Hours spent on activities by different age group in Someland

The table represents the hours spent on activities by different age group from teens to 70s and above in Someland. The hours spent on doing two out of all the activities shows a decreasing rate while the rest shows a fluctuating rate. (OV + CI)

The time spent on watching television slumped significantly at 30s, where it then rose at 40s+. Due to work commitments, no spare time is allocated for entertainments. (KF 1)

However, the time used on socialising with four or more people dropped by 93% with a constant rate along the age groups, as their responsibilities increases, lesser hours are spent on leisure. (KF 2)

Individual exercise shows the most inconsistent rate, from dropping by 50 at 20s to rising by 100 at 40s to falling by 150 at 50s, it then shot back up by 100 at 70s. Health issues based on old age might be the cause of the sudden boomed in hours. (KF 3)

The table indicates the reducing number of people doing group exercise from teens to 60s and above. The higher the age group the lesser the activities are carried out due to health restrictions. Government can alter this statistics by advertise the benefits of exercise through mass media. (Pi + Pii)

(200 words, minus title and brackets)

Orange : predictions/assumptions, (Pi)

Purple : proposal, (Pii)
