N = 20 measurements
Mean forearm length = 262.1
Mean foot length = 255.7

Problem H2

Use the mean forearm length and the mean foot length to determine the quadrants and number of points in each quadrant.

Problem H3

a.	Use the quadrants from Problem H2 to create the contingency table for this data.
b.	What percentage of people with above-average forearm lengths also have above-average foot lengths?
c.	What percentage of people with above-average forearm lengths also have below-average foot lengths?
d.	What percentage of people with below-average forearm lengths also have below-average foot lengths?
e.	What percentage of people with below-average forearm lengths also have above-average foot lengths?
f.	What do these percentages say about the strength of the association between forearm length and foot length?

Problem H4

Consider the line Foot Length = Forearm Length (YL = X).
