H.W 2.2 Does The Lochness Monster real?

Does Neisse Exist?

Well, I think is unsolved.

According to Nessieland (http://www.loch-ness-monster-nessieland.com/), it is awaiting evidence of the Neisse. It has lots of information that they heard the local people spotted the tail or the body of the monster. They used a special device to track the Neisse’s breathing. It was called the Hydrophone system.  They also used sonar devices. Nothing was found. But you can’t really prove something doesn’t exist. They still believe it exists.

                                        

However, scientists claim that it doesn’t exist because BBC sent teams down the lake and searched for it and guess what? Nothing.   (news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3096839.stm)  BBC researched the lake for their species. They searched coast by coast but nothing was found and saw no sign of the monster.

Discovery Channel (dsc.discovery.com/news/afp/20030728/nessie/.htlm) was also involved with the investigation and helped BBC to track down the Neisse and the same thing happened, nothing was found. They went to the bottom of the lake and still nothing was found. There was a large reading on the sonar but it wasn’t.

MY OPINION: I believe it is not true because they did an excellent search in the lake and those two parties are one of the largest media in the world. Their news is trustworthy and it makes sense. Until a skeleton or body is found, we have no evidence that Loch Ness really exist.       

Note: The Nessie Website Changed, so i don't know where the real infromation is.                                                   

Case Study 4, Data Handling

1)     How could Mussie and Elli find out whether older people do more for charity than younger people?

They can do street interview, chat online system (e.g. Facebook), asking teacher and classmates at school, interview old age home, etc.

2)     Why does Mussie think that these data prove him? Why might Ellie think that these data do not him right?

For Ellie answer is that the information might be not true.

For Mussie answer is that the data has shown him the acceptable answer.

3)     What question should they ask?

·        Who are you?

·        How often do you donate money to the charity?

·        What types of charity do you donate to?

·        How much money do you donate to the charity usually?

·        Do you do charity work?

– If yes: How long do you spend time doing in charity events?

4)     How many questionnaires should they hand out? Who do you think should fill in their questionnaire?

I think they should hand out 45 copies first, and if it went out within the first 3 to 4 days. I think the next time they reprint should be 53 copies. Also this questionnaires are every one (but not for the babies, because they will not understand a word if he/she receive the question sheet).

Q5: Which Software could Mussie and Ellie use to put answers into the computer? How can they check that the data are correct? How could they reduce the number of errors in the data? What problems might be if the data if typed incorrectly?

Answer: They could use Excel to put the answers in. They'll check the data before putting it onto the spreadsheet. They restrict the computer to themselves because if the data was typed incorrectly, they might go into the wrong conclusion.

Q6: What is the

best way

for Ellie and Mussie to present the results?

Answer: They can use a Pie Chart to show their results in percentage
