Comparison of Text Messaging Frequency: In School vs. Out of School

DESCRIPTION

This project investigates the frequency of text messaging during school versus non-school periods. The hypothesis posited that text messaging would be significantly higher when in school. Data collected over three weeks before and after Spring break (while in school) was compared to three weeks during Spring break (no school). Results indicated a marked increase in text messaging while at school. A box plot and line graph represent the average messages sent and received, supporting the hypothesis that students communicate more via text when in school.
