Let’s go step by step to solve each question using the tally chart.
First, let’s convert all tallies into numbers:
-
Cricket: “|||| |||| |||| III” → That’s 3 groups of 5 (which is 15) plus 3 more =
18
-
Soccer: “|||| |||| |||| I” → 3 groups of 5 (15) plus 1 =
16
-
Base Ball: “|||| |||| IIII” → 2 groups of 5 (10) plus 4 =
14
-
Basket Ball: “|||| |||| |||| |||| III” → 4 groups of 5 (20) plus 3 =
23
-
Volley Ball: “|||| || II” → 1 group of 5 (5) plus 2 =
7
Now we can answer each question:
---
1) How many children like Soccer?
From above: Soccer =
16
---
2) According to the above table, which game is the most popular among children?
We compare:
Cricket: 18
Soccer: 16
Base Ball: 14
Basket Ball: 23 ← highest
Volley Ball: 7
→ Most popular =
Basket Ball
---
3) How many more children like to play Cricket than Volley ball?
Cricket: 18
Volley Ball: 7
Difference: 18 - 7 =
11
---
4) Which game is the least popular among children?
Lowest number: Volley Ball =
7
---
5) How many children like to play Baseball?
Base Ball =
14
---
6) Do more children play Baseball or Soccer?
Baseball: 14
Soccer: 16
→ More children play
Soccer
---
7) How many children were surveyed in total?
Add them all up:
Cricket: 18
Soccer: 16
Base Ball: 14
Basket Ball: 23
Volley Ball: 7
Total = 18 + 16 = 34; 34 + 14 = 48; 48 + 23 = 71; 71 + 7 =
78
---
Final Answer:
1) 16
2) Basket Ball
3) 11
4) Volley Ball
5) 14
6) Soccer
7) 78
