To avoid these variables in our study we will send reminders through text message to apply the lip product at three points each day. Those who have chronic chapped lips could still see improvement and we will show them in our study. ]]> 2017-11-08 15:34:32 UTC https://padlet.com/akmca745/avbp61g2an8d/wish/204867535 akmca745 https://padlet.com/akmca745/avbp61g2an8d/wish/204869915 Vaseline will be our control group in this experiment. We are using Vaseline because it is known to be a good moisturizer for lips and skin.

The more people we had in our study, the more chapsticks we would be buying. For each 500 boys and girls to try all three brands of lip moisturizers, we would need 1,000 of each chapstick brand. Vaseline would come out to be $1,890, Burt’s Bees would be $3,000, and Carmex would be $2,000 for a grand total of $6,890 just on chapstick. Our subjects and team would not be getting paid, as there isnt too much time and or effort on either of our parts. ]]> 2017-11-08 16:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/akmca745/avbp61g2an8d/wish/204892790 akmca745 https://padlet.com/akmca745/avbp61g2an8d/wish/204892815 To replicate this experiment, we would go to a different high school and gather 500 more (different]]> 2017-11-08 16:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/akmca745/avbp61g2an8d/wish/204892815 akmca745 https://padlet.com/akmca745/avbp61g2an8d/wish/204901505 The average satisfaction rate for Burt’s Bees chapstick for the groups was 8.35 while Carmex was 3.5 and Vaseline was 5.55.
