Scientific question

Question

Hi,

I have been provided with some data (these experiments were repeated every year for 3 years):

Gender, if you smoke, alcohol intake, age, if you have a healthy diet with measurements including: height, weight peak flow, heart rate , oxygen saturation and reaction time.

Using this, what questions can you come up with so that you can create a hypothesis question and test your hypothesis.

Can anyone help me with some questions they might have?

Hi Vivien!

Looks interesting! Maybe if I share a few ideas, you can come up with some of your own. Remember, it should be a hypothesis that you can actually test by analyzing your data. Here are a few questions that come to mind:

1. Do smokers have decreased lung function (measured by peak flow) compared to nonsmokers?
2. Is increased alcohol intake associated with increased weight?
3. How does reaction time change as you age? Is this different in men compared to women?

Hope this was helpful to get you started!
