Mayfield high investigation
Mayfield high investigation A population may contain separate groups or strata. Each group needs to be fairly represented in the sample. The number from each group is proportional to the group size. The selection is then made at random from each group, this is called stratified sampling, and I need to use this to make sure my results represents each group fairly, the equation I need to use is:No. Of pupils in specific data X Sample No.Total No. Of pupilsStratified SamplingYr 10 boys= 106/ 370 X 60= 17Yr 10 girls= 99/370 X 60= 15Yr 11 boys= 84/370 X =14Yr 11 girls= 86/370 X 14Boys= 17+14=31Girls= 15+14=29Now from this I will randomly pick my sample of 60 pupils because it is big enough to represent the whole school, I will do this using my calculator by pressing 370Ran# this will give me a random number in decimals I will then round it off.English: These boxplots show variation in total ar...If a number comes up more than once I will ignore it. I will now keep going until I have a full set of data.Collecting The DataAs I have already mentioned in my introduction, I will use a sample of 60 students. Upon using the random sampling sample. I realised that I would need 31 boys and 29 girls to fairly represent each group.BoysHeight Weight1.9 701.6 501.6 471.68 591.8 721.77 591.72 621.75 451.75 571.57 491.73 571.54 541.63 561.61 561.65 471.65 551.6 511.67 661.72 511.65 421.69 51.75 601.7 722 601.86 801.51 381.57 541.61 451.5 451.52 441.62 51Here are all the boys to be included in my...
