Hi, So I'm doing my Maths IA on the relationship between the amount of sleep a student gets and their grades. I've collected data for students between the ages of 14 and 18 but I'm not sure whether to go ahead with my investigation with the data consolidated or actually take into consideration the age groups. If I do treat each age group separately, how should I do it? I'm a bit lost. Thanks

So im doing my math ia on the relationship between gender and academic achievement and im stuck for another sophisticated process (ive done chi sq, standard dev, box and whisker - mean, median, IQR, scatter plot) but now i cant do correlation/pearsons because my data sets (median scores, scores over 50 and number of studies taken) are basically set up like: Girls schools median scores School 1 = 60% School 2= 40% school 3 = 70% School 4 = 89& and another column with boys schools median scores in the same way Boys schools median scores School 1 = 68% School 2= 90% school 3 = 30% School 4 = 70% So, i cant really do a correlation between the variables can i? I was wond…

Hey, so i'm thinking about doing my IA on some stuff related to superheroes, I was thinking maybe how much spiderweb is needed to carry a human, how long batmans cape have to be to have the needed wingspan to carry his weight, maybe to some math about angle and length when jumping from one building to another. I was also thinking about some ratio stuff like is the hulk 3 times stronger than normal humans and flash 3 timer faster so this means all superhumans have 3 times the normal humans ability. I was also thinking maybe to look at the math related to boomerangs (because batman uses his batarangs) but my teacher said this probably would be too difficult.. Just want your…

My Math Studies IA is due in next month and I've beeing changing my topic constantly but I think i've got an okay one Im going to stick to now: What is the relationship between civilian deaths and the total population of a country in World War 2? I know it's a bit simple and it's about history but I'll still be doing math calculations for it and Im not so good with math so that's why Im doing something so basic but is it okay though?

I'm doing my Math internal for Studies atm, and im currently on holidays so its a bit hard to consult my teacher. Was just wondering if anyone knew what the protocol was for calculations in the internal - must they all be manual? Mine is statistics based. Can we do all calculations on a calc, or better yet are we able to do our calculations solely on microsoft excel, in which case, screen shots would be given. Or what? im a bit lost in that regard, what should or shouldnt be done. thanks!

So for my math IA I'm testing elementary children doing the typical ''small cookie now, big cookie later''. Basically I'll sit them in a room and tell them that they can either have a small cookie at the beginning of the test, or wait 2-5 mintues and have a bigger cookie then. The problem is that I'm confused about what maths I should use... Please help me :3

These are my IB subjects for next school year: Eng Lit/A1 HL Spanish HL Art HL Physics SL Math Methods/Studies SL? I really want to do Architecture in university, but I'm not sure between Math Methods and Studies. Given that my foundation in Math is not as solid, I'm hesitant towards Methods but I might just fail that class. On the other hand I did Math Studies in 10th grade and got an A-, but barely passed standards.... What IB Math subject is more acceptable, especially if I want to do something along Architecture/Interior design course? Is it really better to do good in Math Studies (like get a 6+) or do Math Methods and get 4 or 5? Thank you for your help!

HI everyone, Is it true that maths studies ia must have data collection?? I have seen many projects that don't have data and simply algebra and calculus and have got very high marks? My teacher said that you must have data collection but im trying to explain to her that you don't need data collection. So what do you guys think? My topic has no data collection, I really need help. Thanks, (NEED URGENT REPLY)

Would love some detailed guidance. I've decided (teacher decided, rather) to do my IA on correlation between cycling times and swimming times of athletes. I haven't got an actual research question as my teacher believes this can be done at the end. What he wants me to complete is my data collating. I know I will need simple maths processing such as graphs, bar charts, histograms, scatter graphs, box plots etc..but what else can I include that will be specific to my topic? From the littlest calculation to the biggest- inform me pls. Most importantly, I have no idea how to do my chi-squared. Like I have a 100 male athletes so how will I put the actual and expected values i…

My school is new in IB so my math studies teacher doesn't know to well all the procedure and how IB works... I have been doing a lot of research but I'm still confused. It would be amazing if someone could help me or tell me if it's okay to choose for my topic "exist a correlation between the number of concerts of 20 bands and the sell of the discs?"

Hi! I just checked an old Math Studies test and there they tell me, at the first question, to find the Standard Deviation... However, the question is only worth one point which for some reason got me to think if the effort I would have put into it really would have been worth it, and I thought, perhaps there is a quicker way to gain Standard Deviation than I know of? Because the way I do it is tedious. That's why I ask you, is there a quick way of finding a Standard Deviation?

I was looking for applying at AUC (Amsterdam University College) as it turns out you cannot major in social sciences without having taken math standard level. It's almost been a year since I started IB, do you think it is possible to change from studies to standard? It probably needs a lot of work, but could it actually happen? Or should I try contacting the university and ask them about applying with my math studies score?

Hi...really in need of some help. We just got a checklist for our Maths IA. I've chosen for mine to be on the relationship between gender and olympic qualifying swimming times. I have the data of male and female swimmers and their qualifying times, but I don't know where to go from here. For example, what mathematical processes will put me in the top band 17-20? What data will I need to collect: ie. standard deviation, scatter graph, mean, box plots, chi-squared etc.

Okay, so on the May 2010 paper, TZ1 there is a question on mapping, it is towards the end. The question gives the domain and range, and it asks to find 2 equations, relating to the domain and range. Normally this would be done using the LinReg APP on the Texas calculator, but the question asks for it the quadratic form. Any one know how to do this?

For my math ia on statistics, i have done these mathematical processes so far: scatter plots frequency chart, line of regression, r value. I asked my math teacher if I have done enough math processes and he says I have... but I really don't trust him because I find him very.... incompetent. So i'm asking if i should maybe do pearson's/chi-squared/any other calculations. I don't want to do more calculations than needed in order to avoid mistakes. Thanks in advance :*

So I do math studies and my predicted grade is 4 ( don't judge me) and the university I want (Kingston uni) required math SL 4 points as international law requirement. Is Math Studies like Math SL? I know they are different difficulty, I mean if I do math studies and get 4 points will it be same as math SL? Will it fulfill the requirement of the university?

My IA needs to be a correlation of <.9 (equal to or greater then .9) negative or positive. It has to be linear, it cannot curve. I have been trying different topics like the correlation b/w gonorrhea and low weight births and others using statehealthfacts.org but I have yet to find a suitable topic because of the graph curving etc. I realize I need to find me own topic but if anyone has suggestions as to some things that might have that kind of correlation. All help is appreciated! Thank you!
