Counting Cars

Counting Cars

Introduction

Mcdonald's has hired our company ran by Mallory, Rebecca, and Abby to determine which car brand goes through the drive thru most often to see which car company should advertise their cars and services on their drive thru food wrappers. Our hypothesis is that more Ford cars will go through the drive thru than any other car. If our hypothesis holds than Ford car companies and dealerships should be the ones advertising on the drive thru wrappers.

Materials and Methods

We are planning to visit Mcdonald's multiple times of the week. We will visit twice each time from 3 to 5. We will sit outside the Mcdonald's drive thru on Verity Parkway and tally up the cars from each car company. We plan to count each brand on a piece of notebook paper so we can visually see how many cars from each company are visiting the drive thru.

Results

Discussion

We suggest that Ford should advertise on the McDonald's drive thru wrappers because ford had the most cars that went through the drive thru. Our experiment may have error because we went on two different days in two different weeks. To get better results we may want to stay at McDonald's all day. To get even more reliable results we probably need to go to more McDonald's throughout the world and country. Variables that can change the outcome the dates you go and the number of times you go. Other things are what time of day you went, and also what part of the world you are located in.
