1. WHO IS BETTER AT ESTIMATING THE UNKNOWN MALES OR FEMALES?

2. QUESTION
WHO IS BETTER AT ESTIMATING THE UNKNOWN, MALES OR FEMALES?

3. PURPOSE
THE PURPOSE OF MY INVESTIGATION IS TO DETERMINE WHO IS BETTER AT ESTIMATING THE UNKOWN, MALES OR FEMALES. THIS IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS WHO’S BETTER ESTIMATING THE UNKOWN. YOU DON’T KNOW IF A MALE GETS A CLOSE ANSWER OR IF A FEMALE GETS CLOSER TO THE ANSWER .

4. HYPOTHESIS
I HYPOTHESIS THAT MALES WILL BE BETTER THEN FEMALES AT ESTIMATING THE UNKOWN. I BELIEVE THIS BECAUSE MALES THINK ABOUT THEIR ANSWER MORE THEN ONCE.

5. PROCEDURE

6. MATERIALS
CLEAR JAR
COINS

PENCIL

7. VARIABLES MANIPULATETED: MALES OR FEMALES
RESPONDING: ESTIMATE OF ITEMS IN THE CONTAINER

8. DIRECTIONS
1 GATHER MATERALS. 2 COUNT THE COINS. RECORD. 3 FILL CLEAR JAR WITH COINS. 4 ASK A MALE TO ESTIMATE HOW MANY COINS ARE IN THE CLEAR JAR. RECORD. 5 REPEAT STEP 4 WITH 4 MORE MALES 6 REPEAT STEP 4 WITH 5 FEMALES. 7 REPEAT STEPS 2-6 FOR FOUR MORE TRILS 8 CALCULATE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACTUAL NUMBER OF COINS AND ESTIMATES.

11. Conclusion
My hypothesis was right because the boys got and the girls got The girls guessed high numbers when they need to guess lower numbers, but the boys guessed low close numbers to the answer. That’s how my hypothesis was right.
