AbstractIn progress.

IntroductionThe relationship between two circumstances and their effects on each other are of up

most importance when observing the society around us. In this experiment my team ofscientists and I are determining the correlation between many variables and how theyshape societal factors between individuals: the height of a respondent and it'srelationship to their shoe size, the difference in gross income based on gender, andwhether there is a relationship between handiness and favor of death penalty and waterconsumed; as well as, the relationship between political party and if the respondentfeels President Obama should be re-elected, if the respondent is in favor of the deathpenalty, and if the respondent is in favor of the health care bill being passed. Our teambelieved that height and shoe size of a respondent were related, a female's grossincome is less than a males, there is no relationship between the handedness of arespondent and favor of death penalty nor water consumption and that there is

correlation between political party and if a respondent was in favor of death penalty, re-election, and the passing of the health care. The beliefs of our fellow scientists, outsideof our team, mirrored our own; thus reinstating our hypothesis'. Through this experimentwe hope to further gain knowledge concerning the society we live in.

Methods

1) Materials

- Stats 1510 Survey Worksheet- A Black Ink Pen

- TC Stats App for IPad- One Quarter (assumed to be fair)- Access to internet

2) Participants

My team consisted of 4 people: Prof. Ruddy*, Dr. Rico*, and Dr. Juan*. A total of tenpeople, 7 men and 3 women, were also involved in the study as random participants.

3) Procedure

10 copies of the Stats 1510 Worksheet (see image 1.) were printed. A simple randomsampling technique was used to determine who our team would ask to fill out thesurvey. A quarter (assumed to be fair) was flipped, heads being every consecutiveperson and tails representing every other person. The quarter landed tails up, thusevery other person was to be asked. Every other person who entered the Taft Librarywas asked to fill out the survey. Once ten total surveys had been filled the data for eachsurvey was entered online at http://tinyurl.com/2v3tkur. This was done a total of ten

times, following the specific directions shown on the worksheet. Completed data wastransferred to TC Stats App for IPad. Graphs were then derived through the program.
