The Purpose.........

Hmm..... Why did we want to do this study?

 

The purpose of this study is to determine if the scores of College Entrance exams for students at North Olmsted High school is related to the number of books they read. We were testing the claim that reading leads to higher scores. By seeing if there is a strong association between the number of books read and the test scores, we can support or reject the claim. If were able to establish that there is a strong association between reading and entrance exam scores, we can convince  parents to get children interested in reading earlier. If we are unable to establish that there is an association, we cannot make any conclusion on that claim. 

            Similar studies have been done; therefore in order to find out more, see our background.
