GCSE Maths: Read All About It

I will be writing up a hypothesis comparing the length of words in magazines and newspapers. I also have to design and carry out an investigation to test my hypothesis. I will use both sources to see which one uses more length of words. My results will be shown in various formats i.e. bar charts, tally charts etc.

Investigating further

I will be looking to see which of the two sources uses greater length in words.

My hypothesis

My prediction is that the magazine will uses more lengthy wordings then the newspaper..

Extension hypothesis

I predict that the magazine will have more words in sentences than the newspaper.

I can have various problems when researching the article to choose this is due to the fact that the articles may differ from one another. This usually happens due to the fact that the newspaper will contain the most recent updated information as the magazine may not.

The newspaper I have used is called The Sun and the magazine I will be using will be Shoot this is a football magazine. The articles are therefore about football.

Collecting Results

I will be using basic counting of the length of the letters and recording my findings in a tally chart format. I will be using in average about 100 words.
