Is there a relationship between hand span width and height? Statisticians survey each other by taking measurements of both. A table that can hold data for 24 individuals is printed onto the worksheet, along with questions for analysis. Learners must graph the data on a separate piece of paper. This is a fun and interactive way to investigate association patterns!
