IntroductionA survey is a detailed study of a market or an area to gather data on attitudes, opinions,

understanding level etc. It have been used in diversity of forms in most places such as

hospitals, schools, hotels, restaurants and more. It enables us to improve or gain knowledge

upon other people’s understanding or opinion.

Regarding this assignment, we are required to do a survey about one of the chronic diseases

in Malaysia. When we are doing the research about the chronic diseases, we found that colon

cancer is the leading cause of death by cancer in Malaysia mainly due to a lack of urgency

among many people who are at greater risk from developing this cancer yet fail to seek

treatment until it is too late. They do not have much knowledge about this disease. Due to

this, we are more curious about this disease compare to other diseases. Hence, we decided to

do a survey about this disease.

ObjectiveThe survey’s primary objective is to identify between two genders of students that have more

understanding ability on specific chronic disease in Malaysia. We were to conduct a survey around

the campus and organize a statistical data regarding the response on the two gender upon the survey.

This enables us to be able to calculate statistics in real life and gain knowledge from analysing it, to

calculate and conclude how much that each student and different genders could understand more on

specific disease happen in Malaysia. This enable us to differentiate between the two genders easily by

looking through the survey answers.

Through this project, we not only can improve our techniques in solving statistic questions, we also

can learn more about the chronic diseases in Malaysia. This group project enable us to learn to work

in group. We can practice our leadership skill, communication skill as well as tolerance in this way.

We also learn to be brave when we are trying to distribute the survey form. Learning outcome:

1. To analyse the statistical data based on the survey forms collected and draw

conclusion from the data.

2. To solve problems that involves various mathematical principles.

3. To understand and apply mathematical principles involved.

Methodology

We planned wisely before starting our project. We done our research before choosing a disease. Next, we do the survey form by choosing suitable questions. After that, we divided our forms equally to be distributed that was 50 forms per person. Two person will distributed it to the male while the other two person will distributed it to the male. We decided to choose places that have more people such as library, e-quarium or classrooms.

Places of interviewing chosen:

Different between male students and female students

In the conclusion, female students of Taylor’s University are more understand than male students in Taylor’s University about Colon Cancer.

The male students and female students answer the entire question correctly but more female students answer the question correctly.

The total marks of female students is 12.21 out of 21. The total mark of male students is 9.9 out of 21. The female students score a higher mark than the male students. This means that the female students answer more correct answer than male students. The difference female students and male students is 2.31.

The difference between the male students and female students is not too big.
