MATHS STATISTICS COURSEWORK
For my maths coursework I will be conducting an investigation into statistics. I had a choice for this coursework of both statistics on year 10 to 11 school children, and facts about them and also their likes in terms of sport and subjects at school. I chose not to do this project on that information; instead I chose data on 100 different cars, the reason for this is that cars more and may perhaps pursue it as a career. I did not want to do a project on data that I have no interest in.
The 100 different cars have data under the following headings, Car number in order from 1 to 100, the make of the car, the price when new of the car, the current second hand price, the age of the car, the colour of the car, engine size e.g. 2 litres, the type of fuel the car uses e.g. diesel or unleaded, the MPG (miles per gallon) this is roughly how many miles the car can travel at a constant speed on one gallon of fuel, the current mileage of the second hand car, if it has a service history or not, the number of previous owners, the length of the current MOT (road tax) if there is one, the TAX months, its insurance groups (this relates to the prices the owner will have to pay to insure the car, e.g. a high insurance group costs more money to insure), the number of doors (including the boot door), the style of car, if it has central locking or not, the type of gearbox and if manual the number of gears, if it has air conditioning, and finally, if airbags are included.
