Introduction:
I will be doing an experiment to investigate whether it is true or not that children's shoes sizes really increase as they get older. In order for me to prove this, I need to collect some data and to start with, I have to create a simple and short questionnaire and I will ask some of my friends and family who has children and could help me with this experiment by completing the questionnaire. My objective is to find out at the end of this investigation whether my experiment on children's shoe sizes is true or not true.
Aim:
The aim of the experiment is to find out if the children's shoe sizes get bigger as they get older. I want to know the relationship between the age of a person and their shoes size.
Hypothesis:
As children get older their shoes size increases.
Null Hypothesis:
As children get older their shoes size does not increase.
Method:
Design:
I made a short and simple questionnaire that I can send through online (social network) to my friends and family. I prefer this kind of method because I find it to be more accurate rather than just observing or give an approximation into a child's shoes size. Before sending the questionnaire to my friends and family, first thing I have done was to explain to them what this questionnaire was all about and why do I need to do this. And I also asked their permission before sending the questionnaire to my prospect participants. (A sample of questionnaire can be found in the appendix section)
Participants:
I used 30 boys and 30 girls on my research. I have 60 participants altogether. Age ranges from 1 year old up to 10 years old. I preferred to have 3 boys and 3 girls on each age. Because I want to know if there is any difference with gender in terms of shoe sizes and age. Since the method I have use to gather information is in the form of questionnaire, most of the questionnaire had been filled up by their
