Maths coursework on Statistics
Newspaper Comparisons
My Resources
The resources I am using for this coursework are a tabloid paper, a broadsheet paper, the tabloid paper is called the "News of the World", and the broadsheet paper is called "The Sunday Telegraph". They both are the same dates and they both have the same stories/information in them.
Aim / Hypothesis
My aim is to take one 100-word article from a broadsheet newspaper and a tabloid newspaper and compare their readability by seeing how the sizes of the words vary. In addition, I will be comparing how many paragraphs there are on the front page of each newspaper and I will be comparing images per page up to five pages for both newspapers. These three factors can make an impact on the type of person reading a certain newspaper.
My Objectives
* To collect sufficient and reliable evidence for my results.
* Present my data in a meaningful way.
* To interpret and analyse results and diagrams.
* To write a conclusion and analysis on the results I have acknowledged.
Method
I counted each letter in a word up to a 100 words and put my results in a tally. I then counted how many paragraphs there were in each article on the front page of each of the newspapers. In addition to this, I then made a tally of how many images there were on the first five pages of each newspaper.
