Does listening to different types of music enhance your studying abilities?

# data[].attributes.body
Our control group is our 50 men and 50 women who did not receive any music to listen to to simulate normal studying environments.

# data[].attributes.body
We could not blind or double blind in this experiment because each group would know what type of music they are listening to during their studies.

# data[].attributes.body
At the end of the three exams the classical music group go the highest average score of all the groups. The hard rock group struggled with studying, and the no music group was in the middle.

# data[].attributes.body
Our response variable was the average score that each group of 50 men and 50 women achieved on their exams.

# data[].attributes.body
Universities and colleges nationwide now recommend listening to classical music if you want to boost your grades, and they do not recommend listening to hard rock while trying to study.

# data[].attributes.body
We gave 50 men and 50 women classical music to listen to while they studied during the week prior to exams, The next 50 men and 50 women were given hard rock for a week. The last 50 men and 50 women were not given any music to serve as the control variable.

# data[].attributes.body
Our explanatory variable was what type of music our students were given, classical, hard rock, or none.

# data[].attributes.body
We used students with a GPA over 3.0 to make sure that they actively studied and were invested in this experiment.

# data[].attributes.body
We can repeat this experiment in the next semester to ensure that our data is consistent and there were no outliers affecting the average score of each group.

# data[].attributes.body
We had the school give us a list of all of the students with a GPA over 3.0 and we assigned them numbers, using a random number table to pick the students. Lurking variables could be the environment they are in, and their health.

# data[].attributes.body
We grouped up the students from each year into college they were and split them up so that we could get an even distribution of all of the education levels in each group.

# data[].attributes.body
Our sample size is 300 which means our margin of error is 5.8%. This low MOE is good for the credibility of our experiment because it shows a good representation of the entire population.

# data[].attributes.body
We found 150 men and 150 women in college who were studying for their final exams.
