Background Information • ING- Direct did a survey of 1015 people • They asked what is the “most appropriate amount” to spend on a first date. • Men thought that they should spend $108 • Women thought they should spend $85 • Women said that $192 was too much while $27 was too cheap. • “Women clearly feel uncomfortable when a man spends too much on a first date,” said Lisa Claes, ING’s executive director.
Our Question • “Do male BYU-Idaho students spend too much on a first date?” • Population- BYU-Idaho students • Sample- 100 males students and 100 females students
Data Collection • Question to girls- “How much should a guy spend on a first date?” • Question to guys- “How much do you spend on a first date?” • Each girl went to the MC and asked 25 guys and 25 girls • Each manly man went to the library and asked 25 guys and 25 girls
Descriptive Statistics • Guys ask Guys • Mean- $18.75 • Standard Deviation- $11.60 • Range- $60 • Median- $18.50 • Mode- $20 • Girls ask Girls • Mean- $24.38 • Standard Deviation- $11.12 • Range- $45 • Median- $20 • Mode- $20
Inferential Statistics • µ1= when girls ask girls • µ2= when guys ask guys • P-Value= .007 • P-Value .007 < .05 • Reject the null • There is sufficient evidence to conclude that girls want guys to pay more on a first date.
CONCLUSION!!! • We learned that, in actuality, girls think that guys should spend more • We should have sent one guy to the MC and one girl to the MC, and had the guy and girl go together to ask every question. • Girls would tell a lower amount to the guys asking than when a girl asked them • Guys would say a higher amount when a girl asked them as opposed to when a guy asked them. • Thus, men and women at BYU-Idaho both lie. A lot.
