| Abstract: | Abstract A discriminant analysis equation was computed to predict buoyancy from 17 anthropometric variables. The subjects for the study were 74 Caucasian women and 81 Negro women university students. The Negro group had less buoyancy and was the only group for which it was possible to compute a discriminant equation as the Caucasian group did not have any nonfloaters. |
