Randomness:To make the polling as random as possible, each member made sure we interviewed a variety of different combinations of male and female with respect to being in honors or non-honors and whether they had any extra-curricular activities ranging from having a job, being in a club, or participating in a sport. We avoided polling people that were in our class and made sure we interviewed people during different times of the day.
Sources of Error:
Some possible sources of error in our polling were that we interviewed too much of our own grade instead of varying between the freshmen and sophomores. Another possible error was the wording of certain questions. Question 4 somewhat immediatly persuaded the interviewed person to say no probably because the question included the word "illegal" to it. If the question did not have that word, there might have been a difference in the results. Very few people answered "yes" to that question.
