5. In the context of this activity, write a brief description of the danger of extrapolation.
4. If there appears to be a relationship between age and flexibility, fit a model that is appropriate for describing the relationship.
3. After your class has collected appropriate data, use them to construct a scatterplot. Comment on the interesting features of the plot. Does it look like there is a relationship between age and
2. Working as a class, decide on a reasonable way to collect data on the two variables of interest.
1. Age and the measure of flexibility just described will be measured for a group of individuals. Our goal is to determine whether there is a relationship between age and this measure of
