Statistics

=__ Thursday 2 June 2011 __=

L.I. We are learning to draw conclusions from our findings and make recommendations.

According to the survey 33% of kids like to read adventure books. The results show that most kids like main characters that are brave, strong, funny and aren’t evil. Another thing the survey showed is that kids at the age of 11, 12 and 13 like reading books that are in a city or in a country. Other results show that 49% of kids will judge a book by the look of the cover. Our survey also shows that 61% or 138 people out of 226 people like to read books were the main character is human. A key factor in our survey is that almost half of the people we surveyed like reading books that are set in present time. More of the results show that kids like main characters who are friends or who are enemies. Result’s in one of the graphs show that 64%of kids like to read books that are written in first person. Most kids like books that make them like laughing and makes them feel excited. Most of the kids we surveyed like a mystery that has been solved but then another one unravels. Lot’s of kids like books that have an element in truth.

Recommendation

There are 2 good friends and then an evil man. They all live in a city called California America. The good friends are called Dave, Michael and the evil man they know is called Georgie. Georgie has been in prison once for trying to kidnap and then suck Dave and Michaels blood out of their arms. Georgie isn’t a vampire but he is a dangerous person!
