Introduction
We, as a form 5 student taking Additional Mathematics are required to carry out a
project work while we are in form 5. This year, the Curriculum Development
Division, Ministry of Education has prepare a task for us. We are to complete one
task that have been given by us from our teacher. This project must be done
individually and must be completed within the time period given. During the
period while I am doing this project and after completion of this Additional
Mathematics project, I am able to gain valuable experience that cannot be bought
and also able to:

-Apple and adapt a variety of problem solving strategies to solve routine and non-
routine problems.
-Experience classroom environments which are challenging, interesting and
meaningful and hence improve our knowledge and also thinking skills.
-Experience classroom environments where knowledge and skills are applied in
meaningful ways in solving real-life problems.
-Experience classroom environments where expressing ones mathematical
thinking, reasoning and communication are highly recommended and encouraged.
-Experience classroom environments that stimulates and enhances effective
learning and help to focus in class.
-Acquire effective mathematical communication through oral and writing, and able
to use the language of mathematics to express mathematical ideas correctly and
with precise.
-Enhance acquisition of mathematical knowledge and skills through problem
solving in ways that helps to increase the interest and also the confidence when
solving problems.
-Prepare ourselves for the demand of our future undertaking and in workplace.
-Realize that mathematics is an important and powerful tool in solving real-life
problems and hence develop positive attitude towards mathematics.
-Train ourselves not only to be an independent learners but also to learn how to
collaborate, to cooperate, and to share knowledge in a healthy environment.
-Use technology especially the ICT in an effectively and also appropriate way.
-Train ourselves in learning how to appreciate the intrinsic values of mathematics
and to become more creative and innovative.
-Help us to realize the importance and the beauty of mathematics no only in
solving problems but also in our daily life.


Appreciation


First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude and my thanks to
my Additional Mathematics teacher, Madam Pui Hui Foung as she had given us
countless important guidance and commitment during this project work. She has
been a very supportive figure to us throughout the whole project.

Next, I would like to express my thank to my school for giving us this
chance to do this Additional Mathematics project work.

Not forgetting our beloved parents who provided everything in this project
work, suck as money, internet, reference books, computer and so on. They
contribute their golden time and spirit on sharing their experience with us. Their
support raise the spirit hidden in me to do this project smoothly and successfully.

Last but no least, I would like to express my thankfulness to my teacher and
friend again for helping me throughout this project work. Without their help, I may
not done this project smoothly.


















A brief history of data analysis
Data analysis is a practice in which raw data is ordered and organized so that useful
information can be extracted from it. The process of organizing and thinking about data is
key to understanding what the data does and does not contain. There are variety of ways
in which people can approach data analysis , and its notoriously easy to manipulate data
during the analysis phase to push certain conclusion or agendas. For this reason, it is
important to pay attention when data analysis is presented , and to think critically about
the data and the conclusions which were drawn.
Raw data can take a variety of forms, including measurements, survey responses,
and observation. In this raw form, this information can be incredibly useful, but also
overwhelming. Over the course of the data analysis process, the raw data is ordered in a
way which will be useful. For example, survey results may be tallied, so that people can
see at a glance how many people answered the survey, and how people responded to
specific questions.
In the course of organizing the data, the trends often emerge, and these trends can
be highlighted in the write-up of the data to ensure that readers take note. In a casual
survey of ice cream preferences, for example, more women than men might express a
fondness for chocolate, and this could be a point of interest for the researcher. Modeling
the data with the use of mathematics and other tools can sometimes exaggerate such
points of interest in the data, making them easier for the researcher to see.
Charts, graphs, and textual write-ups of data are all forms of data analysis. These
methods are designed to refine and distill the data so that readers can glean interesting
information without needing to sort through all of the data on their own.
summarizing data is often critical to supporting arguments made with that data, as is
presenting the data in a clear and understandable way. The raw data may also be included
in the form of an appendix so that people can look up specifics for themselves.
When people encounter summarized data and conclusions, they should view them
critically. Asking where the data is from is important, as is asking about the sampling
method used to collect the data, and the size of sample. If the source of the data appears
to have a conflict of interest with the type of data being gathered this can call the results
into question. Likewise data gathered from a small sample or a sample which is not truly
random may be questionable utility. Reputable researchers will always provide
information about the data gathering techniques used, the source of funding, and the point
of the data collection in the beginning of the analysis so that readers can think about this
information while they review the analysis.















