Independent Project intro

For my project I will be looking at who uses hand gestures more while on the phone. I plan on conducting this project while at a grocery store. I will be observing four different groups, youth (14-25). Middle aged (30-40), and elder (50-60). I will observe each call for one minute and see if they ever use hand gestures and right down my observations. My independent will be the ages I use, the conditions with be youth (14-25), middle aged (30-40), and elder (50-60), and the dependent variable is the hand gestures. I will make sure to have a timer in order to measure the time the person is on the phone and recorded if they used any hand gestures or not. I will be calculating the mean of each group and hopefully I will be able to find the sum of squares, mean square, degree of freedom and comparing my results. I am worried I wot get enough of the elder for this project, but I hopefully I get what I need in order to do this project.
