1. For adult men, is the amount of money spent per week on fast food related to body weight? By: Chad Vigil, Jeannette Watson, Jason Williams, Amanda Webster, Kylee West

2. Purpose We intend to understand: -If fast food causes an increase in body weight for adult men -"For adult men, is the amount of money spent per week on fast food related to body weight?” If no link is found: discuss alternative causes for increased body weight for adult men

3. Study Design A list of adult male individuals was made Each adult male was assigned a number Numbers generated randomly using Excel Each adult man corresponding to the drawn numbers will be surveyed Simple random sample will be achieved Data will be collected with a printed questionnaire asking two questions: 1) How much money do you spend on fast food each week? 2) What is your body weight?

5. Variable Statistics for: Amount of Money Spent on Fast Food per Week Mean: 25.64 Standard Deviation: 13.5027 Five-number summary: 7, 16, 25, 31.5, 50 Range: 58 Mode: 15, 25, 30 Outliers: 65

13. Difficulties/Surprises Opposing interests in research volunteers made topic selection difficult Communication amongst research volunteers Data collaboration Hesitant participants

14. Analysis Critical Value=.396 Correlation Coefficient=.172 Correlation Coefficient shows there was no relationship between the two variables

15. Interpretation and Conclusion Correlation Coefficient=.172 For adult men, the amount of money spent per week on fast food IS NOT related to body weight Potential causes for increased body weight: Physical inactivity Extracurricular activities (video games, television, etc.)

16. Future Studies Obtain larger sample size Replace body weight (lbs.) with the randomly selected individual’s BMI
