My Statistical Inquiry and teacher feedback

Read my reflections about Mathex 2009;

Excellent blend of graphs, but I feel like I'm missing some parts of your investigation! Always best to start with a question (I can guess what your question would be, using the data and graphs you've produced). Your 'issue' is a good one to choose, given the data available to you, and it is relevant to our age group. It is good to have some commentary in your invetigation including a prediction (about what you expect to find out) and a bit of an explanation about why you've selected your sample size. Your graphs are detailed and very well constructed- you have used a range of graph types which support your investigation and give some trends and patterns (which you could use to answer your initial question to- if you had one). All that is remaining to do now is to add some explanation and conclusion about your findings, drawing in your 3 variables of gender, travel type and bag weight and seek a connection between them.

 * //To use data and statistics/ To use mathematical inquiry// ||
 * Stage 1; Identify the problem and form a question || Does the E-Mail server people use effect their browser type, and vice versa? ||
 * Stage 2; Plan and hypothesise || I am going to ask my question to a variety of people including adults, children, females and males and I will ask at least 50. I will make sure not to just use BBI students as this may give a incorrect result. I think that people with G-Mail will have Google Chrome and lots of people will have Firefox. ||
 * Stage 3; Data collection || My Survey I asked lots of people from many different schools and places aaround Auckland. (All at the Gang Show!!!!!!!!!) ||
 * Stage 4; Analysis of data ||  ||
 * Stage 5; Graphing and charting your data ||  ||
 * Stage 6; Interrogating your graphed data ||  ||
 * Stage 7; Conclusion, answer and 'So What' ||  ||
