6.CE.8 (a)

A student investigated whether popular novelist John Grisham uses shorter sentences in his books aimed at teenage readers than in his more general books. She took a sample of sentences from two of his books: The Confession, aimed at general readers, and Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer, aimed at teenage readers. She then recorded the length (number of words) in each sentence. The sorted data appear below and in the fileGrishamSentences.
