You should also have:
Frequency table, frequency graph and box and whisker plot for

The Write Up
Many of you have already started this - so you get a head start.
The expectation for this task is that you submit a written report of what you did
throughout this process. This is a little bit like what you will do for your maths studies
project in year two of this course (but without some of the formalities).

Your project write up will include:

An introduction

Explain what you are investigating

Explain what you are trying to find out

Explanation of your method

Summary of your findings

What did you do? Imagine you are explaining the whole process to a maths
studies student who hasnt done this task.
This is where you neatly include all of the maths stuff that you did

Interpretation of results

What can you interpret about the data?

Can you use it to make a better guess?

Which jars do you think people found easier to count?

What do you think about the abilities of maths studies students in guessing
games?
