Data Collection

I asked 23 students in class how many brothers and sisters they had. The
following data charts reflect the information I collected.

Simplified Data
I made a second data chart to summarize the data so it would be easier to
convert into a graph.

Results
Figure 1 below shows the visual results of how many brothers and sisters
students have.

Explanation
Figure 1 shows that 8 students have 1 sibling, 8 students have 2 siblings, 1
student has 3 siblings, 3 students have 4 siblings, 1 student has 5-8
siblings, and 2 students have 9-12 siblings. Based off of the data you can
conclude that the majority of the class has 1-4 siblings.
