When doing our study, there were some unavoidable weaknesses that may have affected our study in a negative way. One weakness for our study method was people ordering more than one item. At one point one person was ordering six different items. To combat this, we assumed that the first item ordered belonged to the person ordering, because most people order their food first, before ordering the food that they will be taking home to their families, or back to work for their coworkers. Another weakness was that some customers were ordering salads or tacos; we just didn’t count these customers in our study.

            Extrapolation of these results to other Chipotle stores is definitely possible. With the p-value that we calculated, it is obvious that each gender has a preference when it comes to ordering a burrito or a bowl at chipotle. The lack of extraneous factors allows for us to believe that no matter what chipotle you go to, it is more likely that a female is going to order a bowl and a male is going to order a burrito. This study can possibly be expanded to all chipotles outside of the North Olmsted area because the changing of location would not likely affect ones preference of bowl or burrito.

            For further studies, we can include tacos, salads, and other items ordered, to see if these items are preferred by either gender. To expand the study, we can include larger, more random samples, at multiple stores, on different days and at different times. This would lead to a more random and normally distributed sample, which would hopefully lead to p-value that supports our hypothesis even more.
