Bivariate Hypothesis: The younger the respondent is in age the more likely they are to
like rap music. Respondents between the ages of 18-29 had the larger percentage of age
groups like liked rap music. Respondents between the ages of 30-39 had a much larger
percentage of dislike in comparison to the younger age group. The age group that
produced the largest percentage of dislike was the 40+ age group.

like for rap music. Black and “other” race respondents had the highest percentages of like
between the ages of 18-29. White respondents between the ages of 18-29 had a majority
percentage for dislike. White respondents dislike for rap music percentage wise grew
larger with age. Black and „other‟ race respondents‟ percentage followed this trend as
well.
Bivariate Discussion: The younger the respondent is in age the more likely they are to
like rap music. 52.4 percent of the respondents between the ages of 18-29 liked rap
music. The percentages of respondents who disliked rap music sharply increased with
age. 61.3 percent of respondents between the ages of 30-39 disliked rap. While,
respondents in the age group of 40+ disliked rap music 78.5 percent of the time.
Multivariate Discussion: The race of the respondent has an impact on their dislike or
like for rap music. 81.6 percent of Black respondents in the age group of 18-29 liked rap
music. 83.3 percent of “other” race respondents also liked rap music. 44.7 percent of
White respondents like rap music between the ages of 18-29. White respondents dislike
for rap music percentage wise grew larger with age. Black and „other‟ race respondents‟
percentage followed this trend as well.
