Mayfield High School Coursework My Hypothesis: In my coursework I am going to investigate whether the taller a person is, the more that person weighs. Choosing My Sample: I have chosen to do a stratified random sample, by doing this I will end up with a sample which is proportional to each section of the population. By doing this is till mean that my sample will truly represent the whole population. Year Boys Girls Total Boys Girls 7 151 131 282 8 145 125 270 9 118 143 261 10 106 94 200 11 84 86 170 604 579 1183 51 49 To obtain the particular number of girls and boys from each year, I am going to select them randomly so the results aren't biased. I will select my random pupils by using a calculator by performing: 2ndF then by pressing the number 7. Using my stratified sample, I will produce a scatter graph for each year group; this is including three graphs per year group consisting of mixed (boys and girls) then another two, one with just the girls and the other with just the boys....
