PLANNING SHEET - MAYFIELD HIGH
Student Name: Anya Sweilam Class: 11H3
This investigation is based upon the students of Mayfield High School, a fictitious school- there are 1182 students at Mayfield presented within 13 categories. I will be investigating the relationship between height and weight and how these statistics differ between females and males. I have chosen to look at height and weight mainly because in this line of enquiry my data will be numerical and continuous, meaning that I will be able to produce a more detailed analysis. For example, if I had chosen to look at eye colour and hair colour my analysis would be limited and therefore my investigation may be imprecise.
My aim in this investigation is to query whether or not there is a correlation between height and weight and find out if this varies between genders. I believe that as a student becomes taller their weight will increase; due to this assumption I expect a graph of weight and height to show a rising trend. Listed below are my hypotheses.
The height and weight of a person is affected by their age and gender.
