Homeostasis Lab Report
Question
Does age affect people’s ability to maintain homeostasis?
Does height affect people’s ability to maintain homeostasis?
Hypothesis
My hypothesis is that as people age, they begin having a more difficult time maintaining homeostasis because their body can no longer respond as quickly to an outside stimulus to restore homeostasis. However, due to the small age range of the sample set, there may be only a small discernable differences in heartbeats per minute between age groups.
My hypothesis is that, the taller the person, the more difficult time they will have in maintaining homeostasis. Because homeostasis relies on the transmission of signals between organs, these signals would have to travel further in a taller person compared to …show more content…
The closer absolute value of this number is to 1, the more correlation exists between the factor you have chosen to examine and the heart rate data.

This will give you a probability of obtaining these results by chance (p-value). P values below 0.05 indicate a statistically significant result.
