My Statistics Investigation

This data shows..
This is my survey on sports. I had to go around the whole school to ask them which sport would they like to play at lunchtime. Most of them picked rugby, the second most popular choice was soccer.

Next Steps..
Since the most liked sport was rugby, my next step would be to kindly ask the head students and the principal if we could organise to play rugby at lunchtime. If they were to say no to playing it every day, another idea would to be to play rugby on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday but only if you
have a spare change of clothes.
