How Coffee affects

Height
Brynn Morgan, Tyler Williams, Nick Summers
Introduction
If the ounces of coffee increase then the height decreases
with a moderate negative correlation
We gathered our data via a sample survey
Data Set
Population- the entire group of individuals being studied
Our population would be the Dubois Area High School.
Sample- a set of data collected and or selected from a
population.
Our sample would be the individuals we interviewed.
Variable-any characteristic of an individual.
Our variables would be amount of coffee consumed and the
height of an individual.

Interpret
Correlation- describes the direction and strength of a straight
line relationship (r).
Coefficient of Determination- the variation in the values of y
that is explained by the least squares regression of y on x.
If r = 0.049 the correlation is positive meaning that as the
amount of Ounces of coffee increase, height also increases.
The correlation of 0.049 means the correlation is weak
meaning the correlation is invalid. Since r = 0.049, then r2 =
0.0024 meaning any prediction has a .24% variation.
Prediction
Y= 0.0168x + 64.82
73= 0.0168x + 64.82
8.18= 0.0168x
486.905= x
If someone is 73 inches tall I predict that they drank 486.905
ounces of coffee in a day with a .24% variation.
Lurking Variables
One lurking variable could be genetics. It would affect the
scatterplot by fixing the heights of certain individuals.
Another lurking variable could be when the individual started
to drink coffee. It affects the scatterplot by delaying the
effects of coffee on their height.
Conclusion
If the ounces of coffee increase then the height decreases
with a moderate negative correlation
Our hypothesis was incorrect. The correlation of 0.049 meant
that the direction and strength were positive and weak.
