| Problem:
What are my chances gitting attacked by a Opossum compared to a Shark?
Purpose:
The
purpose of this lab is to determine how safe it is to go into the ocean
compared to other events.
Hypothesis:
I
think that you are 11 times more likely to be attacked by a Shark than
a Opossum because I have never heard of an Opossum attacking someone, and
I have heard of a Shark attacking someone.
Procedure:
Ms.
Barnett gave me a sheet with data on Shark attacks and Opossum attacks.
I looked at the data and I graphed this information.
Data
Collection:
|
Animal
|
Number of Attacks
|
|
Opossum
|
1
|
|
Shark
|
12
|
Analysis:
Opossum
vs. Shark:

Conclusion:
My
Hypothesis was right and wrong. You ARE more likely to get bitten by a
Shark only by 12 times instead of 11 times. Our data showed 12 Shark Attacks
and only 1 Opossum attack. |
