Scientific Method- Practical Research

Question-

 How many cars will have one license plate?

 

Hypothesis-

Most cars at Meijer, Kroger, and Walmart will have 2 license plates.

 

Experimental Process-

 We traveled to Meijer, Kroger, and Walmart, the largest businesses in Middletown, during the afternoon.

 

Data-

Place                           1 plate                         2 plates

Kroger                         2                                  98

Walmart                      4                                  96

Meijer                          1                                  99

Table-

 

 

 

 

 

Key

Red- 1 license plate

Blue- 2 license plates

Column Order

1st- Meijer

2nd- Kroger

3rd- Walmart

Range

94% to 100%

 

 

Conclusion-

Most cars in the Middletown area have 2 license plates where as if we lived in a larger city such as Cincinnati or Columbus. If you live in a smaller city or town then the majority of the cars will have two license plates. In Ohio it is a state law to have two license plates whereas in Indiana and Kentucky only one is required. A problem that could have affected our results is not going at an appropriate time of day.
