survey

In this survey, a sampling of facebook friends took part in a surveymonkey survey which allowed for participation on their own time. In total, there were 13 respondants, 7 females, 6 males between the ages of 18 and 21. Five questions were asked of the participants including: Where are you from? What is your favorite Candy bar? What is your favorite OSU Campus food? What their peanut butter preferences are, and how they feel about Lebron James.

In these seemingly random questions I expected there to be a trend toward certain answers, though they were not always the case. When trying to steer answers to a smaller grouping of potential answers in order to find a trend (such as the candy bar question), it didn't exactly work out to my benefit. In wanting to limit people to saying their favorite candy bar, I had thought it was implied that a favorite candy bar would be made of some sort of chocolate (like 3 musketeers or Milky way), yet there were some respondents that did not answer the survey in such a way, and the results were not as clear cut as intended.

My guesses were the following:
1. cinncinati
2. milky way
3. Rpac
4. smooth
5. do not like Lebron James

Overall my guesses were about right, except for numbers 2,3, and 5.
