reliable
precise
unbiased
how to make it (hoveton) accurate?
CLOSE TO TRUTH
correct equipment
how to make it (hoveton) reliable?
TRUST DATA
repeat with multiple sets
how to make it (hoveton) precise?
using a fine unit of measurement
e.g mm NOT cm
how to make it (hoveton) unbiased?
reduce influence of opinion have it more factual
3 ways of sampling strategies?
.systematic (measuring at regular intervals)
.random (choosing subjects with no particular pattern)
.stratified (following a pattern to allow you to measure a trend)
Hoveton our 4 data collection are?
.traffic count
.noise pollution
.environmental quality survey
.questionnaires
methodology for traffic counting HOVETON
one person have a timer for 5 mins
count traffic from both directions
by category (car, bus..)
methodology for noise pollution HOVETON
use a decibel app
measure 2-3 times at each area for accurate result.
methodology environmental quality survey HOVETON
different locations ask question
methodology questionnaires HOVETON
find locals and politely ask questions on sheet
evaluation
traffic count HOVETON
.automatic traffic count
.accurate data for 3 months
.go different times and days because this affects cars that are around
evaluation
noise pollution HOVETON

hypothesis 1
noise pollution does not vary across hoveton
WRONG
at lowest it was 43dB
at highest was 65dB which is clearly different
hypothesis 2
traffic levels do not vary across Hoveton
WRONG
low of 0.6 cars per minute

businesses found in area
but majority found by the river
therefore they’re not evenly spread
conclusion for the enquiry question.
quality of life does vary to a moderate extent.
shown through rejecting all 4 hypotheses
evaluation
how to improve the investigation?
multiple repeats for more reliability
more precise by using finer measurements
more accurate by using perfect equipment with no faults
results to be collected in an unbiased way
