Description
1. Analyse data from the dropped ball experiment carried out as part of the physics unit. You will need to include calculations of:
• the Mean, Mode, Range and Standard deviation of the data.
• explain how standard deviation is interpreted.
• Calculate and interpret PMCC for the data.
• Use a scatter graph with a line of best fit to estimate values
• Calculate and interpret a regression for the LOBF.
• Compare the findings with theoretical models.
This section should be presented as a statistical findings report.
2. Analyse your own or given data and then present your findings as a professional presentation. Your presentation of the data will be taken into account in the grading of the unit. To meet the criteria for this task you will need to :
• Demonstrate the use of cumulative frequency diagrams
• Calculate probabilities
• Use a frequency polygon or histogram
• Explain different types of correlation
Please review the unit guide to ensure all of the learning objectives are met.
