Washington Latin Public Charter School Data and Analysis:
Introduction: 5200 2nd St NW, Washington, DC 20011 ● We started with the equation
The equation we used was

Objective: ● All of our hang times are in the range
We will be able to find and average out our
vertical jump height and find the accurate of 0.47-0.5 seconds, which is about

Conclusion:
Once everybody in our group jumped three times, we added up those
four values for each person and found the average jump height for each
person. After that, we substituted that average jump height into our final
hang-time equation. We were able to fact check by logically making sure our
hang-time made sense compared to the world record of about 1 second;
and we believe our data is accurate because each of our hangtimes was no
more that half of the world record.
