Hello! My IA topic idea is 'is there a correlation between goals the top 20 Premier League's season 12/13 players scored and their height?' What do you think about it? Is it good? My teacher accepted it, though I would like to hear some other opinion. Cheers, Lena.

I am certainly not the first person to do this and I won't be the last. Even so, if you would be gracious enough to lend a helping hand to a fellow IB sufferer by answering this survey for my IA, you'd have my eternal gratitude It won't take more than three minutes - up to four, tops. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1fGFaaXWTw9hQp7KRuEd_DAsag3wjzSAmmHtl7PeDTd8/viewform

Hi I wanted to make my IA about how economical different 1L carton juices are but to be honest I can hardly find any complex mathematics I could apply in that project. What do you think? Is it a bad idea? Maybe you have any suggestions about how to develop this topic? I would really appreciate your help since we were given practically no instructions or feedback about our topics and I am kind of stuck :/

Hey everyone! My class has just been given an assignment to acquire our IA Topics by Friday. I have an idea, but no concrete question. I want to do something focusing on weight loss. I was thinking of somehow utilizing BMI and BMR. I know what I would do for the simple math processes, but I have no idea what to do for the harder, more complicated processes like the chi-squared test and I'm not sure how to select an actual QUESTION in order to make sure that I can involve these processes....so what do you guys think? Any suggestions/ideas?

Hi everybody, I hope you can help me out of this. Tomorrow I need to write shortly to my teacher what I want to investigate. But before I am doing that I want to know whether my topic is good enough and how it should be obtained. Firstly, I really want to look into bilingualism. I want to see if there is a correlation between being bilingual and have a different background with more than one. However, I am a bit confused how I should obtain the data to show this? My teacher told me that I should use the chi-squared (x^2) test to asses whether or not paired observations, expressed in a two-way table, are independent. I really like that idea, but I just do not how I shoul…

Greetings, I'll keep this brief. I'm sure you all know the drill here. I would be grateful if you took a moment to complete my short survey for my Math Studies IA. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/11cozaPb0GEUBbC7bFiPoAK2Oi7V_A-PwInG8HTVpDF0/viewform As a heads up, this survey requires that you have taken the ACT. The first question asks whether you attend school in the United States. If you don't, but you still have taken the ACT, then please go ahead and select "Yes" for question #1, continue, and type where you are from for question #2 (first question on the second page). Thank you, and good luck to all!

Hello, I have completed my Math IA, I have had feedback that isn't good, my mark is much lower than I would like. The problem is that I have an unusual set of data, I havent got 2 variables that are numerical in value, but instead i have one qualitative and one quantative. I have the correlation of Gender and preference in film genre of which the data I accessed from the internet as a secondary source. I would like to ask for help, I have been told when on another subject not to send any work via the forums, but instead I was wondering if i could either get help via the forum or if i could send my results table to a Moderator and see what they think of my IA or any advice…

Hello, I'm currently doing my IA for Math Studies and in the process of collecting the data. My Math IA is only for IB students so It's a little more difficult to collect sufficient data, so I need as many responses as possible. Those who are IB students either DP1 (otherwise known as Year 12 / Grade 11) or DP2 (otherwise known as Year 13 / Grade 12) are able to complete this survey. Those doing the full IB are able to complete it, but those doing Certificate need to be doing 6 IB courses to be able to do it. It wont take that long please answer truthfully and complete all the answers Thanks a lot to those who help :-) This is the link :https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1…

Hey guys! I need help... For the Math Studies IA in criteria C it says that you need to show at least one calculation of each simple and further process BY HAND. I did the further process (correlation) by hand, but i have 80 samples and showing how to do average and standard deviation for the 80 samples would take up a whole excel page. Do i have to show it? How does it work? Maybe i misunderstood the criteria, please help!

Hello there, thank you so much for clicking this! In my investigation I'm comparing rating for movies on imdb and their budget. I found the top 50 most popular movies on imdb, and the bottom most rated, so I have 50 data points with ratings such as 9.3, 9.2, etc. and 50 data points with ratings like 1.2, 1.3 etc. I have performed my chi squared test, and found they are dependent. However, I can't create a scatter plot for them, as I only have really high ratings and really low ratings (and I can't get any middle ones!) It looks too odd, with all the data grouped on different sides of the graph. As a result, I can't calculate correlation coefficient, or pearsons, or line r…

Ok, so here's the deal. I am a part of a new program at my school, which comprisises of about 15 boys doing the IB Mathematical Studies Course in one year instead of the standard two. Effectively this gets all maths out of the way, and leaves us time to do other subjects in year 12. My problem is that they have basically just thrown our IA deadlines at us, without really taking us through possible topics and having conversations with us about how/what to choose. I am looking along the lines of a footballing topic such as; "Investigating the relationship between the height/weight of a player and the amount of goals per season in European Football" or something like that. …

Okay, so I currently trying to figure out what I should name my topic for my IA. I know what my topic is going to be based on but it's too broad at the moment and I'm trying to dumb it down a little bit. The topic is in sports, and I was going to compare the statics of one football (soccer) league with another. I was going to choose the EPL and then Ligue 1. But I don't know how to make it more simple. Or do you think if I formulate a good question it'll be fine just like this?

Hello!
