Variables for Exercise #6

Dependent Variable: RAP Rs liking for rap

Independent Variable: AGECAT Rs age

Control Variable: RACE Rs race

Bivariate Hypothesis: Depending on how many younger and older respondents will

determined how many people like rap music. The younger respondents will like rap

music more than the older respondents. There will be half of the middle age respondents

that will like rap music and the other half will dislike rap music. I feel that with the

middle age respondents, their attitude towards rap music will be determined by their

surroundings.

Multivariate Hypothesis: Although the age of the respondents affect the results of the

individuals liking rap music, the race also influence the results. My opinion, I feel that

there will be more black people liking rap than white. There are some white rap artist but

I still feel that blacks will like it more because of the content of the song.

Bivariate Discussion: My hypothesis was correct; the young respondents like results are

larger than the other respondents. To my surprise, there were a huge number of younger

respondents that dislike rap music. There were 47 respondents in the age group of 18-29

that dislikes rap music. 60 of the respondents from the middle age category while there

were only 38 of the respondents from the middle age category that like rap music. Out of

the whole research there were 73 of the 40 and older respondents had the largest number

of the respondents that dislike rap music.

Multivariate Discussion: As my hypothesis stated, that the black respondents results

where higher than the whites in all three categories. There where 43.9 of the white

respondents of the younger respondents that like rap music where as there where 81.6 of

the black respondents that like rap music; big difference isnt it. There were 70 of the

black respondents in the age group 30-39 that like rap music and 34 of the white

respondents. Like I stated before the results of the white and black has a big gap between

the respondents that like rap from each age group.
