Data analysis – 22/10/09
What should be in the data presentation section? take each site for the environmental survey - describe and explain the answers describe the results of the questionnaire for each prediction you have made describe what the results show and how they relate to the hypothesis answer the hypothesis
Task 1 Take each site for the environmental survey - describe and explain the answers For example: Site one achieved an average score of 7.6 for vacant and derelict land. This is because..... Site one achieved an average score of 0.4 for open space and grassy areas because..... Important to use figures in answers and try to explain them When explaining use the map to help you – look for housing patterns and land use zones.
The predictions At the start of the coursework you created 10 predictions For each prediction you must say if they were correct or not and why Use the figures and link back to the main hypothesis
The predictions For example: I predict most people in the north ward of Cleethorpes will live in terraced houses This is correct as my questionnaire showed that out of the 6 people asked who lived in north ward 5 people did. I expected this because when I looked at an OS map of Cleethorpes I could see that most of the roads in the North ward were in grid patterns which is typical of pre-war terraced housing in this country. I believe that this shows people in North ward to have a lower quality of life than those in South ward because they live in smaller houses......(link to south ward results)
Answering the Hypothesis Our hypothesis: People living in South ward will have the highest quality of life. I believe to have a high quality of life you should have...... In South ward people’s cars on average are less than 3 years old whereas in North ward people’s cars on average are more than 6 years old. This suggests people in South ward have more money and thus have a higher quality of life.
