1. Zombie Culture
2. Some zombie walks are intended to contribute to a specific charity. When few people attend a zombie walk, less money is raised for the charity.
For example, money raised this year by the Houston Zombie Walk Downtown went to three Houston charities: The Houston's Children's Charity, Spay/Houston, and Dove Key Ranch Wildlife Rehab.
“It’s important because it is number one, going to raise a lot of money for the charities that we’re supporting, because it is such a pop culture phenomenon right now.”
-Darren Tompkins, the founder and president of Zombie Walk
"Events like this allow people to express themselves and still remain charitable."
-Lady Cocchia, Zombie Walk's Executive Director
3. If we are able to get more people to participate in Zombie Walks, then more money would be raised for charities.
4. If I were to perform an experiment based off of this hypothesis, I would probably want to find out what age or population has participated the most in past zombie events and try to figure out a way to get more participants. I would have to collect the data from past zombie walks using the website to find out more information about who attended and what age they were and how much money they had donated. That way I could gain a better understanding of where to look for more participants for future zombie walks.
