Result and Analysis

Result
To complete this study properly, it is necessary to analyse the data collected in order to test
the hypothesis. In this result, we will analyse by using a line graph in order to make it easier
to observe and compare between both small and big particles.
The results are as shown :

Analysis
The display on the device shows the reading for both small and big particles in units of
particles per 1/100 of a cubic foot. So in order to convert cubic foot or cu/ft, the values need
to multiply by 100. Or to make it easier just by adding two zero digit at the back of the
values.
Example:
To convert small and big particle to particle per cubic foot in 1 minute duration
Small particles = 7330 X 100
= 7330000 particles per cubic foot
Big particles = 2746 X 100
= 275600 particles per cubic foot
