Hi İlkayNehir, let's solve this question about survey data on favorite chores.
Favorite Chores Survey
Let's first write down the data given in the table clearly so we can examine each option.
| Chore | Boys | Girls |
|---|---|---|
| Cooking the dishes | 16 | 29 |
| Doing the laundry | 23 | 17 |
| Vacuuming the house | 34 | 14 |
| Taking care of the pet | 19 | 13 |
| Dusting the furniture | 8 | 27 |
Now let's check Option A, which states that preparing the meals is more popular among girls than boys.
*Option A: Preparing the meals (Cooking) is more popular among girls than boys.*
Looking at the table, twenty-nine girls prefer cooking compared to sixteen boys. Since twenty-nine is greater than sixteen, Option A is correct.
Next, let's examine Option B, which says boys are more interested in washing the clothes than girls.
*Option B: Boys are more interested in washing the clothes (Laundry) than girls.*
Doing the laundry is preferred by twenty-three boys and seventeen girls. Since twenty-three is greater than seventeen, Option B is also correct.
Let's continue checking the remaining options on a fresh board.
