STUDY TIME ANALYSIS
BY : MINA KHAIRZADA
Problem : Balancing the hours spent for
studying for four classes.
Hypothesis: I think I spend to many hours
studying for my math and statistics classes and
that leads me to get behind in the other two
classes that have.
Description
For four weeks now I have gathered some
data about how many hours I spend studying
for each class.
 I also have recorded some data about where I
have done all my studying at.

Descriptive statistics involving the mean and standard
deviations of the hours of studying vs. the classes.

Analysis

My findings in my project measure exactly up to
my expectation. I do tend to study more for my
math and statistic classes.
 I found that the variation of study hours for math
and statistics classes is really excessive.
 One factor that contributes to the excessive hours I
spend studying for statistics and math classes is
that I tend to focus on the classes I have the most
interest in and the classes I struggle the most in.
 I also found in my findings that I study at home a
lot vs. the library ,car or other places.
Conclusion/Summary

I believe I should try to study a bit more for
my biology and my political science classes.
I also think it’s better to study in the library
vs. at home because there is less distractions
in the library. Hopefully because of this
project I can figure a way to distribute
more hours for the classes I spend the least
time on.
Quote of the Day!

“My belief, based on experience, is that 99% of
the students who enter engineering have the
brain power to graduate. Those who fail to
graduate because of non-outside forces (eg.
health, finances, personal problems, etc.)
usually do so because of poor strategy,
planning, study habits and methods.”Stated by
professor RosenKrantz.
