Do males and females have different abilities when estimating size?
Abstract:
This survey is to research for men and women different abilities of estimating size. The measurements were taken from a group of 20 males and females with similar ages. My hypothesis was that women’s ability of estimating objects is better than men, and the result of the experiment confirmed my hypothesis, although not all women estimated better than men. I will keep the same attitude to avoid visual error. It will help improving my investigation and get the better information. In the end, I will make a conclusion of my experiment.
Introduction: This experiment is about whether males and females have different abilities when estimating size. My hypothesis is that females can estimate better than males. In order to prove this hypothesis, we let different pairs of boys and girls to estimate several objects.
Research Methodology: We let 10 pairs of students to reckon 6 objects. The 6 objects are 10 centimeters cup, 13 centimeters cell phone, 29.5 centimeters book, a 182 centimeters male student, a 163 centimeters female students and a 78 centimeters table. Ten pairs of students were standing 1 meter away from the objects, estimated the sizes and yelled the data while we recording them. The control factors are the sizes of 6 objects and variable factors are estimations of students.
Research Results: I figure out the average data of each objects’ estimations. For the 10 centimeters cup, the average data of male is 12.6 centimeters and 13.9 centimeters for female. For the 13 centimeters cell phone, the average data of male is 13.4 centimeters and 14.4 centimeters for female. For the 29.5 centimeters book, the average data of male is 32.5 centimeters and 30.9 centimeters for female. As for the 182 centimeters person, the average data of male is 180.1 centimeters and 181.6 centimeters for female. The average data of male is 162.1 centimeters and 163.6 centimeters for female
