• The purpose of this study is to find out if the amount of time a student spends on Social Networks related to the amount of time they spend doing homework/studying.

• Our first quantitative variable is the number of hours a student spends

• Our first quantitative variable is the number of hours a student spends on Social Network weekly. The unit of measurement for this variable is hours. A few possible values for this variable are 1, 5 and 10. • Our second quantitative variable is the number of hours a student spends on studying/homework weekly. The unit of measurement for this variable is hours. A few possible values for this variable are 1, 5 and 10.

• To answer this research question, we gathered our data as follows: we obtained a total of 40 completed questionnaires from Salt Lake Community College at the Redwood Campus and randomly chose students to take a short 2 question survey. In order to ensure the students are chosen randomly, we gathered from different areas of the campus

The Questionnaire: • How many hours do you spend on social networking every week?

Positive Correlation • The correlation coefficient is greater than the critical value; we can conclude that there is a positive correlation between our variables. • However, is there really? Do students who spend more time social networking spend more time on studying and homework? There may have been bias.