PART 1
















Part 1:The importance of data analysis in everyday life

The importance of data analysis is the lifeline of any business. Whether one wants
to arrive at some marketing decisions or fine-tune new product launch strategy,
data analysis is the key to all the problems.

Data analysis can offer the following benefits:
-Structuring the findings from survey research or other means of data collection
-Acquiring meaningful insights from the dataset
-Basing critical decisions from the findings
-Ruling out human bias through proper statistical treatment

Example of data analysis:


This is an example of data analysis of loan balance



Mean

Mean is define as sum of all values of data divided by the number of data.



Meanwhile for mean of grouped data, the mean can be find in this following formula.


Mode
Mode is the value that occurs the most often in a set of data or with the highest
frequency.

We can determine the modal class from a histogram graph to find the mode of the
grouped data. The mode of the class can be represent by the tallest bar in the graph.


Median
Median is the centre value of a set of data after the data are arranged in ascending or
descending order.
Median can be obtain through the this formula.

Range
Range can be find through the differences of largest value of data and the smallest value
of data.
Range = Largest value of data smallest value of data

Inter-quartile range

The inter-quartile range could be determine by the difference of third quartile and the
first quartile. The inter-quartile range could be found by an ungrouped data in arrange
order.
The first quartile, Q
1 ,
is a value that divides the values of data that are less than the
median into two equal parts.
The second quartile, Q
2 ,
is a value that divides the set of data into two equal parts.
The third quartile, Q
3 ,
is the value that divides the values of data that are greater than the
median into two equal parts.

The best to represent measure of central tendency for the class mathematics performance
score is MEAN. This is because It can be used with both discrete and continuous data,
although its use is most often with continuous data. The mean is equal to the sum of all the
values in the data set divided by the number of values in the data set.

The advantages of using standard deviation as compared
with inter-quartile in representing the data is that :

Standard deviation makes use of all data to calculate the spread of data from average
while range only uses two data which is the largest value data and the smallest value data,
so standard deviation is a more accurate measure.

In addition, standard deviation measures the spread of data from the MEAN while range
measures only the two extreme values which is the difference between the largest value
and smallest value data.
Meanwhile for the inter-quartile range are much less sensitive to changes in the data than
the standard deviation. If a single value changes then the standard deviation, by
definition, will also change.

Hence the standard deviation is a more powerful summary measure as it makes more
comprehensive use of the entire dataset.

Based on the data that I have collected, I found out that the result in first trial
examination is better than the first semester. Because of the mode ,the mean, the
median, the inter-quartile range and the standard deviation for the first trial
examination is higher than the first semester.


















Further Exploration:

Based on the interview that I had made, there are few learning strategies that had
been taken by my classmates and also my schoolmates in pursuit of excellence:
(I)Make a timetable
(II)Know how to use the time wisely
(III)Do more exercise to improve skill
(IV)Help each other because it help us to share knowledge
(V)Ask around your classmate or teacher if we do not understand the question
(VI)Focus in class














Conclusion:

After doing this Additional Mathematics project, I realize that Additional
Mathematics is very important in daily life.
About this project, overall, its quite joyful and interesting because I need to plan it
carefully and with systematic because it is about my future. In fact, the further
exploration is a good session because it can open my mind and know more about
the importance of data analysis and statistic in daily life.













Reflections:

From this project, I learnt the importance of perseverance as time had been
invested to ensure the completion and excellence of this project. Also, I learnt to be
thankful and appreciative. This is because, I am able to apply my mathematical
knowledge in daily life and appreciate the beauty of mathematics. All and all, I
have spent countless hours doing this project. I realize that this subject is a
compulsory subject to me. Without it, I could not fulfill my big dreams and wishes.
