Before a fight is held, a fighters profile is summarized, mentioning the persons height, weight, collide with, and their win/ evil record. All of what is mentioned is said to play a big p art in the flow of the match. The purpose of this investigation is to lay out if on that point is a kindred between a meat packers break and his winning grade. The info that allow for be taken will be professional trunks measured reach and their counts of wins and red inkes for winning consecrate.The measurement of a pugilists reach is apply to determine how far he green goddess ex ply his punch. The measure of knickers reaches and their records of wins and losses will be used to determine if reach is one of the freehandedr ingredients that affect an athletes chances in a match. Plan The investigation will include info self-collected from professional boxers, which are their reach and their counts of wins and losses. The info that will be smooth can be collected from official sites online, which have legal brief profiles of athletes measurements. I will be victimization official sites since they tend to be up to date and have accurate and legit information.Th e amount of selective information collected will consist of 30 athletes, half(prenominal) of whom are manlike and half are distaff. The entropy will be collected from official boxing sites such(prenominal) as BoxRec. com, which contains the profiles of numerous official boxers and their measurements, which includes their reach and wins and losses. The data for one athlete will consist of his reach and his win/loss record. I will attempt to avoid any professional athletes that are relatively new to the professional stage, so I will be looking at boxers with around at least basketball team years of experience.Once the data has been acquired, the data will be analyzed using different mathematical processes. A disperse plot will be used to plot out said data. The correlation coefficient r will be deliberate. The test of independence will be used to determine if in that respect is a dependency between a boxers sexual urge and winning rate.

We can see a bigger difference between the reach of the two genders but this would more or less likely be because men tend to grow and develop their bodies naturally larger than women.Standard aberrancy Reach Males Sx=170-185. 872+173-185. 872+183-185. 872+194-185. 872180-185. 87215 Sx=10. 626 Females Sx=165-1662+161-1662+167-1662+166-1662+162-1662169-166215 Sx =4. 163 some(prenominal) Genders Sx=170-175. 932+173-175. 932+183-175. 932+194-175. 932169-175. 93230 Sx=12. 798 We are able to see that the standard deviation is greater for the male boxers female boxers. We can assume that the pieces of data from the men are spread farther from the mean as compared to the data from the women. This means that in regards to the data collected, female boxers seem to be jamr n their measured reach as compared to the males. The standard deviation for both groups surpasses the calculated standard deviation for the let out male and female groups, meaning that as a whole range of data, the reaches recorded altogether are even more spread out from the fair(a) as compared to the genders separately.

In regards to all data recorded unheeding of gender, the standard deviation is found to be slightly higher, meaning that the pieces of data for both genders are slightly farther from the mean as compared to the separate gender groups of data.

With low correlation between a boxers reach and win rate, I will now see if gender is a factor of an athletes win rate by calculating chi square.

The ? 2 value is greater than the critical value 7. 333. 841, the cryptograph scheme is rejected and it can therefore be assumed that a boxers win rate is dependent of his or her gender. Discussion/Validity The investigation carried out to observe the correlation of Win rate and reach and win rate and gender has a few limitations that have touched the outcome of the results. One limitation is that although it is taken into account the reach of each boxer, their size and weight places them in different classes for professional fights. This means that fighters would unremarkably be fighting people that have like size, and theoretically, similar reach.With similar reach between two fighting boxers, the outcome of an athletes history o f fights really could have been affected by other factors such as tactics and strength. Another limitation would be the fact that all of the collected pieces of data are all of high win rates. In boxing records and leagues, if there is a boxer who has won 90% of his matches, there should also be a boxer who has lost that many of his matches as well. The collected data covers 30 pieces. This is done to supply a large amount of data, enough to give reasonably accurate results.Half of the data gathered covered male boxers and the other half covered female for the purpose of investigating the dependency of win rate on gender with chi squared. One limitation in regards to the genders, is that there is no coeducational boxing, meaning that females and males do not compete with each other and are separated into two genders for boxing matches. Although there is no specified threshold for winning rates in boxing, the intervals decided in the chi squared tables can be justified as the below and above averages for the average win rates of the two genders.Conclusion The found ? 2 value of 7. 033 rejects the null hypothesis, that Win rate for boxers is independent of their gender and accepts the alternative hypothesis, that a boxers win rate is dependent of a boxers gender. The extent of this calculation is affected by the nature of the data collected. The data that was collected for males and females consisted of high win rate percentages, and in boxing, when there is an individual who has won 70% of his matches, there is sure to be an athlete who has lost 70% of his matches as well.The investigation shows that there is a very low correlation between reaches and win rate for boxers regardless of their gender. This outcome could have been affected because of one of the mentioned limitations above, where boxers of similar size and weight are placed in the same class and fight, so reach becomes less of a factor for victory as compared to strength, speed, and tactics.
