Gaming Survey - I could use some help.

I'm in International Baccalaureate Mathematical Studies, and I'm required to do a math project. Mine has to do with whether or not hours spent playing video games is independent of a number of other variables. Anyway, to collect the data needed for my project, I'm doing a survey, and if any of you could take a few minutes to answer these questions, it would really help me out. Thank you!

Survey: 1. On average, how many hours do you play video games per week? 2. On average, how many hours of sleep do you get per night? 3. What is your employment status? 4. What is your (romantic) relationship status? 5. How healthy would you say you are (scale of 1-10, 10 being very healthy, 1 being very unhealthy)? 6. How old are you? 7. What is your gender?

• 1. 10-20
• 2. 8-10
• 3. Full-time, out of home
• 4. Single-ish (have an asexual lifepartner?)
• 5. 6
• 7. 23
• 8. Female

Oh geez, man, I had to do this last year, only earlier in the year. I'd suggest something simpler with more concrete data, but to each their own.

Be sure to count for error such as this being the internet and people can be facetious sometimes just to screw with your data.

1. 5 hours
2. 6
3. Looking for work.
4. Single
5. 5
6. 19
7. Male

Oh, right, Male, 19, my health I say is a 5, and

1. On average, how many hours do you play video games per week?

• Twelve, give or take.

2. On average, how many hours of sleep do you get per night?

• Average? 8. Weekdays only? 6.

3. What is your employment status?

• Unemployed, student.

4. What is your (romantic) relationship status?

• Single...no, wait. Available. Yeah, that sounds more optimistic.

5. How healthy would you say you are (scale of 1-10, 10 being very healthy, 1 being very unhealthy)?

• 6

6. How old are you?

• 18 years, though I turn 19 on the 24th of this month.

7. What is your gender?

• Male.

Your answers to the first 2 questions are making me feel the need to seriously reevaluate my life.

My video game usage doesn't correlate with anything else because it just replaces extra time I would have wasted on the TV Tropes forum.

Anyway, do you want me to actually record such data to get an average, or just guess?

1. On average, how many hours do you play video games per week?

• On a good week with nothing but time to kill and nothing happening online, about 30.

2. On average, how many hours of sleep do you get per night?

• At least 5. When schooling, I attempt to go for around 6 or 7.

3. What is your employment status?

• Does secret shopper count? If so, then employed part-time.

4. What is your (romantic) relationship status?

• Happily in a relationship with a girl.

5. How healthy would you say you are (scale of 1-10, 10 being very healthy, 1 being very unhealthy)?

• I'd probably say 5. I used to be a 7, but then stopped going to the gym.

6. How old are you?

• 23 at this post.

7. What is your gender?

• Male.

Your answers to the first 2 questions are making me feel the need to seriously reevaluate my life.

1. 5-30, depending on how much time I have to spend out-of-home. Not much lately, so...
2. 6-7.
3. Currently unemployed (finishing up my dissertation, getting what would be an equivalent of an American Ph.D, I cheated by way of majoring in economics and having my research be about microtransaction and digital distribution pricing and their relationship with the medium of payment); but when I was fully employed, that didn't affect the gameplay time much, mostly sleep time.
4. In a relationship, a year and a half now.
5. 7.
6. 24.
7. Male.
Yes, I'm a sad excuse for a human being, I know.

@ Plumbum IB Math asks us to do surveys and do a lot of statistical math stuff to the data to show we know what we're doing and we write analysis based on the results of our data.

Basically it's one long annoying test of our skills.
