Our Hypothesis is that Wal-Mart will have a higher percent of cars without a front plate because more people go to Wal-Mart, and its a poplular store.so it will be more likely that there will be more people with only one plate there.
Our Prediction is that if we go to all three stores then Wal-Mart will have a higher percentage of cars with one plate.
Experimental set-up - We are going to go to 3 different stores at the same time and day, and count 100 cars and see how many have one plate. We are all going on Saturday the 8th, at around 1:00. We will be going to Target, Wal-Mart and Meijer. I will go to Wal-Mart, Destiny is going to Target, and Paige is going to Meijer. We will collect data by writing down tally marks of how many cars had one plate, and how many had two plates.
Destiny found 6 cars without a front plate out of 100 at Target, Paige found 8 cars without a front plate at Meijer, and I found 7 cars without a front plate at Walmart.
Conclusion: The experiments others could perform will vary based on perhaps the time of the year or day they do the experiment. Whether there will be more or less people or more people from other states or less. Possible sources of error are the times of the day you do the experiment if it is not done at the same time in one day. Variables that may change the outcome are the store hours and whether it is a holiday or very close to being one can change the responding variable in the experiment. The independent variable must be getting the information at the same time on the same day to make things accurate.
