Our data showed that the majority of people listened to music while studying as well as felt that doing so had positive effects on their focus. Using just this information we could come to the conclusion that yes, listening to music does help you focus while studying. However there would be a few issues with this, firstly, we only looked at the information of 49 people, secondly, many of the academic papers we looked at had conflicting results on whether or not its actually beneficial, and finally, these answers are perception not actually tested facts. Another issue with the data not be a definitive yes or no is that many people who took the survey said that they listened to music while studying or doing homework for certain subjects but not others.
