THE EXPERIMENT

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.
