The chart shows the responses of a group consisting of 100 boys, 100 girls and 100 adults in Manchester, England, when ask whether they participated in four sports: basketball, swimming, tennis and football. From their responses, it is clear that swimming is the most popular sport among all groups, and that from these three groups, boys participated in the most sports.
In fact, three out of the four sports, boys were the major participants. The only sports not enjoyed by the boys surveyed was hockey, sport that the vast majority of the girls who were interviewed participated in. Other sports enjoyed by girls were tennis and basketball. However, only a very small number, approximately 10 of the 100, participated in football. We can conclude from this that girls in Manchester enjoy hockey a lot and that they don’t particularly like football.
