Math studies ia confusion about variables

[ibprincess]

Hi

 

So I'm choosing my IA topic at the moment and I was thinking a statistical one about the role of age in the Academy Award for best actor/actress

 

my problem here is what are my variables??

 

IV: age

DV: :'(

 

I was thinking DV could be the frequency that age (or age group) wins but that might be sort of limiting? or if there was a way to make this quantitative, the likeliness a person would win but that's hard to number-refy

 

on second thought maybe I could do the relationship between the age of the winner of best actor/actress and the films rating out of 10? but I would assume that good movies would win more awards so there would be a strong relationship?

 

(ugh hate maths ia and i haven't even started)

 

could someone let me know what you think like should i just scrap everything chose a new topic? thanks!!!!!
