The article “Can We Really Walk Straight?”
(American Journal of Physical Anthropology [1992]:
19–27) reported on an experiment in which each of 20 healthy men was asked to walk as straight as possible to a target 60 m away at normal speed. Consider the following data on cadence (number of strides per second): 0.95 0.85 0.92 0.95 0.93 0.86 1.00 0.92 0.85 0.81 0.78 0.93 0.93 1.05 0.93 1.06 1.06 0.96 0.81 0.96 Use the methods developed in this chapter to summarize the data; include an interpretation or discussion whenever appropriate. (Note: The author of the paper used a rather sophisticated statistical analysis to conclude that people cannot walk in a straight line and suggested several explanations for this.)
