Introduction
Maths – Handling Data Coursework
Used Cars
Plan & Introduction
In my data handling coursework, used cars. I am going to investigate the effects of used car selling prices. I will do this by putting the data in to a scatter graph. With the data I am going to determine whether my hypotheses are right. If not I will then try to discover the problem.
My data will be collected completely

Conclusion
The two outliers are Mercedes. This leads me to conclude that Mercedes is more expensive. This could be because it is a business car.

My Results show no correlation; this would lead me to conclude that mileage has no effect on the selling price. I have repeated this scatter graph with a different sample of data and there was still no correlation.
