A comparison of an individual's eye colour to their use of glasses

Hypothesis: The darker an individual’s eye colour is, the more likely it is for that individual to wear glasses, resulting in a positive correlation. Prediction: I predict that with darker eye colours comes the higher likelihood of needing glasses, because darker colours are known to absorb more U.V. light coming from the sun, therefore the individuals with darker eyes are more prone eye damage. The damage done to the eyes would then be corrected with glasses. Description of studies: In this study, an individual’s eye colour was sampled for the first variable (with no specific options given), and for the second variable, the individual was asked about whether he/she is wearing glasses, and this was conducted in the form of a yes or no question. Methods: For this study, our group sampled the individuals within the lab room, by walking around and asking everyone the necessary question that were mentioned in the description of the study. Meta Data: Our data was divided into two columns representing each of our two variables that were explored in the study. One for the question regarding eye colour and the other for the question regarding the use of glasses. The data for eye colour is qualitative meaning the answer is a description not a numerical value. While the data collected for glasses use is categorical, meaning there was two options to choose from (yes or no). The eye colour data is represented by various colour and no specific option was given, also the descriptive characteristics were allowed (dark brown, light brown). As for the data for glasses use, the answers were based on whether they wear glasses on that day or any other day and at home.
