Title: Contents: Introduction: Hypothesis 1 "Secondary school students grow taller as they grow older" Hypothesis 2: "Female secondary school students grow taller earlier before their male counterparts" Course of action (COA): (This is how I'm going to prove the above) To investigate the stated hypothesis, data regarding heights of students in various year groups was collected. This data was then separated into year groups and further into gender. This data was then randomly sampled and 40 items of data were selected from each year group, 20 from the male group and 20 from the female group. total randomly sampled data items = 5 * 40 =200. NOTE: You have to show that you understand that these values are 'estimates'. For example the mean average of height for males in year 7 which we calculate after grouping the data will not be the same as the value if you add all the heights together and divide by how many you have....
