Math Assesment (Full Marks)
IA Math Assessment The Olympic games is a worldwide event held once every four years, the modern Olympics started at around the 19th century and has been going on ever since. The Olympic games however were not held in the years 1940 and 1944 due to the First World War. In this assessment our aim is to consider the winning height for the men’s high jump in the Olympic games and to derive a function to properly model the given data.
Year | Height | 1932 | 197 | 1936 | 203 | 1948 | 198 | 1952 | 204 | 1956 | 212 | 1960 | 216 | 1964 | 218 | 1968 | 224 | 1972 | 223 | 1976 | 225 | 1980 | 236 |
Some data in our findings will be excludable because this is a real life situation so any negative values will be excluded because you simply could not high jump or even jump a negative height because it is run real and very high numbers are excluded, only realistic positive numbers will be accepted in our results and our findings in this assessment.
This is a table of the data obtained in the Olympic games in men’s high jump from 1932-1980 excluding 1940 and 1944 because the Olympic games were not held on those years.
This graph shows us the heights that the athletes had jumped during the Olympic games; it shows how the variations throughout the years and how it has a significant increase year by year throughout the heights. The graph looks like it is continually increasing each four years and one of the reasons there was a significant increase is because a new jump was formed in the 1980 Olympic games.
Where the heights of the athletes are represented by the x-axis and the year in which the Olympic games had taken place is represented by the y-axis.
We could also take the starting year we measured the data in to be 0 meaning that 1932=0
Judging by the looks of the graph we could exclude the linear function because it will clearly not model the graph but through my understanding of what graphs look like, I can state that this graph
