SURVEY

Requirements

1.       Variable: gender, age, people with after school activities, people with low grades

 

2.       Hypothesis: The kids from 6^th grade to 8^th grade will prefer to have a perfect GPA, in contrast to the 9^th graders to the 12^th graders will rather have a better social life over a perfect GPA.

6.       Analyzing results

7.       Conclusion: My conclusion was correct. The people between the ages of 11 and 13 preferred to have the perfect GPA, but as I did the survey to the teens the results change drastically. Most of them preferred to have a social life than the perfect GPA although they were some exceptions.

8.       My survey will be needed to be replicated to be certain of this conclusion. Some changed can be made.

9.       New question: Will teens study harder if they had no social life?

10.   Reflection: To improve my survey, next time I will ask more people to have a better understanding and more data. I will also make more questions and have more options so people can choose from it. I will use a much more complex theme for my question and have more variables.
