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.
