::What Was This About?::
This was a survey asking students how much they spent on their personal appearance, while asking other such important data like GPA, how much they earn, etc.
The people surveyed were Deering High School Students.
Essentially, I asked random people of different races and ages to fill out a survey.

42 Females, 44 Males
11 Asian, 11 African/African-American, 3 Hispanic, 61 Caucasian.

::Correlations?::
::Analysis::
Based on the Correlations, we can Conclude that….
All the Stereotypes of the “Well-Dressed” having lower grades is WRONG
All the Stereotypes of the Individuals with better grades not caring for their appearance is ALSO WRONG.
All the Stereotypes of Individuals with higher allowances spending more on themselves is also WRONG.
Mean That People Earned Per Week: 95$
Mean That People Spent On Themselves TOTAL: 341$

Potential Sources of Error
Since this survey was given out before prom, this could have affected the results because female dresses usually cost more than a rented tuxedo. I only asked people that were currently at school, and this is probably why all of the GPA’s were so high. Also, many people could have been dishonest about their GPA’s.
