In my mathematics coursework we are comparing two newspaper articles a tabloid and a broadsheet.

E.g. 57=5 spaces from the first word 7 from the next

2. We need to count the number of letters of each of our 50 words in each article and put them in a chart.
3. Next we need to calculate the average word length and analyze the results.
4. When I select words I will ignore

          Names of people

        Names of places

        And numbers

5. Now we need to draw up a tally chart for our results.
6. From the tally chart we need to draw 2 bar line graphs.

E.g.

7. Then we need to figure out the mode median range and mean.

Mode: most frequent number

Mean: largest take away lowest

Median: middle number

Range: add all up and divide by total amount.

RESULTS:

These are my results tables for my number of letters in a word in a tabloid.

This is my results table for the number of letters in a word.

        This is my tally chart for letter length in a word in a tabloid.

This is my tally chart for letter length in a word in a broadsheet.

This is my column graph for length of letters in a word in a tabloid.

The mode is clearly: 3letters

The mean is: 10 (to work out the mean I took the lowest from the highest from the word length so 11 take away 1 = 10)

The range is 5.18 (to work out the range I times the frequency on the tally by the word length and add then up so 1times1+6times2=13 ect.)

This is my graph to show number of letters in a word in a broadsheet.

The mode is clearly 2

The mean is 10

The range is 5.18
