primary research

On my research i was very interested to see what genre of music people listen to, so i set a multiple choice question. I got a variety of results, the biggest choice was 'rock'. Rock music is a form of popular music which evolved from rock and roll and pop music during the mid and late 1960s. And the next biggest result was joint results between RnB, chart and an option i called 'other'. these genres of music are more popular types of music and more recent for example an RnB artist 50cent. 

For my second question i asked, 'How important is music in your life?' i did this question in the form of a scale, 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. and i got a number of results. The highest i got was on 9 and 10, so people think music is very important in their life, nobody said 1 or 2. I went round and asked the people in my class why they told me the result they said, i asked a person what picked 9 and she said its that important because she hears it everywhere, and if your in the mood a song can change your whole day. 

I set this question as a ranking question so people have the choice of putting it in an order of their choice. Many people in this graph chose the car, people may choose this because they use the car to get to places. The second highest was public transport, this may be most likely because most students travel to college on the bus/train. 

I chose to do this question as a multiple choice question, i asked 'Does music influence the way you dress?'. 60% said no and 40%. I asked this question because from my observation some people that listen to rock music mostly wear black, and that ties in with the genre of music. 

I chose to do this last question as an open question, because many people have many different opinions of music, the question i asked i asked was 'is their a certain song in your life what you relate to the most? and why?' and i got many responses, some you can see above, there was no repeated pattern in the songs people chose.
