Research Question: Does different situations affect the amount of cigarettes a person smokes in a day?

Variables

Manipulated Variable: A person is in a situation that causes them to smoke.

Responding Variable:  The amount of cigarettes a person smokes in a day.

Controlled Variable:  The person should be able to control the amount of cigarettes they smoke in a day.

*The variables will be measured by me conducting an experiment/survey.   I will ask people the question: "What is the situation you are in that causes you to smoke the most cigarettes?"

Data Table:

People who don't smoke on a regular basis, but smoke when they get stressed, need to calm down, need to relax, or need to get high.  

Kathy Stevens:

When she is depressed she smokes about one to two packs of cigarettes in a day.

 

Robin Kelsay:

When she is stressed she smokes about two or three cigarettes in a day.

 

Frank Gosen:

When he is frustrated he smokes about five cigarettes in a day.

 

Rhonda Heilds:

When she is in a hurry she smokes probably about four packs a day.

 

Kevin Stevenson:

When he needs to relax he smokes about five and half packs of cigarettes per day.

In conclusion, therefore it shows that people that I have surveyed smoke more when they are trying to calm down or when they are frustrated.
