    Phase 2: Collection of data



    Brief summary
    On 17/06/08, on Tuesday of week 10,
    armed with our BRAUN tympanic thermometer,
    fox sweets, the table to collect data;
    we went around in NYP library, looking for subjects.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Raw Data collected


    How was the sampling taken?
    • Simple Random Sampling
    • We managed to have a sample of 20 girls & 10 guys

    Environment?
    • Air-conditioned place

    What did we do to ensure consistency when sampling?
    • The same person took the tympanic temperature [Girls - Li lin, Guys - Marco]
    • The same type of tympanic thermometer was used.
    Roles
    Taking of tympanic temperature:Marco Aizawa, Li lin
    Photographer: Bernadette
    Writing of data: Asyiqin, Xin Xin


    here it goes! =)















    Most importantly, we had great fun collecting the samples together!!!
    We would like to reach out to the sporting schoolmates and say
    A very BIG thank you!
    (^^!)


    **Watch out for phase3, coming soon =p

    Phase 1: Planning

    Objective of the project
    To apply what we have learnt in statistics
    To obtain raw data and analyze them

    Purpose of study
    To find out whether the positioning of the head when taking tympanic temperature have an impact on the readings

    Null hypothesis
    There is no relationship between the tympanic temperature taken when the head is 90˚ and 45˚ taken on the right ear.

    Hypothesis
    There is a positive relationship between the tympanic temperatures taken when head is 90˚ and 45˚ taken on the right ear.

    Independent variables
    Positioning of the head

    Dependent variables
    Reading of tympanic temperature

    Extraneous variables

    • Exercise
    • Strength of how the person turn
    • Hot or cold drink
    • Environment temperature

    Conceptionalization
    Tympanic temperature: body temperature taken from the ear

    Operationalization

    • Temperatures are taken by tympanic thermometer(BRAUN).
    • One temperature is taken when the head is 90˚, the other one is taken when the head is 45˚ turning to the left.
    • Both temperatures are taken 2 times on the right ear.
