Sam's+Statistical+Inquiry

//Good question and very relevant to you- but remember to give some reason of why you've selected this issue- in order to have a real 'So What' you should (like you are) investigate something that's important to you.// || My Graphs || //It was true! Well constructed and uploaded- 2 versions of this graph (identical in every way apart from; Graph 1 with coloured bars related to the IP, and Graph 2 with coloured bars for the email provider) would assist you in making the patterns and trends more visible.// ||
 * //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. //Brave decision to use your own data group and be independent from the Census at school. Your prediction is clear- remember to add a reason for your thoughts- why do you think these results will come out of your survey?// ||
 * Stage 3; Data collection || My Survey I asked lots of people from many different schools and places around Auckland. (All at the Gang Show!!!!!!!!!) //Well constructed and easy to replicate on paper for people without access to the internet.// ||
 * Stage 4; Analysis of data || I can say that firefox was the most popular web browser because 21 out of 52 used it, it's nearest competitor was Internet Explorer with 12, I think the reason that Internet Explorer came second is because it comes free with every single windows computer and people never change. The best combination was G-Mail and Google Chrome with a score of 8. I think that this is because every time you log in to G-Mail there is a big ad for Google Chrome. G-Mail itself was by far the most popular E-Mail server with a score of 19 and its nearest competitor Hotmail at 13. //Well analysed- have you tried recording your data in a chart (Carroll diagram)- email providers running across the top of the chart and internet providers vertically along the side? This would help you to look for (and group) some common 'strong' links (of popular IP's or mail providers)//. ||
 * Stage 5; Graphing and charting your data || 
 * Stage 6; Interrogating your graphed data || From the graph it easy to see that my analysis is right!!
 * Stage 7; Conclusion, answer and 'So What' || There are some strong connections between the choice of E-Mail server and the browser type. For example people who use G-Mail are more likely to use Google Chrome or Firefox jover any other web browser and people who use Yahoo will use Internet Explorer. Also people who use Hotmail will probably use Firefox or Internet Explorer. //Good analysis, but is there a true exclusivity between IP's and email providers? Explain why these links/ pairs are more prominent (use your technical knowledge to explain)! Great use of the wiki to record your learning.// ||
