Bivariate Hypothesis: The age of a person affects their liking for rap music. As a person gets

older, they do not like rap music. A larger percentage of respondents who are 18-29 dislike rap

music compared to the respondents who do like rap music. Overall the number of respondents

will dislike rap music more than those respondents who like it.

Bivariate Discussion: My findings were similar to my hypothesis. As an individual becomes

older, they do not prefer to listen to rap music. As the number decreases for the amount of

respondents that dont like rap music, the percentage decreases for the respondents who are 40

and older. Due to the fact that most people 40 and older begin to become hard at hearing, they

are unwilling to listen to music that they may not understand.

both tables, the percentage of respondents 40 and older will be relatively stable with the bivariate

table.

Multivariate Discussion: My findings were also similar to my multivariate hypothesis. There

were more black respondents who said they like rap music in comparison to white respondents. I

expected these results rap music is concentrated within the black community than the white

community. There were still more black people who disliked rap music than those who did.
