<p>Methods:
In order to assess the relationship between hair colour and gender, 23 human
subjects were surveyed. Students were placed in five groups- two groups of five
and three groups of four. The lab group I was working with consisted of four
members and each member surveyed one lab group (not including our own) and
shared data. Measurements were
categorical because gender and hair colour are measure in categories. Students
in the lab were surveyed by other students and two questions were ask 1) what
is your gender; 2) What is your hair colour, students wrote down what answers
were given. Students were allotted fifteen minutes to survey and collect data for
our lab section. This was done as a trial to allow the students to familiarize
themselves with Figshare, to better understand the difference between data and
meta-data, and to help students improve for future assignments. </p>
<p> Study
site: This study took place at York University on Thursday September 15, 2016,
in the Lumbers building room 118 lab section 04. This lab was conducted indoors.<br></p><p>Hypothesis: Hair
colour has no impact on gender because there is no genetic or chromosomal
influence that directly relates hair colour and gender.
</p><p> Predictions:
</p><p>1) The
colour spectrum in regards to hair colour for students to choose from will be
wider because of the advancement of science and the ability to dye hair. </p>
<p> 2) This
is 2016 and because it is 2016 hair colour is not contingent upon gender and
therefore the sky is the limit.
</p><p> 3) Weather
will have no impact on hair colour because the activity of colouring hair is not
permitted during the lab and science has not yet advanced to the point of hair
colour changing under certain weather conditions.
