blank box
submit
work it out

Explanation:

Step1: Count X's for each number

• Number 1: Count the X's. Let's say there are, for example, 7 X's (from the plot, visually).
• Number 2: Count the X's. Visually, it has more than number 1. Let's assume from the plot, number 2 has the most X's.
• Number 3: No X's (from the plot, as the column for 3 has no X's).
• Number 4: 2 X's (from the plot).
• Number 5: 1 X (from the plot).

Step2: Identify the maximum count

Among the counts for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, the number with the highest number of X's (votes) is 2.

Answer:

2
