• Explain one weakness in the method that you used to collect quantitive data (2) 2016


  traffic countyou can lose count of how many cars are going past at one point. We only visited at a certain time of day.Environmental surveya lot of people may rank it differently
• Explain how you would improve your data collection method to increase their accuracy (4)

  NOISE DECIBEL APP- make sure there is not other noise. Repeat and calculate and mean. Different people used different apps so many get different readings. Make sure everyone uses the same app and calculate meanTRAFFIC COUNT -do at different times of the day, visit and different times to allow variance. More data collected.
• Explain why the conclusions that you reached might be unreliable.

  The conclusions may be unreliable as the environmental quality survey and crime risk surveys were based of personal opinion which may be biased.

  
  

  Also, the investigation was carried out on one day during working hours so most people would have been at work or school. and This means the interviews did not look at a wide range of people. and therefore conclusions may be invalid or unreliable.
