Deliverable:
I will produce a statistical conclusions by using the Z-test to determine if there is a relationship between people using taxis to take short trips in colder weather compared to warmer weather, and using taxis to take short trips on days with precipitation compared to days where there is no precipitation. I will also see if people who live in high income areas take shorter trips during colder days, and days with precipitation, compared to those who live in lower income areas. I will also run a model to see if there is a relationship between the variables.
