Project Abstract In this study, I used randomly selected 38males and 17 females who were randomly selected from the population. A survey with 23 questions was administered. Total participants were 2628. I took simple random sample of 55 by generally random numbers with TI84. The participants for this study were recruited from college students. On each question, there is a differences point of view according to the participant beliefs. Still in progress!!

Project Research Project Introduction This research project is to get an idea of what people think on certain circumstances of life. The study used survey data. For this study, I wanted to know how peoples responses were related to their demographic characteristics. The participants were randomly selected, and each

of them was given a survey which was previously prepared for the instructor. The surveys had a total of twenty-three questions, which are oriented to different subjects. The first eleven questions are demographic, such as gender, ethnicity, age, and education. The second sets of questions are more specific political beliefs. Using descriptive statistics and graphical displays, I compared the answers with the demographic characteristic. In addiction, I also investigate if there more people affiliated with democrat party and there relationship between handedness and gender. Method Participants The participants for this study were recruited by college students and randomly selected. The participation for this study was voluntary and no compensation was offered. The sample consisted of 38 males and 17 females, who were randomly selected from the population. The average age was 32.4 with the standard deviation of 14.6977. The youngest participant was 11, and the oldest one was 66 years old. Measures For this research, I used a survey with twenty-three questions to collect data. The questionnaire contained demographic, and fill in blank questions.

Project Procedure

For this study a survey with twenty-three questions which was administered to each participant. The total participants were 2628. Most of the questions were set to yes or no answers. Some of the questions were to fill in blank, such as the shoe size and the ring size. I took a simple random sample of 55 by randomly generating numbers with TI 84. Results The results for this study show the different answers from the participants. The average of the height is 67.4340 inches with the standard deviation of 4.2810. I eliminated two of the participants from the height because the reported height was 6 and 7 inches. The average weight is 182.4545 pounds with the standard deviation of 50.1131. The average of the ring size is 8.1486 with the standard deviation of 1.8629. 19 of the participants did not report their ring size. The average shoe size is 9.5094 with the standard deviation 2.2155. Two of the survey had shoe sizes entered incorrect. The shoe size was written as a date. Two shoe sizes were eliminated from the calculator. The average male gross income is 46763.8889 with a standard deviation of 42682.2956. Three of the males surveyed had annual gross left in blank, and they were eliminated from the calculation. The average of annual gross female is 17813.3333 with the standard deviation was 17214.8552. One of the females surveyed had annual gross left blank and it was eliminated from the calculations. Furthermore, comparing the gross income in both genders, there was a great difference between both genders; males made more than females. By subtracting the average of both gender (46763.8889-17813.3333=28950.5556), I found out that male have greater gross income compared to female.

Political Party Democrat Republican Independent Other

Obama re-election In favor 8 4 1 3 7 14 3 1 No Yes 10 5 4 3

Health Care Bill No 2 12 2 0 Yes 9 16 7 4

Death penalty No 7 3 2 3

8 participants who responded were Democrats in favor of Obama being re-elected and 7 were against. On the Health Care Bill, 10 participants were Democrats in favor and 2 against. On the death penalty 9 participants were Democrats in favor and 7 against. There is a great relationship between the political party and the responses from participants. Most of the participants against Health Care Bill and death penalty were republicans but most of the participants in favor on Obama and Health Care Bill were democrat.

Handedness In favor Right Left Ambidextrous 29 4 4

Death penalty no 10 3 0

On the Handedness, there is a seems to be relationship in favor of Death penalty 29 were right handed in favor and 4 were left handed in favor, which suggests that there is a relationship

Project between handedness and responses. The average water amount consumed by males is 68.0263 with the standard deviation 50.3187. Handedness Male Female right 30 12 Left 6 3 Ambidextrous 2 2

Male right handedness there is 20, 6 left and 2 ambidextrous. Female right handedness is 12, 3 left and 2 ambidextrous.
