IQ Between Students in Mayfield High School
Our task in this project, I chose to investigate on the IQ of students. I chose this factor because I believed that it could show an interesting results and how IQ could relate to Key Stage Results. I compared the IQ between male and female, IQ between each year group and the relationship between IQ and Key Stage 2 results. I expect to find that, as the IQ increase, the better the Key Stage 2 Results and also male students would have a higher IQ than female students. Also, students with a higher IQ would have higher KS2 grades. I would need to collect the information on IQ, Key Stage 2 Results for English, Science and Maths. I will use a sample size of 5% of each year group to keep it a fair investigation. When choosing my sample, I used the method of random stratified sampling. To do this, I numbered each student in each year group. Then I collected my random number by pressing the Ran# on the calculator. A number below 1 would be provided by the calculator and I would use the first 2 significant figures as the random number to pick from the data. For example, if the calculator gave me a number of 0.791. I would use the first 2 significant figures which is 7 and 9. Therefore, the number 79 would be my random number to choose from the data. I will show different data using different sets of graphs:
