Driving Safety and Distractions
Research question: driving safety and types of distractions
Hypothesis: Driving safe and trying to avoid distractions can prevent thousands
of accidents each year. People tend to let things like music, phones, makeup,
and other things distract their driving. Acting more safely can prevent alot. The
null hypothesis would be that it really doesn 't matter about the distractions it is up
to the person to drive safe.
The number of participants that i will use for this research is thirty. The inclusion
characteristics will be age, gender, and three different types of distractions. I
don 't think there will be no exclusion characteristics considering the study is
using age and gender as well as different distraction characteristics. Yes the
sample nedds to be diverse because we are studying driving between male and
females. We are also studying the adult and teenager age groups against the
different distractions that we intend to use.
The type of sampling method that I will be using is stratisfied random sampling.
This sampling is appropiate because i will be randomly selecting participants
from each group so that their presentation in the sample is proportional to the
representation in te population. I will generalize my sample to the male and
female population. I will also use the teenage and adult groups. I will also
generalize between the different types of distractions and there affect.
The independent variables in my study will be men versues women. The
dependent variable would the types of distractions that causes a person not to
drive safely.
I will be using the one-way annova test. This test is appropiate to use with the
number of distractions being tested which will be three or more caterogories to
compare against.
The reliablity of this study is based off of the participants and how they react to
the types of distractions. The validity would be how valid the
