I asked this question to find out the gender of people that would be answering my questionnaire. This allowed me to get a general idea if any factors would dominate my results. Also having an idea of the gender would allow for me to know if any results could be affected because of the sex chosen. I decided to go with an equal amount of each sex as I would get an even amount of results for each gender. Of 20 people I asked to male students and 10 female students. This was because I wanted an equal amount of genders so that my research was fair.
