The Dent Stoppers 2020-2021

Analysis:

The Water-Based drywall has an average door acceleration of about 4.5m/s^2 and an average dent depth of 0.827 millimeters. The minimum door acceleration is 0.2m/s^2 while the maximum is 8.7m/s^2. On the other hand, the minimum dent depth is 0.098 millimeters and the maximum is 1.95 millimeters. The “Water-Based Drywall - Door Acceleration vs. Depth of Dent” graph shows that the water-based drywall does not seem to have any outliers.

The Oil-Based drywall has an average door acceleration of about 4.205m/s^2 but has an average dent depth of 1.112 millimeters. The minimum dent depth 0.195 millimeters while the maximum is 2.145 millimeters. On the other hand, the minimum door acceleration is 0.2m/s^2 and the maximum is 14m/s^2. The “Oil-Based Drywall - Door Acceleration vs. Depth of Dent” graph displays that the door acceleration does have an outlier; one of the door accelerations is 14m/s^2.

The Unpainted drywall has an average door acceleration of about 3.43m/s^2 but has an average dent depth of 1.258 millimeters. The maximum door acceleration is 7.6m/s^2 while the minimum is 0.2m/s^2. On the other hand, the minimum dent depth is 0.585 millimeters and the maximum is 2.34 millimeters. The “Unpainted Drywall - Door Acceleration vs. Depth of Dent” graph illustrates that there is no outlier.

The “Depth of the Dent vs. Door Acceleration” graph is a graph with all of the dent depths, door accelerations, and drywall types. In this graph we saw that for the most part, the water-based drywall had the lower dent depths, the unpainted drywall had higher dent depths, and the oil-based drywall was towards the middle. 

The graph called, “Depth of the Dent Avg. vs. Door Acceleration Avg.” has the averages of all the door accelerations and dent depths for each drywall. It shows that even though the water-based drywall has the highest average door acceleration (4.5m/s^2), it still has the lowest average dent depth (0.827 mm). However, the unpainted drywall has the lowest average door acceleration (3.43m/s^2) and the highest average dent depth (1.258 mm). The oil-based drywall is in between the other two drywalls for both the average door acceleration (4.205m/s^2) and average dent depth (1.112 mm). The “Depth of the Dent Avg. vs. Drywall Type” graph shows how much of a difference there was between the three drywalls’ dent depths. 

Based on the data on the experiment we did, the water-based paint is the most durable out of the two. We know this because, according to our data, the water-based drywall has the highest door acceleration average of 4.5m/s^2, but it has the lowest dent depth average of 0.827 millimeters. Also, the oil-based drywall has a lower door acceleration average (4.205m/s^2) than the water-based drywall. However, the oil-based drywall’s dent depth average (1.112 mm) is higher than the water-based drywall. Using this data, we can see that the water-based paint is most durable because despite having the highest average acceleration, it has the lowest average dent depth.
