Our Abstract
The reason we did this study was to see if there was an association between favorite sport to play and procrastination level.
We sample about 10% of North Olmsted High School, by distributing 150 surveys to randomly picked students. We had picked 75 girls and 75 boys to get an equal representation of gender in our study. Of those 150 surveys we received 115 surveys back. We noticed some weaknesses in our study which affected our results, please refer to our Discussion page.
We also did a lot of background research on our topic and we learned a lot about procrastination and what we can do to reduce it, please refer to the Background page.
We decided to use the Chi-Square Goodness-of-Fit test to see if we had an association between favorite sport and procrastination, but since we had 9 cells which had expected cell counts less than 5.
After we ran our test,
we were given a p-value 0f 0.585, so we failed to reject our null
hypothesis, that there is no association between favorite sport and
procrastination level. If we had a valid test and the expected cell counts
were greater than or equal to 5, we would be able to support this study.
