Writing coursework can be a challenging task, especially when it comes to subjects like Edexcel

GCSE Statistics. Students often find themselves grappling with complex statistical concepts, data
analysis, and the presentation of findings. The difficulty is compounded by the need for accuracy,
clarity, and adherence to the specific guidelines provided by the examining board.

Edexcel GCSE Statistics coursework typically requires students to apply statistical methods to real-
world situations, analyze data, and draw meaningful conclusions. This process demands a solid
understanding of statistical techniques, mathematical proficiency, and the ability to communicate
findings effectively.

Students may face challenges in:

1. Data Collection: Gathering relevant and sufficient data can be time-consuming. Finding
appropriate sources and ensuring the data's reliability is crucial.
2. Statistical Analysis:Conducting statistical tests, interpreting results, and applying
appropriate methods can be intricate and may require a deep understanding of statistical
concepts.
3. Report Writing: Presenting the coursework in a clear and concise manner is essential.
Structuring the report, discussing methodology, and articulating findings coherently can be
demanding.

Given the complexities involved, some students may find it beneficial to seek assistance. While it's
essential to emphasize the importance of independent learning, there are reputable online platforms
that offer academic support.

One such platform is ⇒ HelpWriting.net ⇔, which provides professional writing services. If


students are struggling with their Edexcel GCSE Statistics coursework, they might consider seeking
help from experts in the field. ⇒ HelpWriting.net ⇔ can assist in various aspects of coursework
writing, including data analysis, interpretation, and report composition.

However, it's crucial for students to exercise caution when seeking external help and to ensure that
they adhere to ethical guidelines set by their educational institutions. Seeking assistance should be
viewed as a supplement to learning, and the primary focus should always be on understanding and
mastering the subject matter.

Remember, while external help can provide valuable support, the ultimate goal is for students to
develop the skills and knowledge required for their academic success.
As the statistics provided have not been collected by myself and are therefore a form of secondary
data, they may be seen as unreliable. This, despite it being on a small scale, can show us females are
generally taller than males in the earlier stages of development. However, we do guarantee that our
team will do whatever it takes for your academic success. As both boxes are of equal size both
distributions are equally U-shaped. Looking at the same pieces of data for the females, we can work
out that the range is in fact 5KG less than that of the males. I will use continuous qualitative data for
height and weight because they can both be measured and can be any value within a given range.
The distribution for the weight of males is, therefore, more U-shaped. Earlier I mentioned that in
years 7-9 females will generally be taller than males- this is because females tend to grow faster than
males during the early stages of development. The only problems I can oversee are those which are
included in the secondary data. I will, therefore, use a sample of 60 as it is easier to analyse the
pattern. It can be assumed that both these students are in KS3, (years 7-9), due to them being lighter
and shorter than most others on the graph. Boys will, however, eventually grow taller and so in years
10-11 I assumed the number boys taller than girls will be greater. I have chosen to look at height and
weight mainly because in this line of enquiry my data will be numerical and continuous, meaning that
I will be able to produce a more detailed analysis. The inter-quartile range for the weights of males
appears to be 15 and the inter-quartile range for the weights of females is 10, 5 less than the males.
The medians lie at the same point- 1.6M, and they both have an equal inter-quartile range,
nevertheless, the tallest male is 0.5M taller than the tallest female. These will allow me to assess the
consistency and dependability of my results and spot any anomalous results. Its flexibility, combined

assistance, like the Sun is in the center of the Solar System, you will be in the center of our staff's
attention. I expected the relationship between height and weight to show me a rising trend, although
it does, the trends are very weak, probably due to external factors. It can show many things about a
data set, like the lowest term in the set, the highest term in the set, the median, the upper quartile,
and the lower quartile. Looking at the same pieces of data for the females, we can work out that the
range is in fact 5KG less than that of the males. The advantage of the inter-quartile range over the
standard deviation, however, is that the inter-quartile range includes half of the points regardless of
the shape of the distribution. I anticipate that year sevens will be smaller and weight less than year
nine and eights. Help Center Here you'll find an answer to your question. Their qualifications and

stratify my data to keep the boys and girls in proportion.
As both boxes are of equal size both distributions are equally U-shaped. The distribution for the
weight of males is, therefore, more U-shaped. My new sample This sample is the corrected sample
with all problems removed. That year eight girls will weigh less year nine girls 9. It can be assumed
that both these students are in KS3, (years 7-9), due to them being lighter and shorter than most
others on the graph. Not to be biased I am going to stratify my data to keep the boys and girls in
proportion. But the number students of each gender of each year group are not of equal number, as
shown in the following table. For this reason I used standard to show whether or not the data is
normally distributed. The unreliability of the data can be proven by looking at these; many values are
missing and in some cases there appears to be two people with the same name. That year eight boys

the investigation, for example the dietary habits or quantity of exercise that the students do. There is
a weak positive correlation between height and weight for females and a moderate positive
correlation for males as it is slightly stronger. It is based upon the students of Mayfield High School,
and the statistics have therefore already been collected. The third and fourth row in the group of
male heights show a frequency of 0, which has an effect on the S-shape of the curve on my graph,
and possibly having an effect on the lower quartile. Every member of our team works according to a
strict honor code compiled of 5 main guarantees in order to ensure the best customer experience for

