grue 1 #1 August 27, 2005 In a sample of 28 adult males (n = 28), the subject's height ( h ) and inseam( i ) measurement were acquired. From these numbers, a ratio of length.torso&head to length.legs was calculated by subtracting the inseam from the height, and then dividing the remaining number by the inseam ( (h-i)/i ). From these ratios, the range, median, mode, mean, and standard deviation were calculated. These figures are as follows: Range: 0.479 Median: 1.2 Mode: 1.176 Mean: 1.195 Standard deviation: 0.097 Thus, if the sample is representative of the adult male population, one can expect that the average adult male will be within 0.097 of 1.195 for the above ratio. This study proves that as a person with a ratio of 1.419, which is 2.3 standard deviations from the mean, I am a long torsoed freak.cavete terrae.

prepheckt 0 #3 August 27, 2005 Actually for a sample to be representative of the adult male population, the sample must be greater than or equal to 30."Dancing Argentine Tango is like doing calculus with your feet." -9 toes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should have gotten you that a long time ago. Sorry. For what it's worth I'm only just now ordering my new rig. Bonnie at Gravity Gear has the measurements and is selling my container and reserve in the used section of her website if you are still interested.

Elisha 1 #12 September 1, 2005 QuoteActually for a sample to be representative of the adult male population, the sample must be greater than or equal to 30. Not really. That's what the book will say to use a Normal Distribution as opposed to a Student t, but one of my Stat profs was saying that even a sample size of.....2 can work (if it really is random). grue's n==28 is fine.
