Correlation between ring finger length and athletic ability

1 2 3 4 5

Observation

It was observed that most of the athletic girls had longer ring fingers. When the index and ring fingers of the non-athletic girls were measured, it was observed that most of them had ring and index fingers of the same length. It was also found that the finger length ratio of both hands of almost all 20 girls was the same.

Condition	Comparing index and ring finger lengths among athletic and non-athletic girls
Condition	Left –longer index	Left- longer ring	Left – equal	Right – longer index	Right- longer ring	Right -equal
Athletic	3	6	1	3	5	2
Non-athletic	1	3	6	1	2	7

The above results were then plotted onto a graph, as shown below.
