Question

Homi · Accepted Answer

We collect and organize data. This finds the popular game.

Step 1 — Collect Information

Navya and Naresh should ask every student. They ask, "What is your favourite game?" They write down each student's answer. This is how they gather the raw information.

$\text{Action} = \text{Ask each student}$

$= \text{Write down their answer}$

$\boxed{\text{Raw data is collected}}$

Step 2 — Organize Information

Next, they need to organize the collected answers. They can make a table with two columns. One column will list the names of the games. The second column will be for tally marks. For each game choice, draw one tally mark. A group of 5 tally marks is shown as $\cancel{||||}$ . After all answers are tallied, they will count the marks. They will write the total number for each game.

$\text{Action} = \text{Create a table}$

$= \text{Use tally marks for each game}$

$= \text{Count the total for each game}$

$\boxed{\text{Tally chart is prepared}}$

Step 3 — Find the Most Popular

Now, Navya and Naresh look at the total numbers. They compare total numbers for each game. The game with the largest total is most popular. This game was chosen by the most students.

$\text{Action} = \text{Compare total counts}$

$= \text{Find the largest count}$

$\boxed{\text{Most popular game is identified}}$

Answer

(i) Navya and Naresh ask every student their favourite game. (ii) They record answers. Then they make a tally chart. (iii) The game with the most tally marks is most popular.
