What
did we do?
We took
the stats from the graph on the general info: fingerprints page, and then
we took fingerprints from the volintears of our school (Ecole Jules Quesnel)
and compared them to the stats that we recieved off the internet.
Hypothesis:
Loops:
75%
Whorls:
10%
Arches:
15%

Experiment:
Here is
the graph showing the stats from the internet:
Here is
the graph showing the stats from Jules Quesnel:
Conclusion:
The stats
from our school were similar, but not quite the same. The arches &
whorls were pretty much the same, at 15% & 10%, instead of 5% &
35%.
Potential
sources of errors:
We did
not have any training for reconising fingerprints, and therefore could
havemistaken some of the prints.
