Stage one brainstorm My hypothesis is, there will be a moderate to strong, positive correlation between the time someone spends on a cell phone and how much the focus in school. In the research, I concluded that more and more teens have cell phones and I believe this will cause a problem in class.
 * x || y || Question ||
 * farmland || price of produce || the less farm land the higher the produce ||
 * obesity || healthcare || how much has healthcare gone up with a rising in obesity ||
 * unemployment || crime rate || when unemplyment goes up, does crime rate? ||
 * unemployment || finacial aid || how much does the government give when employments rates are down ||
 * Hours of studying || test/exam test result || does studying actually help? ||
 * **__time on phones(cellphones in general)__** || **__listening to the class(out of 100%)__** || **__In Ancaster high school, classes of 2010/11, i will take a 200 count suvey of all grades. The question is, do cell phones affect our focus level?__** ||
 * time on cell phone || social interaction || have we given our social lives to talk on our cell phones? ||
 * number of people able to drive || cars on the road || how many cars are there per person ||
 * number of students || use public transit || how many students use public transportation ||

I have personal belief that cell phones affect us. I have seen a lot of students lately trying to hide cell phones and it has to have an effect on us that is why i chose this comparison.

I will use both one variable and two variable to explain my theory.

In This survey there is convenience sampling method. I asked classes that weren't busy or were able the take the survey. There are quite a few biases in my survey, to start Sampling bias, i didn't survey enough of each set of cell phone users. Secondly, Response bias, some students may give false information for the fun of it. Lastly a Leading question, i gave students the choice of five answers per question.

Overall my hypothesis was correct. Not having a cell phone creates higher focus, grades and memorization abilites than having and being on it for long periods of time. In the focus levels, not having a cell phones had the greatest percent of 81-100% even though 0-1 beat it overall. 1 hour isn't that much though. While >6 hours have the highest number of <20%. For midterm averages, not having a cell phone had a 12% jump over the 0-1 Hour timeframe. Lastly, not having a cell phone had a 6% increase over the next timframe for highest level of memorization.

I am not trying to bash cell phones (I have one), but I have a lot more cell phones lately in school and it is quite annoying. I had to think to myself does this affect use as a student body and in conclusion it does in all parts of learning in school.
