Hi Pelin, let's solve this together. We need to find the most responsible student by looking at how often they follow classroom rules.
Determining the Most Responsible Student
Let's look at the behaviors that show responsibility. These are keeping the desk tidy and arriving on time. We want high frequencies like always or usually for these.
Positive Behaviors
- Keeping the desk tidy
- Arriving on time
On the other hand, running in corridors and talking noisily are negative behaviors. A responsible student should do these never or rarely.
Negative Behaviors
- Running in the corridors
- Talking noisily
Let's check the students one by one. First, Amy. She often keeps her desk tidy and usually arrives on time. She sometimes runs in corridors and never talks noisily. She is fairly good, but let's see if anyone is better.
| Student | Tidy | Running | On Time | Noisy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amy | Often | Sometimes | Usually | Never |
Now let's look at Sue. While she always keeps her desk tidy, she usually runs in the corridors. That is not very responsible.
