Hello! I'm doing my Math IA and I don't know how to present my standard deviation calculations in the report. I know I have to show an example of my calculations, but I'm not sure how to do this. I have 100 data points, and I'm not keen on calculating it all by hand. What would be the best way to do this? Any advice would be very appreciated! /Polly

Hi there, I am currently working on my Mathematical Studies IA that l have to get done before the school term commences and l am experiencing a lot of difficulty. For my IA, l am looking at the potential correlation between Secondary School Gross Enrollment Ratio (for both male and female) and a country's GDP (Gross Domestic product - basically how much a country earns/how rich they are). I will be doing this for my Pearson's Correlation Coefficient. For my chi squared test of independence, l will be looking at Unemployment Rates and again, GDP. I have gotten my data from the world book (a resource that offers all this statistical data for each country). In total, l …

Basically what my title asks. Unfortunately my data won't work with a chi squared test, so I am using a trapezoidal summation (which basically is an approximation of an integral) for some of my data to calculate the average value. Would this approximation, since it represents calculus even though the mathematics is not calculus, work for my higher math process?

I was wondering if anyone can give me ideas as to how to format my math IA. My question is Is There a Relationship Between the Best Picture Award and the Characteristics of the Winners? "Data will be gathered from the International Movie Database (IMDb), Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes, and Box Office Mojo, four popular and widely used online resources on film statistics. I will use IMDb to determine the genres of each of the thirty winners. The frequency of each genre will be found and recorded, as this shows whether or not the Academy prefers a certain genre. The average ratings will be calculated by transferring all ratings to an equal scale then calculating the mean …

Hello everyone, I have a fairly simple (and maybe a bit dumb) question: For your Math Studies IA, are you supposed to do all your calculations by hand, or can you use Excel/calculators? My teacher said something about doing everything by hand, but that seems like too much work. I appreciate any help! /PL

Hi! IA season has started and it seems like a lot of people have already asked here for people to fill in their survey :') So here's one more (sorry). For my IA I'm investigating the correlation between T.o.K. (final) grades, and Extended Essay grades, so the survey only consists of 2 questions. If you have time and wouldn't mind filling in (yet another) survey, I'd be very grateful! The survey is anonymous, of course! Thank you in advance! https://nl.surveymonkey.com/r/CQSVF99

Hi, I am doing my IA on probability and I am having a tough time with this Chi-squared golf test. I was told to use it as it works better for random selection things. I have read through all kinds of documents and I have managed to do all the normal Chi-Squared things but the Golf Test is still very confusing. What do I have to differently for it?? How does it work?

Hi Guys! I am comparing Life Expectancy and GDP for my IA, and the problem is, that the data does not really look linear, but logarithmic. I get a strong moderate r value, but the teacher says since the data is not linear, I need to find another function. Anyone had this problem before and has a solution and some relevant math processes for this data? Any help is much appreciated

Hello, I'm writing a simple math paper for my Math Studies class and I'm in need for some data, I need 100 pieces of data at least.

Hey guys, Ok so 2 other people from my class have chosen the same topic as me for the maths IA, we're all doing it on the Olympics and the question is VERY similar. I'm so stressed right now because I have submitted my final draft to my teacher and he told me to change it, COMPLETELY. He wants it by monday but I also have my ee and other stuff to do so I have no idea what to do right now. I thought of another topic like right now, I'm thinking of comparing the literacy rates in different countries but I have no idea where I'm going with that. I'm soooo stressed, someone please help!!!!

Hey guys! So I just had my mock exam (May 2016) on maths studies paper 2 and I was really confused with the venn diagram question. If 47 people used airplanes, then how did 30 use airplanes and trains and 35 people use airplanes and buses? (apart from the 20 who use the three types of transport)? This makes no sense to me as that's more than 47... Can anyone please explain me this question? I am afraid of getting something similar on my real exam and be as lost as today.
