Vicks Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I'm in serious trouble; I have no idea what to do for my math project!I was thinking of maybe doing something with population growth, but then I wouldn't know what math to apply to it and how to make it a good project. Has anyone done something with population growth before?I would really really appreciate some help! Thanks so much. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChocolateDrop Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 The population trends of china or Modelling population growth in china is one of the SL Maths IAs, I haven't done this portfolio before, but this thread may help you: If you're doing the maths exploration, then I suggest you try make your project distinctly different from the china population growth one, by focusing on something completely different. Just use the Chinese population one as a reference or guideline of how you can include mathematics in a population growth project. Remember your project doesn't have to be human population. It can be on any type of population, like animal and plant populations. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Brandén Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 go online to gapminder.org and find your data theredo female fertility rates versus female literacy rates and you will find that there is a strong correlation>use chi-square testlinear regressionpearsons correlation coefficient i used those three and showed how to completely do the calculations from scratch which will give good marksyou will plot your data in a graph x vs. y and then add a linear graph, then by clicking the graph you will receive the linear regression equation and the R^2 value, then by comparing this to your calculated values and doing a discussion on that is great Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
