Energy Drinks!

By: Michael Williams, Erica Lee, Erica Kim, and Davis Song
3
Goal or Purpose Our goal is to see if there is a correlation between the sex of Castro Valley High School seniors and whether they like energy drinks or not.
4
Experimental Design -Experiment to provide evidence if there’s a difference in proportions between senior boys and girls who prefer energy drinks -Past experience- -Older students prefer energy drinks than younger students -Male students prefer energy drinks more than female students
5
Process - Created a poll and distributed it randomly to all seniors in the classes we visited - Polled only seniors at CVHS in 7 th period - Ensured that no student was polled twice
6
FORM Gender (circle one) Male Female Preferred Beverage (circle one) CoffeeJuice Energy DrinkSoda WaterTea
7
Process Continued… -To determine whether the subjects preferred energy drinks we listed “energy drinks” among other beverages rather than asking if they like energy drinks or not -7 th period classes- example: Government and Economics classes to ensure mostly seniors -If juniors were present, they did not receive a form
8
Process Continued… -Most students filled out forms correctly -Collected 117 forms -1 filled out incorrectly -1 filled out incorrectly -2 wrote their own drinks (“tea” and “milk”) because 1 st preferred not present -2 wrote their own drinks (“tea” and “milk”) because 1 st preferred not present
9
Errors in Process -We had to randomly select 55 forms out of our 117, because our population was too small and our sample size was too big. -To do so, we used the random numbers chart
10
Bias -Not a true SRS, not all seniors had an equal chance of being chosen *Not all seniors have a 7 th

2-Prop Z Test H 0 : p 1 = p 2 where p1 = proportion of male seniors at Castro Valley High who prefer energy drinks H A : p 1 > p 2 and p2 = proportion of female seniors at Castro Valley High who prefer energy drinks z test =-2.5036, p-value=.0123 Reject H 0 if p-value < α

Calculations for percentages
18
Conditions All are 5 or larger, we are safe using a 2-sample z-procedure
19
Conditions -The population is at least 10 times as large as the sample. Castro Valley’s senior population is 554, and our sample size is 55. (55)(10)=550 554 > 550 seniors at CVHS
20
Z-test statistic
21
Analysis We reject H 0 at the 5% level (p=.01646). We reject H 0 at the 5% level (p=.01646). If we do in fact reject H 0,then the proportion of male seniors at CVHS prefer energy drinks over the proportion of female seniors at CVHS. If we do in fact reject H 0,then the proportion of male seniors at CVHS prefer energy drinks over the proportion of female seniors at CVHS.
22
2-prop Z Int.Conditions All are 5 or larger, therefore we are safe using a 2-proportion z interval.
23
95% Confidence Interval Confidence interval: (.0308,.5009)
24
Analysis We are 95% confident that the true mean proportion(Proportion of males who prefer energy drinks- Proportion of females who prefer energy drinks) is between.0308 and.5009.
25
Conclusion Our experiment to decide whether or not male seniors at CVHS prefer energy drinks more than female seniors at CVHS seemed to confirm that a larger proportion or male seniors prefer energy drinks than female seniors
26
Conclusion Significance Test Significant at 5% level Rejected hypothesis that the two proportions are equal
27
Conclusion Confidence Interval -Male proportion likely to be larger because the left tail of the distribution not covered by the interval (2.5%) is still over zero meaning the male proportion would still be larger than the female proportion. The right tail would still mean a larger male proportion -This coincides with the significance results of.0165
28
Final Conclusion -We feel the survey we created, distributed, and analyzed shows a greater male proportion of seniors over female who prefer energy drinks. -Data could be used for marketing. *More male oriented energy drinks *More male oriented energy drinks
