2. Hypotheses • Research: The teenage participants will have the best memory out of both age groups, physical activity will not affect the teens, but it will affect the adults. • Null: There will be no significant difference of memorization between the different groups and physical activity will have no affect on memory.

3. Research in today’s society • Many teens tend to do many after school athletics, so do they affect what they learned prior to their physical activity? • Does it affect high school students? • Does it affect working adults?

4. To measure the results of the total amount of numbers remembered the results concluded their memory: 1-5 numbers= Poor 6-9 numbers= Moderate 10-16= Good

6. As you can see, the majority of the participants have good memory, this data includes the control groups as well.

8. Conclusion • My research hypothesis was supported, because it was proven that the teens had a better memory than the adults and the physical activity did not seem to affect memory. • My null hypothesis was also accepted. My p value was higher than .05
