I wish to prove that there are definate relationships in dimensions between 
body parts.  ie.  Your arm span = your height,(Vitruvian Man) or The inside of 
your forearm equals your foot etc.  But I am stuck on how to word the 
hypothesis and how to prove my finding within a tolerance %. How many people 
would I have to measure?  Any age appropriate info would be great some is just 
way too hard for me to get my head around.  Can you suggest some other 
proportional facts.
