I would like to know whether there is a link between ability in Maths and in Science in the Year 7, 8 and 9 students at Mayfield High School. My initial thoughts are that there is a link between the two because Maths and Science share some of the same attributes - they both involve formulae, they both require logical ability, and they both use numbers. Furthermore, I think that someone with an interest in Maths will also have an interest in Science, and so will probably work hard at both. Data Collection To investigate this link, I will use the Key Stage 2 results from the Mayfield High School database. There are 813 Year 7, 8 and 9 students listed in the database, so to save time I will base my investigation on a sample of 30 of these students. Bias is anything that occurs when taking a sample that might prevent the sample from being a true representation of its parent population. To avoid bias, I will ensure that my selection of the sample is completely random. To ensure a random selection, I will use a random number generator on my calculator. In the database, the students are numbered from 1 to 813. As the random numbers appear on my calculator, I will record the associated data in two or three tables, once for all 30 students, one just for males and one just for females. I have decided to do this as I suspect that any link between ability in Maths and in Science may also in turn be linked to gender. Finally, before I collect my data, I will express one concern I have regarding the Mayfield High School database. Studying the database, I notice that one or two IQ values have been entered as low as 11 and 14. These are quite clearly inaccurate. I therefore fear some of the other data may have been inaccurately entered into the database. However, it is impossible to tell in the case of most of the other columns and therefore, I must simply resolve to just look out for any abnormalities in my calculations or diagrams that may be accounted to inaccurate data in the database.
