Coasts 3 - Results Flashcards
What is a weakness of using a chloropleth map to show your results?
They exaggerate differences between areas, they don’t show variations within an area, so they may hide pockets of data.
Why is a dispersion diagram a useful way to show data scores?
It shows the spread of data so it is easy to see patterns in the data.
Explain how theories helped you analyse your results.
Your hypothesis related to the population and the land value of the area.
What would you include in a diagram if presenting your results?
Clearly labelled with scale and axes, annotations explain why the method is appropriate, they link to the enquiry question and show the impact of the results clearly.
What did our results tell us?
Proved to be inconclusive due to the validity of the data.
Which of your results are quantitative (numbers) and which are qualitative (words)?
Quantitative (numbers) = EQS,
Qualitative (words) = Description of sea defences
Why would we need to know whether the results are based on discrete or continuous data?
It helps us to decide which type of graph to use to display that data. Bar charts are best for discrete and line graphs are best for continuous.
What should you include in your diagram when displaying your results?
Clearly labelled with scale and axes, annotations explain why the method is appropriate, they link to the enquiry question and show the impact of the results clearly.
