How fast can you write?

You and a partner will collect data on how fast you can write as sentence with your dominant hand, and then again with your non-dominant hand?

And then describe the relationship between between righting speeds for each hand. Use either your phone, the wall clock or an online timer and then record your data in the google form below.


After the data is collected (we should have data from both east and west campuses) analyze the data using a scatterplot.

Be sure to comment on direction, form, strength, and unusual features. Do you think there is an association, what about correlation?

Here is the sentence you will write.  First with your dominant hand, and then again with your non-dominant hand.

“Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.”




You can view the results of the form here.

Make a copy of the file before you make a scatterplot.

You can learn how to make a scatter plot in google docs here.
