Statistical Measures

Median: 13
Mode: 13
Mean: 13.58, Std. Dev.: 1.77

Interpretation
Read Time Amounts

As you get older you will have more read time. When you are between 9 and 11you have time. There is a very significant drop betweehn the age of 17 and 18 in reading time. Between 11 and 17 there is no significant change.

mean of read time

Statistical Measures

Pearson Correlation Coefficient: -0.03; p=0.51.
Values near zero indicate no correlation. Values near one indicate a high degree of correlation, while values near negative one (-1) indicate that the measures are opposite, ie that a high value of age tends to accompany a low value of readtime and vice versa.

Evaluation
The relationship is very different from what i had origninally predicted. And the realtionship between the predictor and the outcome is very significant.
Summary of findings
I found that there are about three different stages of reading time and ages where you are most interested in reading. Beyond my study there may be more stages and changes to be made but so far on my study nothing is significant. It does apply to the real world all of the time because you may have to at some point read when it is not for fun...
Conclusion
I would probanly have tried many more graphs. I would not have changed the survey at all. I would probably ask more people to o my survey. I could probably find out ju8st by looking at the library record.
