The document summarizes a study that examined cartoon preferences (Spongebob Squarepants vs. Phineas and Ferb) of students from different year levels at a school. A survey found most Grade 7 students preferred Spongebob, most Second Year students preferred Spongebob, most Third Year students slightly preferred Phineas and Ferb, and preferences were evenly split in Fourth Year. Statistical analysis found no significant association between year level and cartoon preference.
