From the Boys vs Girls graph I found out that my hypothesis was right. By looking at this graph you can see that more girls want to read more than boys.

Now that I have done some research, I think that my hypothesis that girls would like to read more than boys was statistically significant.
|
|
I found out from this survey that more girls want to read than boys. I think that beyond my study and in the real world, this means that maybe since most boys like the computer, maybe people could make books on computer CDs so that boys could have fun on the computer while reading.
|
|
I think if I did this survey again, I would ask different age groups to see how young kids start to like reading.
