Figure 1

Description:

From the figure, it can be seen that student spent an adequate time for
sport in week which is in range of 0-595 minutes. As mentioned in
introduction, if student spent more time on the category of sport, it
indicate the sport is popular.

Figure 2

Description:

The figure shows frequency of student against amount of time spent by

student to involved n sport. A higher reading can be seen in the lowest
part of the graph indicates that student spent less time for outdoor sport.
To compare between the two figures, a higher frequency of student can be
observed in indoor sports rather than outdoor.
