Over the past week or so, I created three surveys for the WWC to fill out. To be honest, I really could have used more volunteers, but we'll work with what we got. I will lay out the results below in various styles, and I would like for you to analyze the data. Ask yourself some questions:
+ What kind of stereotypes could be drawn from this survey? + Are there any strong correlations within the data? + Does this small sample reflect the larger scale of data? + Do these results change or embrace your depictions of some people?
You don't literally have to line these questions up like a test and add your answer, but I just want you to think about questions like these and make a response.
***Here are the three lists; direct final products of the survey threads:
{What music do you listen to?} **---Name------------Genres------------------Instruments---------------------------**

Yeah, I was starting to notice that, too.
Let's see...
13 whites/ 9 yes = 69% of whites drink soda
8 non-whites/ 4 yes = 50% of non-whites drink soda
Not too big of a difference, especially for a small sample.

Haha, lucky number.
I have identified a problem in this survey... A few of the survey takers are trolls. |

| Well, if you think about it, there are "trolls" who take official surveys. Ever had those drug surveys in school? There are many kids who love to exaggerate and play around on those surveys, not giving accurate information. Do you think something like that would significantly ruin survey results that researches actually use for important studies? |

| Even here, in the debates we have in the WWC, statistics and numbers are sometimes used as support for our arguments. Sometimes our arguments can rely completely on the numbers. Though, can we accept those numbers as fact, or are there certain factors that go into survey taking that could significantly alter the true results? Could it be so dramatic that the outcome is far enough from the true numbers that it actually supports an opposing argument or simply disproves the true numbers? |

| Caffeine is a drug. That's why you shouldn't have soda, coffee, energy drinks, etc. |

| If they're both energy drinks, they most likely have caffeine, so they're both bad. |
