Data analysis & ranking: 169.5cm was left in the data set as it cannot be classified as an outlier. 24cm however was taken out as it is not possible to have a waist of 24cm without people in hospital 1. Mean: 78.797cm = 78.80cm 2. Standard deviation: 10.64 SDs 3. Ranking: Just above average – Around the 75th percentile Comparison with the BIOL1900 cohort: I am similar to the BIOL1900 Male cohort as I just above average with a waist circumference of 82cm. I used the mean to determine if I was above or below the average and the standard deviation value to determine how far from the mean I was. I found that as stated before, I have a slightly above average (75th percentile) waist circumference when compared to the Males in BIOL1900. I am …show more content…

I found that as stated before, I have a slightly above average Vertical jump when compared to the Males in BIOL1900 and approximately 0.36 SDs above the mean. I can jump 4.34cm (2d.p.) higher than the average vertical jump which means I can jump higher than 72% of the Males in BIOL1900. Comparison with the general population: When compared to the normative data for vertical jumps, I am simply average with 63cm. The data displays that 55-59cm is poor, 60-65cm is average, and 66-78cm is good and above 78cm is excellent. Thus, I am simply average being 16cm less than excellent and 3cm less than being good when compared with the normative data. The general population data is quite questionable as the standards most probably were not set in Australia and didn’t account for different environmental stresses. Nevertheless, when compared with the general population, I am average with a vertical jump of 63cm. Biophysical measure no. 3: Standing long jump Data analysis: *There is a value of 60cm and I chose not to take it rectify it as it could be a valid data point. 13 values were corrected from metres to cm. E.g. 1.7 to 170. 1. Mean: 216.23 cm 2. Standard deviation: 31.46 3. Ranking: Well above average – around the 80-85th percentile. Comparison with the BIOL1900 cohort: I am not similar to the BIOL1900 Male cohort as I well above average with a standing long
