Is it possible to help with the methods portion of the paper?

Here is the example given:

Methods

Sample: A convenience sample of 26 high school seniors was be used. Equipment: Task Force Hand Tools 25 foot tape measure.

Measurements: Each subject height (with shoes off) was determined with the subject standing flat footed and with erect posture. The arm span was taken with arms outstretched, parallel to the ground, from the tip of the right middle finger to the left middle finger across the back. All measurements were recorded to the nearest inch.

Statistical Procedures: Mean, median, standard deviation, minimum and maximum and measures of data distribution normality were calculated for the sample. Data were examined for outliers. Parametric or non-parametric statistical correlation were considered to determine the magnitude and significance of the relationship between arm span and height. Commented [dmb7]: Type of study Commented [dmb8]: Purpose statement 4 Parametric or non-parametric comparison of mean arm span measurement were considered to determine if males and females arm spans differed significantly. The decision as to whether parametric or non-parametric inferential tests were employed is detailed in the Results section.

Hypotheses tested: Null Hypothesis: (rho) =0 There is no significant relationship between arm span and height. Alternative Hypothesis: (rho) 0 There is a significant relationship between arm span and height. Null Hypothesis: (mu) male - (mu) female =0 There is no significant difference between mean width of male and female arm span. Alternative Hypothesis: (mu) male - (mu) female 0 There is a significant difference between mean width of male and female arm span. Hypotheses tested at the 0.05 level of significance.

This is just an example, but we would use the data previously posted.
