License plate project

Observation:
My group has observered that some cars have only one license plate.

Hypothesis:
My group predicts that every 9 out 0f 10 cars at shopping centers will have two license plates.

Prediction:
If you got Bridgewater Falls, then every 9 out of 10 cars will have to license plates.

Experiment:
Two groups went to two different shopping centers and collected data.
The Bridgewater Falls group collected data from 150 cars and only 3 had one license plates.
The Dayton Mall group also collected data from 150 cars and only 4 one license plates.

Conclusion: 
After analyzing the data we concluded that only two and a third percent out of three hundred cars only had one license plates.

  1. Before our group we and collected data about the license plates we did some research on Ohio's license plates. From our research our mobile vehicles should have a visible license plates on both the front and the rear of the car. There are some exceptions like motorcycles or motorized bikes, and mobile homes and trailers.

  3. Genral Information
    The following states only require 1 license plate, Alabama, Arizone, Delaware, Arkansas, Flordia, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan,Tennessee, Mississippi, New Mexico, both North and South Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia (*Rhode Island accepts either rear or both license plates). So all of the other states require 2 license plates, which includes Ohio. License plates should be mounted to the car in the proper place (the bumpers) in a manner that is free of obstruction.Automobile manufacturers are prohibited by law from distributing cars with only one license plate in states that require both. If you have violated license plate laws, it will usually result in a traffic ticket. Besides a traffic ticket, a violation of a license plate provision can sometimes be accompanied by a fine, usually from $100-$200. It depends on where your at, but in Ohio you should see a majority of cars with 2 license plates, but if you where to go to Kansas you would see a majority of cars with 1 license plate because they only need 1 license plate.
