Y8 Statistics Math report
Introduction:
For math unit 2 statistics this year we created our own our
grouped surveys. We made a blog post with our questions and
wrote them in our math yellow book then went to other classes
to
collect data. I wanted to find out if there were any sports
that
people wanted in this school, and in my report I will show you
my
reports.
Research question:
Is there any 1 sport in this school, that isnt there and you
would
like to have?
Hypothesis:
People that have played sports that people dont usually know
will have a great answer to my question and I will get more
answers from the too.
Target audience:
My target audience was everyone in year 8, including the
people
that didnt play sports at all.
Why I chose this question:
I chose this question because I myself have in mind many
sports
in this school that isnt there, like cricket which I want to
play a lot
more so that I can become a cricketer when I grow up. I can
learn
the other sports also for general knowledge and great
experiences.

I think I used the Organization skills because I sorted out
my
data properly. I collected data in an organized manner, like
writing my results in a book as I got them. I also used it with
the
way I got my data, I asked the teacher to make everyone to
raisetheir hands up when their name came.
Data collection:
I collected my data by slowly going to each class in year 8
(starting from our own). I took my yellow book and sharpened
pencil then went to each class. When I reached the class I
would
knock and ask if I could take a survey. Then Id say the
question,and tell the teacher if she could say one name at a time
while the
students would day the one sport they would like for this
school
to have, like Ice hockey or lacrosse etc.

The sum of the number of students divided by the number of
sports: (7+1+3+3+1+1+5+4+2+1+1+4+1+1) / 14 = 2.5
Range: Sum of the highest amount of students minus the
lowest:
7-1= 6
Mean: Sum of the number of students divided by the sum of
the
number of sports= 2.5
Median: 14 divided by 2=7+1 is the middle number= 7th and
8th
= category= boxing and Quiditch = 1.5
Mode: The most repeated number (7 times) = 1

Graph:
Analyzing the graph
- The maximum number of students said they were happywith what
they want (7)
- 7 sports have the same number of preferences such
asskateboarding, American football, lacrosse, archery,
baseball,
rowing, and boxing (1)
This type of graph is the most appropriate graph, since it
shows the data clearly and compares the results of
preferences amongst the students.
