Your lab partner will be Thomas. You estimated his wingspan and said "150cm". Then Thomas estimated your wingspan and said "120cm." After that, you guys went to go measure each other's wingspan. Thomas's actual wingspan is 150cm and yours is 145cm. Then both of you found the difference. Thomas's difference is 0, and yours is 25
Later, both of you estimated each other's height. You estimated Thomas's height and said "150cm". He did the same and said "130cm" You guys then found each other's actual height. His is 149 and yours is 146. After that, you guys found the difference. Thomas's difference is 1, and yours is 16.
Based on the results of your measurements, do you think there is a relationship between human wingspan and height? If so, what do you think it is? State you answer in the from of a hypothesis. ( Okay, fine. This is my homework. I really really really really really really really really need help. Please answer!) I'l choose best answer!

Thomas: wingspan 150cm, height 149 cm
You: wingspan 145cm, height 146 cm
Hypothesis: A person's wingspan and height are nearly equal.

Based on the results of the measurements, there seems to be a 1:1 relationship.
Hypothesis: If a human's wingspan is measured, then his height will be the same.
It's hard to put that into an "If...then" statement, which is how my students have to do their hypothesis.
If your teacher lets you put "I think" statements, then you could say "I think a person's wingspan and height are the same"
Hey, aren't you supposed to make a hypothesis *before* the results? :)

I would write down that there is a reasonable correlation between a persons height and there wingspan that directly relates them to one another.
