  1. Does drinking coffee benefit academic performance? Lauren Christofis, Charlene Kinsey, and Morgan Smith

  2. Participants • 30 participants • 15 female • 15 male

  3. Those Who Said Yes • “Yes” • Female: 9/15=60% • Male: 5/15=33% Total: 14/30= 46.5%

  4. Do you drink other caffeinated drinks? Those who answered yes to coffee: • Pop- 3 people • Energy drinks- 4 people • Tea- 4 people Those who answered no to coffee: • Pop- 13 people • Energy drinks- 2 people • Tea- 0 people

  5. GPA for those who drink coffee vs. those who do not Those who drink coffee: • 4.0-3.5: 7 people • 3.4-3.0: 3 people • 2.9-2.5: 4 people Those who do not drink coffee: • 4.0-3.5: 3 people • 3.4-3.0: 5 people • 2.9-2.5: 8 people Hypothesis: Those who drink coffee have on average a better GPA than those who do not drink coffee. 7 people who drink coffee vs 3 people who don’t drink coffee get a 4.0-3.5. It’s easy to see that it’s a big difference between drinking coffee and their academic performance. It’s not clear if it makes a difference whether or not most of the coffee drinkers were females.

  6. What could have made this survey more affective? • Organize multiple choice answers better • Provide selections to choose from for “How often do you drink coffee” • Ask what time their earliest class was to get an understanding of how tired they would normally be in the class. • Researched more students to see if the correlation was still true with a bigger audience. • Better categorize whether or not the amount of coffee that was being consumed led to better academic performance. • Rethinking questions being asked on the survey, some information wasn’t needed or used
