Midterm Project

This document presents a research project that examines factors that may impact student test scores. The hypothesis is that the number of hours students watch television each day will negatively affect their math proficiency exam scores, as more television means less time to study. It also hypothesizes that students who receive free lunch, coming from lower-income families, will score lower than students who don't receive free lunch. Additionally, it predicts that girls who watch less television than boys will score higher on math exams.

Abstract When calculating a students test scores there are several factors to consider, so one may figure out why one child may have scored higher or lower than their peers. How much television a student watches has a significant impact on what the student may score on their test. Students who receive free lunch tend to come from lower income families which may cause them to score lower on their test. The sex of a student will also have an impact on how much television they watch throughout the week.

Hypothesis The number of hours a student watches television per day or night will have an effect of their overall math proficiency exam score. The more television a student watches the less time they will have for studying. If a student doesnt study properly, this can cause them to score lower on their test. Students who receive free lunch opposed to those who dont will also have an effect on a students ability to pass score higher on their math proficiency exam. The sex of a student also plays apart in a students test score. Girls who watch less television than boys score higher on their math exam than boys.

Rationale A student who spends more time watching television than studying will score lower on their test than their peers. The more studying a student does the higher they will be able to score. Television takes the students mind off studying which may cause them to fail. Females who spend more time studying than their male peers will score higher on her exam than he would. Students who receive free lunch tend to come from lower income families which will cause them to score lower on their test. These students may not have the support they need at home to encourage them to study and get their work done.
