Hey guys, I'm in desperate need of some data for my IA. My teacher expects me to have 50 to 75 entries but I only have 19 so far (yikes). Therefore, please fill out my survey! It is very short and will really not take any of your time. Thanks!! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WBT9JRC

In my internal assessment I am investigating the relationship between alcohol consumption and heart disease mortality for 30 European countries. To calculate the standard deviations, and then use it to calculate the pearsons coefficient and the linear rigression line, should I use the formula for the sample or population? Thank you!

I am tasked with writing a math IA for Math Studies, but I have no idea what to write on. Our teacher is heavily leaning on the class to either write about a topic that uses Chi Squared testing or Linear Regression as our higher math process, but I don't know what to choose. I've always been bad with coming up with writing topics, but this one has me totally lost. What are some good topics to write on?

Hi All, As the title says, I need help with my Math IA, I was thinking on doing a "possible prediction" with the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation, to guess the temperature of a yet ,unchosen island on the world in a random year (maybe some place affected by global warming), as well as a formula that could give me an approximate result, it's explicit to say that I will see if there exists a strong, weak, very strong or zero correlation on the temperatures, I plan on maybe doing a period of 12 terms each of 5 years on, for example: Years 1940 1945 1950 1955 1960 1965 1970 1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2020 2070 …

So we currently do not have any math studies IB teacher in my school which means that normal teachers who don't really know much about IB are going to be grading our IA's. The teacher that we have been assigned to is a substitute and I do not believe in his judgements on my math IA, so I was wondering if there is any place I could submit my IA so someone can provide me feedback on it or anyone who would be willing to read my math IA and make some judgements about it as well? My IA will be due in march

So my IA is due tomorrow and my topic is on finding a correlation between gender and time spent in the library. I have already done mean and std for my simple tests, in addition to chi-squared. Now the problem is, I am not sure of what other test to make use of. Most of my variables are categorical, and so I am stuck. PLS HELP URGENTLY

Hello, I am currently in my first year of the IB programme and I am considering changing my Math Standard Level to Math Studies. I have been working and studying really hard to improve in math but I have been stuck on a 4 ever since meanwhile my grades in all other subjects are going up. But, I am just worried it will affect the universities I want to apply to, my university guidance counsellor says I won't really be affected since I am looking to apply for medicine or economics. I mainly want to apply to universities in the US, where I believe they mostly look at how well you are performing and how high your grades are rather than how well you improve. Thank you!

My math class has been assigned our IA's this past month. I'm wondering what kind of math processes would fit my topic best. the question is "Is there a correlation between number of drunk teen drivers and the total number of alcohol related crashes?" Although I'm not even sure if correlation would fit this best. I have to have the math portion of my IA done Wednesday so I'd really appreciate some helpful feedback.

There is a section of the maths IA where you have to specify and use a "maths method/process" to delve into and further progress your research and analysis. I was never very good at maths, let alone debunking raw maths data, so I'm really worried that I might butcher my final score! My maths IA is about how different genres of video-games can affect test scores, from a sample of students who play video-games in their free time. I was hoping to get some help/examples regarding which maths methods to use for analysing statistical data. At this rate, any help is seriously appreciated! (Before anyone wonders why I don't ask my teacher, it's because she isn't a nati…

Hey everyone! As a current Math Studies SL student, and a TI-Nspire owner I would truly like to maximize the calculator and learn (to the best of my ability) how to use it to its fullest. I looked up videos online, but they truly didn't flesh out as much as I desired them to. If you have any recommendations or tips, please post them below to help an aspiring IB student haha! Thanks!

I'm considering taking maths studies next year, because Maths really hurts my brain although I am able to score well, I do not enjoy it one bit. I am not pursuing a degree with anything to do with Mathematics, so I feel like this will be right for me and I will have time to focus on on my other subjects. However, I've heard a lot of negative things about maths studies, people are telling me that although I am pursuing a degree without mathematics, it will hinder my application to universities. How much truth is there in this? My current subject choices are: English A Literature HL Japanese A Literature HL Visual Arts HL Psychology SL Biology…

I am doing my Math studies IA on the relationship between two variables and I have a moderate positive correlation, but after I did my chi-square test my chi-square value was smaller than my critical value, where I have to reject the alternative hypothesis which concludes that the variables are independent of each other. Is this possible or am I wrong?

I´m almost done with my IA for math studies and I´ve got for Tables with 82 rows each. I put them in the appendix since they take up a lot of space. My math teacher says it´s fine that way but I´m still not sure and scared that the examiner will ignore all my data because they exceed the page count. My project is roughly 10 pages and another 7 for the tables. Thanks for your time.

Guys, My maths studies IA went very bad, my teacher graded it with a 9/20... this is not good at all, because I was aiming to get a 7 in Math Studies in the end, and now I am very likely not to get it, right? I mean I lost 11% of my grade, so is it possible to still get a 7 in the end? It seems pretty obvious to me that mathematically it isn't, but a friend of mine who also was striving for the 7 had a 6/20 in his IA and says it is very possible that he ll attain the 7, and also I dont really know the boundaries of the subject but they would have to be very low ahah, like a 7 would correspond to a 72% for example... could you elucidate me on this matter? Cheers,…

Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. For the last two years we have not had a good teacher, and unfortunately this may affect my finals because I am behind in some topics. Therefore, I would like to ask if you guys know any study guide that cover the 7 chapters of Maths Studies, or any advice that you can give me to do well in the upcoming exams. I am really worried.
