Final AP Statistics project, I need an idea for something (no real stats knowledge required, don't worry).

Doing a pretty simple experiment- seeing how easily peoples are swayed on a whim.

To be blind or deaf? Basically my control is a survey- I hand a sheet to x people asking them whether they would prefer to be blind or deaf. Blank sheet of paper with both options, they check one.

Then, I give out two other surveys to two other samples. One survey will have material on it (visual or reading, not sure) that is biased towards blindness, the other towards deafness.

Question is: any idea what kind of stuff I should put on each? Or if you have a more creative idea, feel free to send it this way.

You should make a ridiculous poll on this website and use that for your stats.

Haha, what population should I say this is representative of?

It's a sample from the young virgin men who are socially inadept.

Also don't forget that we are mostly gamers and artists, so blindness would be way bigger of a deal.

I'm going with something else for now, but now I'm curious. Should have made this a poll from the start.
