Introduction

The hypothesis is that houses in Jesmond are more expensive than houses in Byker.

Write a paragraph giving some background about Jesmond. (Up to 200 words)

Write a paragraph giving some background about Byker. (Up to 200 words)

Methodology

How did you collect your data? E.g. websites (say which one/s)

How did you choose your samples? E.g. systematic sampling selecting every 10th value

How did you organise/analyse your data?

Results & Discussion

Longest section

Your data for both areas….

e.g.

Street	Type	Price
Bayswater Road	Flat	£145000
Tavistock Road	Flat	£148000
St George’s Terrace	Terraced	£200000

(30 houses for each area)

Then your Byker data

You should include at least 3 different types of graphs.

These could be

· Bar charts (e.g. types of houses)

· Pie charts

· Histograms (of prices)

· Box plots (of prices)

· Scatter diagrams (e.g looking at correlation between number of bedrooms and price)

Each graph should include comments which interpret the graph. What does it show?

You can see some examples on the next few pages.

Types of houses in each area

e.g Types of Houses in Jesmond

Flat	15
Detached	4
Semi-detached	8
Terraced	22
Bungalow	1

Figure 1 : Pie Chart to show types of houses in Jesmond (or bar chart)

Do the same for Byker

Write a comment

e.g. The pie charts show the proportion of types of houses in each area. It was decided to take similar proportions from each area….

….Jesmond has a higher proportion of ….than…

Histograms to show house prices in each area

Frequency

Price (£)

Do a histogram for each area and write a comment

Box Plots

Price (£)

Jesmond

Byker

Comment on the average and the spread for each area

Calculation of Averages and Spread

For each area calculate mean, median and mode (use Excel)

Show these results e.g.

	Jesmond	Byker
Mean
Median
Mode

Comment on what this shows

Now calculate standard deviation for each area

Comment on what this shows (spread)

Conclusion

State whether your hypothesis is supported

Summarise your results with a few examples….
