Overarching Question
DO PEOPLE WHO EXIBIT RISKY BEHAVIORS (SMOKING, GAMBLING, DRINKING) ORDER THEIR STEAK IN THE SAME RISKY MANNER AS THEIR BEAHVIORS (RARE). IS THERE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO.
What central question are you interested in exploring? Why are you interested in exploring this question?
THE CENTRAL QUESTION WOULD ASK DO PEOPLE WHO HAVE AN AFFINITY FOR RISKY BEHAVIORS, SPECIFICALLY (SMOKING, DRINKING, GAMBLING) ALSO HAVE A RISKY BEHAVIOR WHEN IT COMES TO EATING THEIR FOOD. SPECIFICALLY IN THIS STUDY, IT IS ABOUT ORDERING STEAK. I AM INTERESTED IN THIS QUESTION BECASUE IT IS INTERESTING TO SEE IF FOOD RISK BEHAVIORS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH ACTIVITY RISK BEHAVIORS. I ALSO AM INTERESTED TO SEE IN THIS STUDY HOW INCOME LEVELS EFFECT THESE DECISIONS AS WELL AS EDUCATION LEVELS, WHICH IS ALSO IN THE STUDY.
What specific research questions will you investigate?
List 2-4 specific research questions. Each should be answerable using your data set.
- DO MORE MALES THAN FEMALES ORDER RARE STEAK?
- DO PEOPLE WITH A BACHELORS DEGREE GAMBLE MORE THAN PEOPLE WITH A GRADUATE DEGREE?
- DO PEOPLE WHO ORDER RARE STEAK ALSO DRINK?
- DO ALL FEMALES WHO ORDER RARE STEAK ALSO SMOKE?
- DO ALL MALES WHO ORDER RARE STEAK ALSO DRINK
- Are males more likely to order their steak rare than females
