6. Stride vs Height Hypotheses: Taller people have longer strides Taller people are terrible at striding.

7. How are you going to do this? You need to be able to measure: – Height – Stride Are there any rules everyone needs to follow? Would it be best if only a few people collected the data?

20. Correlation Investigation

21. Birth Month vs Luck Hypotheses: Luck is related to the month you were born in Luck schmuck. It’s totally random

22. How are you going to do this? You need to be able to measure: – The month people were born – Luck (!) Are there any rules everyone needs to follow? Would it be best if only a few people collected the data?

23. Measuring Luck We’ll measure luck like this: Everyone needs to predict what number is going to appear next (between 2 and 8). If you get it right, you get 1 luck point. If you get a second one right, you get 2 luck points etc So if you get 2 numbers right, you get 3 points altogether, if you get 3 numbers right, you get 6 luck points altogether. We’ll do it 10 times.

24. Predict it now…
