 boys heights and arm span from my maths class 

V - Variables and Values

My two variables are arm span and height

R - Relationship

 



S - Step by step


  • Get all the participants

  • Participants take off their shoes

  • A participant stands up straight on the whiteboard

  • Using a tape measure, measure their height from toe to top of the head

  • Once again we use a tape measure, participant stands up against the whiteboard with their arms stretched out and measure their arm span  

 


C - Control factors

Controlling and avoiding mistakes, taking off shoes, etc

C - Conditions

Using measuring tapes

R - Repeat

Repeating the measurements 



I collected my data and plotted the information onto google spreadsheets.

Analysis


Trend - The trend on this graph is a strong Linear graph. You can see that it is all bunched up together which makes it a positive linear graph. 

Direction - This graph is strongly Increasing. It is going upwards along the best fit line.

Strength - The strength on this graph is moderately strong. It is all bunched together.

Unusuals/outliers -  There are 3 outliers in this graph. The 3 outliers are the ones way off the best fit line.



Conclusion

Does our class have the perfect body proportions? Yes, I think the data I have collected shows that  95% of the class has got the perfect body proportions. We can see this in the trend, direction, and strength of the graph. The data that has been captured is a strong linear increasing scatter graph.
