When answering a problem
like this one, you need to be sure you understand
the problem and what you are being asked to answer.
You know that Cameron gathered data about his
fellow classmates and their favorite sports.
Making sure that you know how to read the bar
graph that Cameron used to show his data, you
will need to make some predictions and support
your predictions. You know that Cameron needs
to predict what the other 10 students may say
to be their favorite sport.
As you look over the graph, you notice that
the two sports that are the favorites of more
students is basketball and soccer. Knowing this,
you would predict that out of the 10 students,
3 or 4 may choose soccer and 2 or 3 may choose
basketball. With the remaining 3 or 5 students
you would most likely predict that they would
choose baseball, football, and then most likely
an "other" sport.
Be sure with a problem like this that you state
your answer clearly, for example, 4 students
would choose soccer, 3 students would choose
basketball, 2 students would choose baseball,
and 1 student would choose football. This would
be for the first point of your answer.
For the second point you would need to be sure
to support your predictions with a clear explanation
using the data in the graph as your guide. |
