1. WHO’S BETTER AT ESTIMATING
MALES OR FEMALES

2. QUESTION
Who’s better at estimating males or females?

3. PURPOSE
The purpose of this project is to determine who is better at estimating the unknown, males or females? This is important because you want to go to the person who is better.

4. HYPOTHESIS
We hypothesis that females will be the better estimating. We believe this because they are good at math and school.

5. Procedure

6. Jar Kit Kat's Crayons Paper clips Bracelets Rubber bands
MATERIALS
Jar
Kit Kat's
Crayons
Paper clips
Bracelets
Rubber bands

7. Manipulated: males and females Responding: estimates
VARIABLES
Manipulated: males and females
Responding: estimates
Constant: jar, same amount of things in the jar for each trial, the number of each gender asked to estimate.

8. DIRECTIONS 1. Record how many Kit Kat's fit in the jar.
2. Put kit Kat's in jar.
3. Have males and females estimate the number of Kit Kat's they think is in the jar.
4. Repeat 1-3 with rubber bands.
5. Repeat 1-3with paper clips
6. Repeat 1-3 with bracelets
7. Repeat 1-3 with crayons
8. In each trial, calculate the average estimate.
9. Calculate the average difference between actual and average estimates.

11. AVERAGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACTUAL AND ESTIMATES

12. Conclusion
Our hypothesis was incorrect. Males are better at estimating than females. The average difference between actual and estimates for the males was and the females was It would be interesting to see if males were better at estimating other things such as height and distance.
