2. Introduction
There are several choices I have when it comes to displaying my
results of the survey. I want to show my results clearly so that
they can be read quickly and easily; so they don't take up even
more of my time to analyse- so I have decided to use both pie
and bar charts- as they are the most recognisable and also easy
to understand for all ages.

3. Question 1
Do You Listen To
Music?

100% or 23 people
questioned, answered ‘Yes’.

4. Question 2
Pick Your Favorite Genre
Of Music
Pop

R&B
Blues
Country
Hip Hop

15 people answered Pop, 5 answered
Rock, 2 answered 2 and 1 person answered
Electronica
Electronica. Other responses included; Indie
Indie, Dubstep and Alternative.

5. Question 3
There were a huge variety of
responses that came through, they
are all listed on the next page.
The main genre of artists that
people answered was pop and pop
rock. I think this was mainly
because of the people I sent the
survey to. Because on my Facebook
and Twitter I have fans of artists
who are Pop/ Pop Rock of who I
also enjoy like listening to.
