Pandora Project

Pandora Project

For my graph, it shows all of the questions with each participants response. I did this type of graph to see if there was any correlation between any of the answers. The questions that look to be correlating the most are the red and blue lines- average accuracy of songs chose by Pandora and how well the musical elements identified by the listener and Pandora corresponded. The conclusion I can reach from this is if you were better able to name why you liked your favorite artist, or knew why you liked them, you were more likely to enjoy other songs that sounded similar. There was the least amount of correlation between any of the lines and the green- how much did it bother the respondent that Pandora could predict your favorite music. Most people told me they didn't care, and Brita, the participant who answered 5, was very "freaked out" because it guessed her other favorite artists.
