Correlation Between Ice Cream And The Rate Of Drowning Deaths

There is a positive correlation between the rate of ice cream an individual consumes and the rate of drowning deaths. The are many factors to this correlation. Each individual may vary so for my experiment I decided to get a sample of the population. My sample will only consist of males and females between the age of 13-19 in a local neighborhood.
The independent variable will be the consumption of ice cream. The amount of time spent after consuming X amount of ice cream can also be a determining factor. Any third variables can be also be age, experience in swimming, the activities while in the pool, for example if you are just relaxing, diving, exercising, and underwater swimming.
The dependent variable will be the rate of drowning deaths of children between the age of 13-19. Everyone will be given two scoops of ice cream and they will go …show more content…
I will make their legal guardians or parents sign a waiver saying that they are participating in an experiment and understand the risk that is being taken. I will give a through explanation on what the process will be like for this experiment. Parents will be allowed to view their children but are not allowed to interact with them because they might interrupt the experiment if it seems like their children might be in danger. The individuals will be given two scoops of ice cream and I will let them go in the pool for 30 minutes with a friend, if they bring one. After those 30 minutes are over I will ask everyone if they felt any difference in the pool after eating the two scoops of ice cream. Each day the same participants will meet up at the same pool at around 3pm and be asked a series of questions after each swim session. Six out of the seven days of the week I will give the participants ice cream and on the last day I wont. On the last day I will ask them even though they didn’t get ice cream if they felt any different on that
