Task 1: The chart below shows the average hours spent per day in leisure and sports activities, by the youngest and oldest populations, in the US, in 2015. pxk2
The bar chart given illustrates data regarding how many hours were expended daily on recreation and sports by teenagers and senior citizens in the US in 2015. Looking at the chart, it is immediately clear that the highest daily hours were spent on watching TV by people aged 75 and over in the US. Another key feature is that the younger generation used the lowest amount of time for relaxing and thinking per day. In 2015, people aged 75 or older living in the US allocated 4. 5 hours per day into watching TV, whereas teenagers accounted for only 2. 4 hours, which was nearly a half. A uniform ratio was seen in the amount of time expenditure on playing games or using computers for recreation in one day by teenagers and seniors, which was 1. 1 hours to 0. 5 hours. Meanwhile, while seniors used 0. 2 hours per day for doing sport, the younger age group consumed more than 0. 4 hours, which was 0. 6 hours. Americans aged 15 to 19 expended only 0. 2 hours per day on reading, whereas 1 hour was the figure for reading of seniors. A similar ratio was recorded for time consumption of relaxing and thinking in one day by the younger age group and the older citizens, which was 0. 1 hours to 0. 6 hours. Meanwhile, expending time on socializing and communicating by the younger inhabitants and elderly people in the US accounted for 0. 8 hours and 0. 7 hours, respectively.
