00:00.000 --> 00:04.300
In this video, we will discuss how to interpret your data.
00:04.300 --> 00:10.000
We will briefly talk about what your data shows, your trend line, your equation for
00:10.000 --> 00:13.360
your trend line and the r squared value.
00:13.360 --> 00:17.520
Your interpretation is marked under the analysis criterion.
00:17.520 --> 00:20.660
There is no need to overcomplicate this section.
00:20.660 --> 00:23.840
The key here is to focus on what your data shows.
00:23.840 --> 00:27.280
Let's see how this is done in the example IA.
00:27.280 --> 00:33.720
First, I make a simple statement about what my graph shows, connecting it to the hypothesis.
00:33.720 --> 00:37.720
Note that I do not go into details about why this happens.
00:37.720 --> 00:43.200
Next, I briefly explain how I got my trend line and I mention its equation.
00:43.200 --> 00:45.920
I do not evaluate the equation here.
00:45.920 --> 00:52.120
Finally, I refer to my r squared value and briefly state how it confirms that the trend
00:52.120 --> 00:54.120
line fits the data well.
00:54.120 --> 00:58.920
Please note that this is all the r squared value means, it does not lead to any deeper
00:58.920 --> 01:03.040
conclusions about the physics behind your investigation.
01:03.040 --> 01:09.060
If you got a linear graph, it might make sense to mention its gradient and axis intercept.
01:09.060 --> 01:13.200
You will evaluate these in more detail in the next section.
01:13.200 --> 01:18.900
This completes step 6, action 4, now you know how to interpret your data.
01:18.900 --> 01:23.340
In the next video, we will discuss how to answer the research question based on your
01:23.340 --> 01:23.840
data.
