Data Handling Project

This Data Handling Project is looking at a database based in Excel where there is data from Key Stage 3 and 4 from High School. This data consists of several columns containing both Quantative and Qualitative Information. Examples of this data are:

· Year Group

· Name; Surname, Forename 1 and Forename 2

· Age in Months and Years

· Month of Birthday

· Gender

· Hair Colour

· Eye Colour

· Left/Right Handed

· Favourite Colour

· Average number of Hours TV Watched per week

· SATS Results etc…

In this project I am going to make up several Hypothesises that I will use the data from the Data Base to help me prove. However …show more content…

This is because all of the data really evens itself out.

The differences between the Blonde and Brunette Females IQ Levels only really showed that there were 2 more Brunettes that had between 96 - 100 IQ's than the Blondes. This is not really strong evidence to base the statement of fact that Brunettes are more intelligent as they have higher IQ's than the Blondes.

The Box and Whisker Diagram for the Blonde Females IQ has a larger Lower Quartile, a smaller Median area, and a larger Upper Quartile than the Brunette Females IQ.

The spacing of the sections in these diagrams shows to me that due to the Blonde Females having a smaller Lower Quartile IQ space there are less people in this section than in the Brunette Females section. As the Upper Quartile is larger for the Blondes than the Brunettes this agrees with the fact that the Blondes appear to be slightly …show more content…

There was one anomaly in this data that I used to answer this Hypothesis. The piece of data that had the Anomaly was a girl in Yr. 11 with Blonde hair and an IQ Level of 11. I don't think that this is a real piece of data as in the whole IQ Levels for Key Stage 4 there was only 2 students with IQ Levels of under 76. These 2 levels were 11 and 14.

Therefore from conducting these graphs I can say that my Hypothesis is not true and that I didn't really find any great significant change in the IQ Levels.

Does the Average hours of TV Watched per week affect a persons Weight?

The hypothesis of this Question that I want to use the data from the Mayfield High School to prove is: ====================================================================

Is the increase in the amount of television watched by pupils in Year 10 reflected by their size, in weight? E.g. does the heaviest
