Discussion:
The distribution of each graph is quite comparable as they have similar means and standard deviation, where the preferred hand has a mean of 16.33 and a standard deviation of 2.842 whilst the non-preferred hand has a mean of 17.2 and standard deviation of 2.848.
The normal distribution graph of each can be seen below:
Preferred Hand vs. Non-preferred Hand:
The graphs and boxplots (Figures 1.3- 1.6) seen previously in the results indicate that the two results did not have a normal distribution curve as the results were symmetrical, as in both cases the results aren’t perfectly symmetrical, however the data of the non-preferred hand shows indications of being symmetrical. Hence the non-preferred hand results are closer to having …show more content…
As previously discussed, the time available to conduct the experiment was limited; hence the amount of data that could’ve been obtained was limited. Therefore, if more time was available for the experiment, a bigger population sample would’ve been experimented, thus it provides more results to work with, whilst it also increases the reliability of the results.
Also the reflex test conducted on the different individuals were not conducted fairly, as different individuals chose different postures to each other, thus the results obtained may not have been fair as all the individuals should’ve continued the experiment in the same manner so that reliable results could be obtained.
The gap between their fingers and thumb varied on each individual therefore, this would’ve affected the results obtained, as the individuals who held their fingers closer would’ve been at an advantage compared to those who kept their fingers apart. Therefore if all the individuals tested on kept their fingers the same distance apart then the results would’ve been more
