Thomas Lock 10Z Maths GCSE Data Handling Coursework Summer 2005
"Do males perform better than females at the driving school?"
Scenario:
I am a business consultant brought in to have a look at the performance of a driving school. I have been given the raw data which shows, in no particular order, how different students have got on in their driving tests.
Introduction:
This experiment has the aim of proving the hypotheses (that I shall develop) by handling data and managing it effectively to instigate realistic results. The hypotheses will be based upon test results from a driving school. I am intending to explore the success of males and females in a driving school. I shall do this by testing the number of one hour lessons and the number of errors in a random sample of 30 males and 30 females. I aim to use this data to test several hypothesises.
Data:
The data which I will be using in this investigation has been gathered from an unknown driving school. I am acting as a business consultant brought in to have a look at the performance of said driving school. The raw data which I have been given is in list form and provides me with the performance of 239 students, of both sexes and includes:
* The number of one hour lessons before successful test.
* The total number of minor errors in test(s) taken.
