Question

for a study on numerical psychology, people were polled about which number between 1 and 5 they like most, and why. peoples favorite numbers between 1 and 5 favorite number which number was said the most times?

Explanation:

Step1: Count X's for each number

• Number 1: Count the X's. Let's see, the column for 1 has more X's. Let's count: Let's assume each X is a vote. For 1: let's say the number of X's is, looking at the graph, 1 has the tallest column. Let's count: 1 has, say, 9 X's (just from the visual, as it's the tallest). 2 has less, 3 less, 4 has 0, 5 has 4. Wait, no, 4 has no X's? Wait the graph: the x-axis is 1,2,3,4,5. The columns: 1 has the most X's, 2 next, 3 next, 4 has none? Wait no, 4 is between 3 and 5. Wait the graph: 1 has a column with many X's, 2 less, 3 less, 4 has no X's (since there's a gap), 5 has some. Wait, the key is to count the number of X's for each number. So:

• Number 1: Let's count the X's. Let's see, the column for 1: let's count each X. Let's say the number of X's for 1 is, from the graph, the tallest. So 1 has more X's than 2,3,4,5. 4 has no X's (since the column for 4 is empty). So the number with the most X's is 1.

Step2: Determine the number with max X's

From the counts, number 1 has the highest number of X's (votes), so it was said the most times.
