Question

interpreting a graph about participation in team sports
why kids participate in fewer team sports (% of responses)
no longer like the sport(s) 17
lack of time 15
no drive or interest/laziness 14
financial reasons 13
program no longer available 6
too much travel involved 5
health issues 3
concerned about injuries 2
which comparison is supported by the graph?
○ more kids are not participating due to concerns over injuries than canceled programs.
○ more kids are not participating due to travel time than having no drive or interest.
○ more kids are not participating due to lack of time than no longer liking the sport(s).
○ more kids are not participating due to financial reasons than health issues

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option by comparing the percentages from the graph:

• Option 1: "Concerned about injuries" is 2%, "Program no longer available (canceled programs)" is 6%. 2 < 6, so this is false.
• Option 2: "Too much travel time" is 5%, "No drive or interest/lazy" is 14%. 5 < 14, so this is false.
• Option 3: "Lack of time" is 15%, "No longer like the sport(s)" is 17%. 15 < 17, so this is false. Wait, no—wait, the option says "More kids are not participating due to lack of time than no longer liking the sport(s)"? Wait, no, 15 (lack of time) is less than 17 (no longer like). Wait, maybe I misread. Wait, the fourth option: "Financial reasons" is 13%, "Health issues" is 3%. 13 > 3, so this is true. Wait, let's re - check:

Wait the options:

1. More kids not participating due to concerns over injuries (2%) than canceled programs (6%)? 2 < 6 → false.

1. More kids not participating due to travel time (5%) than no drive/interest (14%)? 5 < 14 → false.

1. More kids not participating due to lack of time (15%) than no longer liking sport (17%)? 15 < 17 → false.

1. More kids not participating due to financial reasons (13%) than health issues (3%)? 13 > 3 → true. So the correct option is the fourth one: "More kids are not participating due to financial reasons than health issues".

Answer:

More kids are not participating due to financial reasons than health issues (the option with this statement).
