Your project must be presented as a booklet or a poster. There are some marks for presentation but most is for content. The project must contain:

- Intro - explaining the projects content.
- Question One 

• The question written out.
• One or two graphs.
• Description of the graphs - focus on centre, spread and shape.
• Statistics - mean, median, mode, range for each group.
• Description of statistics (can be combined with description of graphs).

 - Question Two

• The question written out.
• One or two graphs.
• Description of graphs - just needs to explain what the graphs shows you. 

- Question Three (all OPTIONAL, but the more you do the higher your potential grade)

• The question written out.
• One or two graphs.
• Description of the graphs - focus on centre, spread and shape.
  
• Statistics - mean, median, mode, range for each group.
• Description of statistics (can be combined with description of graphs).

 - Conclusion - answering all of the questions you investigated and summarising your findings.

Note that in total you must have three graphs including:

• One back-to-back stem and leaf graph.
• One histogram or bar graph.
• One other graph e.g. frequency tabl, pie graph, strip graph, dot plot.

You will each be given an overall grade based on the quality of your project and the amount you contributed.
