Analysis and
Conclusion
Overview

no correlation between academic success and time spent on social media and homework.

Errors:

Majority of respondents were female

Respondents from many of the same colleges

Some at ASU went completely unrepresented.

With a higher amount of participants across a larger spectrum of colleges and classed, the data may have shown different results. Overall, the

average amounts of time spent on each were around 3 hours. Not only this, but there was no evidence of more time spent on homework than

social media resulting in more academic success or higher GPA.
