Collecting data 2
How does simulated data compare to 'real' data from an experiment.
How good is simulated data?
You should now have two sets of data for our experiment:
- A set of ‘real’ data, collected using a spinner.
- A set of simulated data, generated using a spreadsheet.
For this step, we want you to consider just one simple question:
- If you did not already know, would you be able to say which set of data was real and which was simulated?
