Ahhh!!! Need Help On Maths Coursework....

ITS STATISTICS!!! I H8 H8 H8 STATISTICS!!! BUT I STILL HAVE 2 DO IT LMAO!!
O WELL N E WYS.... HAVENT REALLY GOT A CLUE WHAT TO DO BECAUSE I HAVENT DONE ANY MATHS COURSEWORK BEFORE....:mad:
AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO START IT OFF OR TO DO ANY OF IT TO BE HONEST LOL:confused:
I NEED HELP....

OK SO OUR TEACHER WONT HELP US PROPERLY BECAUSE HE SAYS HE CANT TELL US... WE HAVE TO FIGURE THINGS OUT OURSELVES... ITS "THE RULES"

SO ALL OF US IN THE CLASS ARE COMPLETELY STUCK....

I'VE COLLECTED MY DATA BY DOING LIKE A QUESTIONAIRE THING...

I HAD A STATEMENT GIVEN TO ME: "ADULTS ARE BETTER AT ESTIMATING THAN CHILDREN"
WE HAVE TO INVESTIGATE THE TRUTH BEHIND THIS....
I USED MY SCHOOL STAFF AND PUPILS AS AN EXAMPLE, AND WORKED OUT MY REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE BY "STRATIFIED SAMPLING"

I DREW AN ANGLE AND A LINE ON 2 SEPERATE SHEETS OF PAPER AND ASKED PEOPLE TO ESTIMATE THE LENGTH OF THE LINE AND THE SIZE OF THE ANGLE...

I'VE SAID THAT AGE AFFECTS THE ACCURACY OF ESTIMATION... BUT I'M KIND OF FINDING IT HARD TO EXPLAIN WHY, I JUST CANT SEEM TO PUT IT IN WORDS LOL.... BASICALLY I THINK.....

IT DEPENDS ON WHATS BEING ESTIMATED,
HOW FAMILIAR EACH INDIVIUAL IS TO THE SUBJECT BEING ESTIMATED E.G ADULTS WILL BE MORE ACCURATE AT ESTIMATING THE PRICE OF A PINT OF MILK THAN A CHILD - ALTHOUGH THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS AS THERE COULD BE CHILDREN THAT DO THE SHOPPING AND WOULD KNOW...

OK I SEEM TO BE CONFUSING MYSELF BECAUSE I'M THINKING TOO MUCH OF ALL THE POSSIBILITIES....

SHOULD I ONLY BE FOCUSING ON MAJORITY AS APOSED TO POSSIBILITY???
WHAT ELSE AFFECTS ESTIMATION??
COULD I MAKE THINGS UP BASED ON MY DATA??
WELL WHAT ABOUT ALL THE ANOMALIES OF SOME OF THE GUESSES, I MEAN NOT TRYING TO BE RUDE BUT IN SOME CASES YR 7 STUDENTS WERE MORE ACCURATE THAN YR 11 STUDENTS!!!


I DUNO I DUNO ANY ADVICE OR SITES I REALLY REALLY NEED HELP!!!!

luv ya

Caps lock button is on the left, just above the shift button. :smile:

Sorry not meaning to be flippant but I just can't bear to read beyond "Adults are better at estimating than children".
