Methodology

How was the data collection done?
To collect the data, we gathered 30 people including our classmates and lecture mates as our subjects. During each interval of our lectures, we would go around the lecture hall and measure the length of their left forearm and left foot.

How did we gather the samples? (E.g. measure from where to where?)
We measured from the middle of the wrist to the middle of the arm. As for the feet, some people may be very sensitive when we place the measuring tape on the soul of their foot, therefore we decided to measure the foot via the floor. So we placed the measuring tape by the side of their foot, measuring from the big toe to the heel.

What did we use to measure?
The instrument that we use was a measuring tape. In the begining, we experimented using a ruler and the measuring tape. However, after testing on ourselves, we decide a measuring tape would be a better choice. As due to the different circumfrence along our arm, measuring with a stiff ruler may not provide us with a very accurate result. So we standardise all to use a measuring tape to take our measurements.

How often- once or average of three?

Measured once.

Any rejection?
We faced less than a hand full of rejections. Reason being, they are too embarassed to show their feet for us to do a measurement or they were wearing shoes and did not want to remove them. Other than that, all our friends we asked from were more than happy to help.
