Purpose The purpose of this project is to determine, who is better at estimating the unknown, males or females?

Hypothesis We hypothesize that females are better

estimators than males! We believe this because boys always play around and don’t pay attention. They always say they are smarter than girls. They’re not aware of paying attention to things around them!

Directions 1. Get medium size clear glass jar. 2. Count and record of cubes. Keep count

hidden from test estimators. 3. Place cubes in clear jar. 4. Have 10 girls and 10 boys estimate the

number of cubes. Record estimates. 5. Repeat steps 1-4 with paper clips. 6. Repeat steps 1-4 with crayons. 7. Repeat steps 1-4 with pencils. 8. Repeat steps 1-4 with marbles.

CONCLUSION Our hypothesize was correct. Females are

better estimators than males. The average difference between the actual and the estimate for males average was 32.18 and for females 31.24. If we wanted to try this investigation again, we would change the age of the estimators. It would be interesting if we got the same results.
