Underage Smoking
I have often heard news reports about the rising problem of underage smoking. ... In which case, I have decided to conduct my project on the statistics of underage smokers within my own high school. ...
In addition to my previous interests, I was especially curious about smoking related to grade level. ... Considering the standard deviation was so small I could conclude that the grade level (9-12) did not make a drastic difference in the amount of underage smokers. ...
Throughout my studies, I have noticed, especially with the pie charts, that there are serious problems within my high school regarding underage smoking. I think that I have proven through my work that something seriously needs to be done inside our high schools to control or if at all possible prevent the increasing number of students that are being pressured by their peers into engaging in smoking. ... Optimistically, I am hoping that something will be done in the near future about underage smoking. Through my trial, I have concluded that the news reports are very true, and right on target when they say that there is a serious problem with the number of underage smokers in America today. ...
