The  experimental units are the shoppers. ]]> 2019-03-28 17:52:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346274001 kyleekolinchak https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346274580 I talked to 10 different shoppers in each store (30 people for each mall) and asked them to complete a questionnaire about the stores and why they bought what they bought. ]]> 2019-03-28 17:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346274580 kyleekolinchak https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346275417 We asked the stores to play different music while the shoppers shopped to see if the different types of music made customers buy more or less. ]]> 2019-03-28 17:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346275417 kyleekolinchak https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346276422 My explanatory variable was the music played in the different stores.]]> 2019-03-28 17:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346276422 kyleekolinchak https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346276883 My response variable is how much each person bought from the store. ]]> 2019-03-28 17:57:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346276883 kyleekolinchak https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346278169 I went to 3 different shopping centers in the valley to ensure that my experiment would not be biased. The lurking variable would be if someone needed something for a special occasion because it wouldn't matter the music in the store.]]> 2019-03-28 17:59:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346278169 kyleekolinchak https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346278227 The control groups are the 3 different stores. Since we are playing specific music, the revenue of the stores will be dependent on the music played.]]> 2019-03-28 17:59:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346278227 kyleekolinchak https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346278294 The shoppers will be blind in this experiment and unaware that the type of music was being changed to see if it effected if they purchased anything or not. We cannot have this experiment has a double blind because the stores needed to know in order to change the different music. ]]> 2019-03-28 17:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346278294 kyleekolinchak https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346278460 This experiment will have a crossover design because we asked 3 of the same name brand stores to participate in this experiment. ]]> 2019-03-28 17:59:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346278460 kyleekolinchak https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346278772 This experiment has a margin of error of 33% since we are using 3 different stores in 3 different shopping centers. ]]> 2019-03-28 18:00:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346278772 kyleekolinchak https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346279027 This experiment can be replicated by doing more research and asking more people to complete the survey to get more of a variety in the answers and to ensure that the results are more accurate. ]]> 2019-03-28 18:00:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346279027 kyleekolinchak https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346279081 I learned that the more popular songs affected the amount of money people spent. The stores revenue increased by 5% or $500 during the time period where more popular music was played. The revenue decreased by 2% or $200 during the time period where less popular or older songs were being played.  ]]> 2019-03-28 18:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346279081 kyleekolinchak https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346279259 The increase of sales from when the popular songs were played and when the older/least popular songs were played was $700. Almost every store lost revenue when the older songs were played and when we asked the customers why the didn't buy anything, the majority of them said it was because they were so focused on the songs and not on continue shopping. ]]> 2019-03-28 18:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346279259 kyleekolinchak https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346279311 I worked it out with the store to offer the people who completed the survey a 10% off coupon for the next time they shop at the store. The people who worked in the store were given their normal payment of minimal wage ($11.75), we also gave the managers a thank you gift of a $20 gift card for letting us use the store in our experiment.
Managers: $20 x 3 x 3=$180

The results show that the more popular/more current songs caused people to buy more and spend more money. ]]> 2019-03-28 18:01:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kyleekolinchak/kxldfxjlrxgk/wish/346279381
