In this video, we will discuss how to answer the research question based on your data.
First, we will talk about how to answer the research question, second, we will evaluate
your hypothesis, and third, we will evaluate the trend line and its equation.
This section is marked under the evaluation criterion.
Let's see how these three steps are done in the example IA.
During the research question is in subsection 1, conclusion, under conclusion and evaluation.
First, I restate my research question and hypothesis, then I refer to the data and the
graph when writing my answer.
Finally, I write a short evaluation about my trend line and equation.
If your equation shows a clear, known mathematical connection between the variables, briefly explain
it here.
If there seems to be no such relationship, mention this as well, just like I have done
here.
Just to reiterate, the key in this section is to use your data to answer the research
question.
This completes step 7, action 1.
Now you know how to answer the research question based on your data.
In the next video, we will discuss how to compare your results to the accepted scientific
context.
