Question:
70. The article Can We Really Walk Straight? (Amer.
J. Phys. Anthropol., 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 observations on cadence (number of strides per second):
.95 .85 .92 .95 .93 .86 1.00 .92 .85 .81
.78 .93 .93 1.05 .93 1.06 1.06 .96 .81 .96 Use the methods developed in this chapter to summarize the data; include an interpretation or discussion wherever appropriate. (Note: The author of the article used a rather sophisticated statistical analysis to conclude that people cannot walk in a straight line and suggested several explanations for this.)
