Physical Activity and Screen Time

Physical Activity and Screen Time

WALT carry out a statistical investigation following the
statistical inquiry cycle.

Problem

Billie and myself (Lily) wondered how many students in room 8 balance their screen
time with physical activity. We surveyed 5 girl year eights and 5 boy year eights so we
would be unbiased.

Plan

billie and myself used google forms to plan our investigation. Something I struggled
with was when we had to make a question go to another page. I also struggled with
the layout because I was new to google forms.

Analysis

Data

From the 20 people we surveyed 90% of them do balance the screen times and
10% don't. Of the people who said they didn't balance the screen time with physical
activity here are some of the reasons why they didn't. They don't play any sport or
do any outdoor activity, they can't be bothered and they don't do as much sport as
gaming.  Our data shows that  90% of the people we surveyed balance their screen
time by going outside sports etc…

From the 10% that said they don't balance their screen time with physical activity ,
we asked  some way they could keep it balanced and they said they could do more
sport and someone doesn't know what he could do.

One shows that people balance their physical activity with screen time by going
outside and having restricted time on their devices.  

Conclusion

Billie was a little bit unhappy with the results because I feel that the people
we surveyed may have been dishonest. My recommendation for the parents/caregivers
of the people that were surveyed with the answer of not balancing screen time would
be to try to encourage them to go outside or to play some sport.
