a Play?

INTRODUCTION:
Hannah and I picked this topic because we were both curious about how many
people seen a play throughout two previous school year. Ours was more of an
experiment.
Question: How many theatre shows have you seen in the past 2 years?
Hypothesis: Seniors seen more plays throughout the school year than Freshmans.
Population: We decided to get our population from AMES and Hunter High School.
We asked seniors, juniors, sophomore, and freshman. We asked five from each
grade.

Bias
In our project, we realized that people were more biased than we thought they
would be. When we asked people, they seemed to give an estimate answer instead
of an accurate answer. We tried to eliminate bias by giving them enough time to stop
and ponder how many theyve been to. Also pick enough males and females equally.

Conclusion(Reflection)
We learned from this project that boys from hunter go less frequently to plays than
girls, but it is the complete opposite for Ames. Boys go more frequently to shows
than girls. Also we noticed that more you move up each grade, the more likeability
you will attend to more school activities.
