AS Geography Fieldwork Summary Hypothesis - Our hypothesis for this investigation was the Bradshaw’s Model is an accurate reflection of downstream variation in a number of channel parameters. On the right is an image of the Bradshaw Model. This is relevant to our river studies as the river we visited was a natural river in its middle course. Before we started the investigation I expected that the river would be quite deep due to the heavy rainfall we had before we went, meaning that it would be

little time to understand the histogram. 2.0 When should a person use a Histogram? When a person is uncertain what to do with a large set of measurements offered in a table, a person can use a histogram to categorize and show the data in a more user friendly layout. A histogram will make it simple to see wherever the bulk of values fall in a measurement scale and how much difference there is. 2.1 Summarize large data sets graphically: When summarizing of large data sheets is required. 2.2 Compare

Introduction Lever is a very simple device that can measure the mass of an object. In this experiment, we are going to make a lever that consists of ruler, 50 gram weight and string that could measure the mass of a battery. We will get the mass by using the formula of moment (moment = distance×force) and based on the data that we obtain from the experiment. Moment is a force that can make object turn around if there is a pivot, for example the see-saw. Objective * To understand the

stability Classical Reliability Theory * By Charles Spearman (1904) * Also called the Theory of true and error scores * It assumed that a person’s observed score on a test is composed of a “true” score plus some unsystematic error of measurement * TRUE SCORE – the average of the scores a person would obtain if he/she took the test an infinite number of times 2 Factors that influence test scores: * 1. Factors that contribute to consistency - consist of those stable attributes of
