Statistics

= __Wednesday 1 June 2011__ = = L.I. We are learning to conduct a statistical investigation and draw conclusions from our findings =

__Conclusion__

According to the survey students prefer to read a book about human friends having an adventure in the city.

Another thing the survey showed is that students prefer books that are written in first person and in present tense with an element of truth.

The results also show that students like reading books that make you feel like laughing and excited afterwards.

48% said that at the end of a mystery book that liked it when the mystery is solved and then another one is unraveled right at the end.

Also I have seen from the survey that most students like to read J.K Rowling and Twilight books which are both sort of fantasy.

__Recommendations__

A lady hears noises and go and try to see what it is she then gets lost in the country and then sees someone stealing then has to find out who it was.
