Introduction: Hi, my name is Aiyana Carter and I created a survey with the help of my partner Elizabeth Rivera. We came up with this survey project because we wanted to find out if more people would prefer a comedy movie over a horror movie or vise versa. We decided to do a survey that both fits our interest. We wanted to come up with a good survey topic that was easy to plan out and easy for the students at our school to take.
Planning:
When planning my survey my partener and I conducted this survey at school. She came up with the topic and from then on we both started coming up with questions for the survey. Most of our time went toward the questions and the wording so it would relate back to our hypothesis. We gathered in information that we already knew, from other sources like the internet, and from our teacher to help us with the hypothesis. First we planned out the topic, then we gathered information, and started to construct the survey, and lastly we gathered all the data and graphed it out. Potential problems in conducting our survey is that we needed questions that would be based off of the teens emotions and how they feel rather than already stated facts. Hypothesis: Do teens prefer to watch a horror movie because it gives them an adrenaline rush or do they prefer comedy to give them humor.
Reasoning: Everyone loves watching a movie that suites their best interest. Watching a movie gives you something to do after a long day. However, I believe a horror movie is bad for your mental health and physical health.
Sample: I will survey at least 20 students ages 15-18 from Bullard Havens High School.
