The chart above categorizes the survey respondents into four categories for the amount of sleep they got (less than 4 hours of sleep, 4-6 hours of sleep, 6-8 hours of sleep, 8-10 hours of sleep, and 10 or more hours of sleep). Most males get between six to eight hours of sleep, while the the second largest group (males with eight to ten hours of sleep) made up 12% less than them.with the category of eight to ten hours right behind. The other categories made up a low percentage of the respondents.
To interpret the graph, please note that the x-axis represents the categorical data of how much sleep they got, while the y-axis represents the proportion of respondents that were in that category.
This chart is similar to the male on the left. They are very similar, however, there is a greater proportion of women that get an average amount of sleep. From our survey, there were more women that took took it than men, which allowed for the data we collected to be closer to what the true distribution of highschool women's sleep than men.
The graphs below are using the CDC dataset instead of our dataset from AAE students. This is to take a look at how AAE students are sleeping compared to students around the whole nation.
These graphs show us that AAE students represent the national highschool student in sleep. This is because there is very little difference in the CDC graph (below) and the AAE graph (above).
