The correlation coefficient values exhibit that there is a moderate correlation between the number of females participating in outdoor physical activity; whereas, the number of males participating in outdoor physical activity has a low correlation with the weather.
Since the average amount of males participating in outdoor physical activity is relatively similar to that of females, and the standard deviation of both genders is large, it is expected that gender will not be significant in determining whether or not one exercises outdoors.
Figure 1.2. The Standard Deviation significance of males vs. females.
The standard deviation of the males and females overlap. This exhibits that there is no significant difference dependent on gender.
Figure 1.3. Accumulation of data for Week 1.
Monday March 5 2012 to Friday March 9 2012
Week 1 indicates the highest amount of active females occurred on Tuesday with a high temperature of 6°C, whereas there were more males on Monday with a temperature of 9°C.
Figure 1.4. Accumulation of data for Week 2.
Monday March 12 2012 to Friday March 16 2012
This graph shows that females were most active on Tuesday with a high of 9°C, and men on Friday with a high of 10°C.
Figure 1.5. Accumulation of data of Week 3.
Monday March 19 2012 t0 Friday March 23 2012
The highest male and female activity for week 3 was on Tuesday with a high of 8°C.
Figure 1.6. Accumulation of data of Week 4.
Monday March 26 2012 to Friday March 30 2012
Week 4 indicates the highest level of activity in both males and females was on Tuesday with a temperature of 15°C.
Figure 1.7. Percentage of females and the frequency they were observed within the 20 days of recording.
- All results where observed and recorded at same cross section of seawall, between same hours of 4:30-5:30 pm daily.
- The graphs indicate that men had the tendency to be outdoors in higher numbers when the weather was warmer
- Women were most active on Tuesdays, regardless of the weather throughout the week.
- Generally speaking, both male and female outdoor activity levels increase with warmer weather and decrease with cooler weather.
- On average, females tend to be in higher numbers exercising outdoors than men, comparatively in this study 52 to 41.
