1. Does your favorite color bias your choices

2. Do our color preferences affect our choices?
QUESTION
Do our color preferences affect our choices?

3. PURPOSE
The purpose we did this is to determine if our color preferences affect our choices. This is important because if I owned a store, I would want to fill it with my customer’s favorite colors in order to sell as much as I could.

4. HYPOTHESIS
We hypothesize that color preference doesn’t matter. We believe this because we think picking your favorite colors is tied to specific things like taste. If we had a jar of M and M’s people may pick their favorite flavor, not color.

5. PROCEDURES

6. MATERIALS
Skittles Silly bands Snap cubes Erasers Paper clips Clear jar Paper Pencil

7. VARIABLES
MANIPULATED : objects RESPONDING : percentage of favorite colors picked CONSTANT: number of objects picked out in each trial and number of objects in jar

8. Directions
1.Get a clear jar. Fill it with colored cubes 2. Ask test subjects to pick 10 3.Record their color picks 4.Ask the their favorite color 5.Do 1-4 with snap cubes 6.Do 1-4 with skittles 7.Do 1-6 with pencils also 1-4 gram cubes and 1-4 paper clips 8.Determine the percentege of estimators that picked their favorite color the most in each trial

10. SUBJECTS WHO PICKED THEIR FAVORITE COLOR

12. CONCLUSION
Our hypothesis was correct. Color preferences does not effect your choices. 38% of the people chose their favorite color. If we did this experiment again, we would change favorite color to favorite taste because if people eat food they have to have a favorite taste. In my opinion, we should do this experiment again. Instead of using objects, we would use food.