males are higher than that of the femles. In addition the sampler has created a person in each set of
data twice. This may be attributable to not involving external factors which may have influenced the
results, and overall the correlation, of these two scatter graphs, for example the dietary habits or
quantity of exercise that the students do. Perhaps this is because my sample size was simply not large
enough or there is in fact no correlation between height and weight. GIFs Highlight your latest work

coefficient, which will allow me to discover effortlessly the potency of correlation within a data set
of two variables, and whether this correlation is positive or negative. I will use stratified sampling to
choose the amount of data for each strata because it is representative of the whole population. That
year eight girls will be smaller than year nine girls 5. Box plots are important as they graphically
display whether the distribution is positively or negatively skewed or symmetrical, showing the
relationship between the data. There is a weak positive correlation between height and weight for
females and a moderate positive correlation for males as it is slightly stronger. The highest value for
females is 70KG (ignoring the outlier) and for males: 75KG, the median for the males’ weight is
5KG higher than that of the females. That year seven boys will weigh less year eight boys 6. That

year seven males that I should use in this investigation. I should be able to use all of the data,
however, if there are any anomalous results I will discount them as they will disrupt and affect the
pattern of the data. It is based upon the students of Mayfield High School, and the statistics have
therefore already been collected. I will calculate the mean for each year group and then I will verify
this result by finding the median from a cumulative frequency graph. What's more, your paper will be
thoroughly analyzed and improved in terms of the overall structure and content flow. Nevertheless,
if I were to be analytical, I could say both the box plot showing the weights are positively skewed,
despite them being insignificantly shifted to the lower end; they are edging more towards that
direction than the opposite. A thin box relative to the whiskers indicates that a very high number of
cases are contained within a very small segment of the sample indicating a distribution with a thinner
peak whereas a wider box is indicative of a wider peak and so, the wider the box, the more U-shaped
the distribution becomes. It will also achieve greater precision than, for example, random sampling;
therefore because it provides greater precision, a stratified sample often requires a smaller sample,
which will avert wasting unnecessary time. Chapter 1 600-1800 Beginnings Chapter 2 1800-1860

cumulative frequency of the data, and from this produce two cumulative frequency graphs which
will allow me to make a direct comparison between the heights and weights of males and females.
Earlier I mentioned that in years 7-9 females will generally be taller than males- this is because
females tend to grow faster than males during the early stages of development. These are useful
because they show the linear correlation as well as showing if the two data sestets are related. GCSE

distributed. That year seven boys will weigh less year eight boys 6. Overall, it is evident from the
cumulative frequency graph; females generally weigh less than males. My data will be normally
distributed if 95% of the data lies within 3 standard deviations. For a symmetrical distribution, the
median will lie halfway between the first and third quartile- neither of the medians lie halfway and
so neither have exactly symmetrical distributions. As the statistics provided have not been collected
by myself and are therefore a form of secondary data, they may be seen as unreliable. Adobe Express

males ranges between 1.55M and 1.7M whereas for the females it ranges between 1.5M and 1.65M,
showing us females are generally shorter than males.
I should be able to use all of the data, however, if there are any anomalous results I will discount
them as they will disrupt and affect the pattern of the data. Specifically, the box plots should
hopefully show me any miss calculations, outliers or anonymous results within the data provided. I
will calculate the mean for each year group and then I will verify this result by finding the median
from a cumulative frequency graph. I will compare my results and findings with any published
secondary tables or graphs available. Males will, however, eventually grow taller and so in years 10-
11 it can be assumed the number of males taller than females will be greater; this can be proven by
looking at the tallest of each sex. This, despite it being on a small scale, can show us females are
generally taller than males in the earlier stages of development. Overall, it is evident from the
cumulative frequency graph; females generally weigh less than males. I will use stratified sampling to
choose the amount of data for each strata because it is representative of the whole population. It will
also achieve greater precision than, for example, random sampling; therefore because it provides
greater precision, a stratified sample often requires a smaller sample, which will avert wasting
unnecessary time. Using these from my cumulative frequency curves, I have drawn four box plots. I
will then calculate the cumulative frequency of the data, and from this produce two cumulative
frequency graphs which will allow me to make a direct comparison between the heights and weights
of males and females. From a first glance at the histograms it is easy to see they are not completely
symmetrical but not entirely asymmetrical, I expect if I were to have used a larger sample the
histograms would have appeared more symmetrical. The tallest male is 1.83M and the tallest female
is 1.72M, demonstrating the fact that males do eventually grow taller than females. It will also ensure
better coverage of the population than simple random sampling, although it will be more complex to
organise and analyse results. As for the weight, boys are generally heavier than girls; this is due to
their body structure. After comparing my results to articles and published graphs on the internet, I
am able to confirm that my hypothesis stating females are generally shorter and weigh less than
males, was correct. The unreliability of the data can be proven by looking at these; many values are
missing and in some cases there appears to be two people with the same name. The lowest value
which appears on the box plot for males is 30KG and the highest is 75KG, giving us a range of
45KG. I, therefore, predict that my results will produce a pattern which shows that boys weigh more
than girls. For over a decade of operations, PaperHelp honed its problem-fixing skills to perfection,

seven boys will be smaller than year eight boys 2. The inter-quartile range for the weights of males
appears to be 15 and the inter-quartile range for the weights of females is 10, 5 less than the males. I
believe that as a student becomes taller their weight will increase; due to this assumption I expect a
graph of weight and height to show a rising trend.
