Mice Coursework

Introduction

In this coursework I am going to compare two sets of data about the weight of male and female mice. I am then going to make a hypothesis about the weights of these mice and then find out whether or not I am correct.

Hypothesis

My hypothesis is that male mice will be heavier than the female mice. I think this because usually males need to eat more and tend to be bigger.

Grouping the Mice.

In this coursework I will also have quite a few graphs. By making these graphs I can compare the data and then see if the results support my hypothesis or not.

I will start of by put the mice into groups. By doing this it will save me a lot of time and make my data my easier to compare. Also grouping the data enables me to draw the graphs which help me to compare the data. After I group the data I will also find the mean average for both sets of mice.

Female

So the mean average of female mice is 1932.5÷107= 18.10 (2 d.p. places)

Male

So the mean average of male mice is 1710÷94= 18.20 (2 d.p. places)
