AllTimeLow Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Our teacher recently told us about the IA, rubric, information, etc. We have to submit our statement of task but I really have no idea what to focus my IA on. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3athlig3r Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Wow, he only told you about it now and your exams are this May?You can do it on statistics: find a relationship between two things, could be anything like: hours of sport played compared to the marks achieved in school. etc. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake Glau Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 The whole point of the math studies IA is determine correlations between two variables. Statistics isn't really needed for it. Correlation can be tested in a lot of ways through chi-squared testing, pearson's coefficients, lines of best fit, etc. The IA can focus on almost anything. Pick two variables you think are related making your X variable the one affecting your Y variable of course and then you can run mathematical tests and other calculation and based off the values you obtain you can conclude whether or not your original hypothesis of relationship was supported or refuted.
