Lab 2: Error in Measurement and Graphical Analysis Laboratory Report Name: Allison Bischoff Lab Partner(s): Karyn Fuller Jacob Varani Purpose of Experiment Write a fully developed paragraph that describes the purpose of the experiment. Include each of the following topics: 1) the main concept(s) being investigated, 2) the variables (quantities) being measured, 3) the instruments and techniques used, and 4) the type of analysis used to draw conclusions from the data. The main purpose of this lab was to learn several methods of taking, recording, and converting measurements. Using different measuring techniques, the circumference and diameter of three different objects were measured as well as the arm-span and height of ten different people. A meter stick was used to measure the disc, a Vernier caliper was used to measure the cylinder, a ruler was chosen to measure the coin, and a metric tape measure was used to measure the arm- span and height of each person. To measure the diameter of each object, the item was simply placed on the measuring device and measured according to the use of the instrument. The circumference of each item was measured by selecting a starting point on the object and then rolling the item next to the measuring tool until the starting point was reached. The arm-span was measured by taking the measuring tape from one tip of the middle finger to the other with the arms stretched out next to the body. The standing height of each person was measured from the top of their head to the floor, and the sitting height was measured from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet while sitting on a stool. The type of analysis used was graphical analysis. After all the data was collected, the data was used to make graphs of all the data so that trend lines could be observed.

Which measurement device do you think was more accurate? Support your answer. Looking at the data, the relationship between circumference and diameter is that the circumference is about three times larger than the diameter. According to the formula, pi times the diameter equals the circumference, in which pi is roughly 3.14. I think that the meter stick was more accurate because when I plugged my average values into the circumference formula, the average circumference for the disc was the closest to the calculated value.

Chloe 199 cm 187 cm 187:199 Data Analysis Question: Based upon the data collected, what relationship(s) can you glean between a person’s height and arms -span? The relationship between the height and the arm-span is supposed to be roughly a 1:1 ratio. Additionally, the females, overall, tended to have shorter arm-spans.

The lower segment is definitely longer than the upper segment. Additionally, the lower segment slightly less than the twice the upper segment. Graphs
