I averaged out my penis sizes during a typical 24-hour period. I factored in erections I could possibly get in my sleep, but also going swimming in an unheated pool. The average comes out to 2.9 inches, but there was no specific checkbox for that. That brings me to the problem that the domain of your graph is not optimal. There need to be more sample points below 3 inches and some of the high numbers can be taken off without losing any data (unless you are also measuring elephant genitalia). Also, you might want to include 0 inches for people who do not have a penis (besides, for mathematical reasons it is usually good to have points at the origin, I think it has something to do with the bible).
If you want I can send you a spreadsheet of my hourly measurements. If you need more accurate data, I can extend the sampling period over a week and use smaller time increments. In the name of science I am prepared to measure my penis every ten minutes (I'll try to time it so that I'm not measuring when I walk up to get my diploma).

I just assumed that it was an erect measurement.
All the same, an average of 3 inches throughout the day seems rather small. I hope your measurements come up a bit longer.

As a statistician in training, I'm inclined to agree with Lev. Henry, darling, your experiment organizational skills are rather lacking. You provided neither suggested method, nor the claim your wish to support. Of course, as a statistician, we generally seek causality, and you're doing this for an anthro class. I assume it's for one of those 'what strange things have become important to society, and how in hell did it happen, anyway?' type things.
as the femnazi: size doesn't matter for the hell of it: it's all about technique.

Rachel is more then happy with mine.
And when you measure your penis, the standard way is
fully erect, with the measuring device set at the base of the penis, on the top. so that if you're using a ruler, it should cover your penis, because it's over it.

(besides, for mathematical reasons it is usually good to have points at the origin, I think it has something to do with the bible). I might have to quote that on FB... Brilliant. For the sheer Punniness and perfectly dry execution, not cuz it involves the bible.
