First Hypothesis My first hypothesis is that school pupils can estimate the length of a line, in millimeters, better than the size of an angle, in degrees. Plan for collecting data To see if my hypothesis is true I am going to have to support it with data. The first aspect I had to consider was whether to collect primary or secondary data. I decided to collect them both, as then I will have a variety of data to compare. Then mainly I had to think what data would suggest that my hypothesis is true. My plan is to collect data on people estimating a line and an angle. I did a pilot study to find the best way of asking people to estimate. I learnt that I should ask people to write their estimates down otherwise other people may be influenced from their answer making the data would be biased. This...
