Introduction
The purpose of this lab was to help us learn how to correctly and
efficiently collect data, specifically the height and wingspan of our fellow classmates. To collect data, we used a meter stick to measure the wingspan and height of our partners in centimeters (cm).

Questions
1) Some of the patterns we saw in the data were that
most people’s wingspan matched/was close to their height.
2) Our line of best fit crosses the y-axis at (144 cm, 131 cm). This means that a person who is 144 cm tall, would have a wingspan of 131 cm.
3) We would expect the line of best fit to cross the x-axis at (0 cm, 0 cm) because a person's wingspan is dependent on their height. Therefore, a person with no height should have no wingspan.
4) You could use the graph to predict a person’s wingspan by
finding their height. Their wingspan should be relatively close to, if not exactly the same, as their height.
5) The 91 cm tall 3 year-old’s wingspan should be approximately 89 cm.
