Having a low margin of error is good because it means I’m getting close to the majority of the population]]> 2017-11-13 17:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jechi536/g8nfwjdo5zob/wish/206363823 jechi536 https://padlet.com/jechi536/g8nfwjdo5zob/wish/206365186 We can replicate this study with another 300 people from different school or work to confirm if it is accurate information. We could do a study with older people with less energy next time]]> 2017-11-13 17:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jechi536/g8nfwjdo5zob/wish/206365186 jechi536 https://padlet.com/jechi536/g8nfwjdo5zob/wish/206366312 After three weeks of gathering data we found that people who drink coffee in the mornings have more energy then those who drink water, however those who drink water have more energy than those who don’t drink anything in the mornings, the average amount of energy people had after coffee was 8, then 6 for water, and 3 for nothing.]]> 2017-11-13 17:22:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jechi536/g8nfwjdo5zob/wish/206366312 jechi536 https://padlet.com/jechi536/g8nfwjdo5zob/wish/206368560 This is statistically significant as there is a large enough difference in averages that it couldn’t be a coincidence making it sign]]> 2017-11-13 17:26:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jechi536/g8nfwjdo5zob/wish/206368560 jechi536 https://padlet.com/jechi536/g8nfwjdo5zob/wish/206370384 Peoples morning routine were changed as more people changed to coffee to get more energy]]> 2017-11-13 17:29:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jechi536/g8nfwjdo5zob/wish/206370384
