Statistical Investigation

LI: To plan & carry out a statistical investigation.

For maths, we did a statistical investigation and found out information about LS2 students.

First, we got into pairs and thought about four different questions to ask the LS2 students. Our four questions were ‘What is your birthday month?’, ‘How old are you?’, ‘What is your favourite animal?’ and ‘What is your favourite food?’.

Next, we cut out the answers and stuck them to a large piece of paper to look like a graph. More people had their birthdays in February and June. Less people had their birthdays in December, April and September.

Finally, we looked through the information and data we collected in our statistical investigation and created a pie chart using a google draw.

I enjoyed this activity and performing this statistical investigation. Before carrying out this statistical investigation, I predicted that more people would be born in March, but instead of being right I got it wrong the correct answer was February & June
