Introduction

The main goal for the experiment was to determine if the level of
income of an individual was most likely to incorporate art into their career.
The result of this experiment were very important because it helped us
determined if higher level income of an individual would later in life
incorporate art into their career or not. By this finding we are able to
determine and predict if an individual will incorporate art into their career
based on their income level. The results were collected by filling out a survey
which were given out to friends, family, coworker and random people on or
close to Portland State University campus. Based on what people had answer
in each question on the survey we put all of answer together to obtain a
better result.
Methods/Participants
Based on the 42 participants in this survey only 40 reported their age.
Out of those 40 participant that reporter the youngest person was 18, and
the oldest person is 31, (M=20.80, SD=3.148). Out of the 41 participant
(57.7) that reported their age, 14 were male (19.7), 23 were female (32.4), 1
was transgender (1.4), 2 didnt participate (2.8), 1 was other (1.4). Out of the
40 (56.3) participants that reported their race, 25 were Caucasian (35.2), 1
was African American (1.4), 3 were Latino (4.2), 3 were Asian (4.2), 7 were
mixed (9.9), and 1 was other (1.4).
Results

Chi-Squared Test of Independence

A chi-square test of independence was used to evaluate the relationship between income levels in
the intention of incorporating art into someones career. (See figure 1). We found an insignificant
relationship between the income level of a person and their intention to incorporate art in their
career, 2(1, N=33) = .02, p =.886. Essentially, there was no significance difference in the
intensions to not incorporate art in their career based on their income level. However, an
implication to take note of is that the sample size was a bit too small to have enough explanatory
power, the data shows a significance difference in the intension to incorporate art in their career
based in their income level. In contrast to the hypothesis the data shows that 73.7% of those who
earn less than $1,000 a month intent to incorporate art in their career, whereas only 26.3% of
those who earn more than $1000 a month intent to incorporate art in their career.

Independent Sample t-test

An independent-samples t-test was conducted to evaluate the hypothesis that the participants
who earned more than $1,000 per month were going to be more likely to incorporate art into
their career because they would have more exposure to art based on their income level. Contrary
to this hypothesis, the participants who earned less than a $1,000 per month (M = 3.08, SD =
1.613) than the participants who earned more than $1,000 per month (M = 3.56, SD = 1.236),
t(n) = 2.43, p = .02. The hypothesis was not supported by the data because there was no
significance difference between the participants intention of incorporating art into their career
based on their income.

Discussion
The results showed that there was no significance difference in income level of an
individual and their intension of incorporating art into their career. This results are very
important because it answer the question that started the whole experiment. Even though based
on the results we see that there is no significance difference in the income level of an individual
and their intension of incorporating art into their career, the finding cant be fully reliable due to
the sample size. The sample size in the experiment was very small to even make a significance
difference between the income level of an individual and their intension of incorporating art in to
their career. Also the sample size wasnt too random, which mean that the results collected cant
be used to distinguish a whole group on people. For future research more data should be
collected to get better results and the sample size should be greater to have more variety and
easier to find if there is a significance difference or not between the two groups; group A,
individuals with an income of $1,000 or less and group B, individual with an income of $1,000
or more.
