Answer 1

Based on the bar graph, D) 2 more females favor sightseeing than males.

A bar graph is a pictorial representation of categorical data using rectangular bars with heights or lengths proportional to the values that they represent.

The bars of a bar graph or chart can be plotted vertically or horizontally and is sometimes described as a column chart.

The number of females whose favorite activity was sightseeing = 10

The number of males whose favorite activity was sightseeing = 8

The difference between females and males who favor sightseeing = 2 (10 - 8)

Thus, we can conclude that based on the bar graph, two more females favor sightseeing than males.
