Question:

While a high school student in Texas, Andrea Axtell conducted a project in which she investigated how well blindfolded students can walk in a straight line. She recruited 30 subjects by randomly selecting students at her school. She put the subjects on the center hash mark of a football field’s goal line, blindfolded them, and asked them to walk in a straight line toward the opposite goal line. She then recorded the yard line at which the subject crossed the sideline, so larger values indicate that the subject walked farther before veering off course. The data, including the heights of the 30 subjects, appear in the file WalkingStraight. Analyze the data to investigate whether taller people tend to walk farther before veering off course. Write a paragraph summarizing your findings. Include an appropriate graph and numerical summaries. Also conduct inference (p-values,  onfidence intervals) using both simulation- and theory-based methods. Summarize your conclusions.
