Dr Chand is going to measure how much adults want to participate in social activities, such as team sports or attending a festival.
When Dr Chand conducts his study, he gives each adult a score out of 15 for how much they want to participate in social activities. He divides the adults into four different age groups and finds an average willingness to participate score for each group. These averages are shown in Table 8.1.
