Long words Mary was interested in comparing the mean word length in articles from a medical journal and an airline’s in-flight magazine. She counted the number of letters in the first 400 words of an article in the medical journal and in the first 100 words of an article in the airline magazine. Mary then used Minitab statistical software to produce the histograms shown.

Note that J is for journal and M is for magazine.
