■If applicable, what would you put as your independent and dependent variables?My independent variable would be the metro card and the dependent would be the cost.
■Give a hypothesis about what you think you might find.My hypothesis is that the monthly metro card would be more beneficial than buying a single ride metro card everytime.
■What might be the benefits and implications of this study?People who commute or travel a lot in the city would gain from this study to know which metro card is best for them.
■Please reflect on the process of designing this experiment. What were the challenges you faced?
A challenge you can face is that you have to record everytime you use your metro card and sometimes be in a rush and forget to record it.
