QUESTIONDoes color

preference affect your choice ?

B

PurposeThe purpose of this

investigation is to determine if color preference affect your

choice. This is important because if I owned a bakery

and every one liked blue cupcakes, I would make more

blue cupcakes.

HYPOTHESISI HYPOTHESIZE THAT COLOR

PEFERENCE DOES EFFCT YOUR CHOICE.

PROCEDURE

MATERIALS• Clear bucket • Color cubes • Clip board

Responding-color choices Constant-cubes, bucket and number of cubes

picked

DIRECTIONS1. Gather materials2. Fill clear bucket with gram cubes3. Let some one pick out ten cubes and

record their picks4. Ask them what their favorite color is

and record their choice5. Determine if they picked more cubes

that were their favorite color6. Repeat steps 2-5 with 5 more people7. Repeat steps 1-6 for four more trials

CONCLUSIONMy hypothesis was incorrect. Color preference does not effect your choice. The percentage of subjects who picked their favorite color was 48%. If I were able to do this again, I would have a section for names. When I test someone and then I test him or her again, they could know what I'm doing and it could effect my average.
