To determine how many students chose soccer, we need to interpret the given tally marks for soccer. According to the table, the tally for soccer is "HT".
Here’s how the tally marks can be interpreted:
- "H" stands for 1 student.
- "T" stands for 2 students.
Given that the tally for soccer is "HT":
- The "H" means there is 1 student.
- The "T" means there are 2 students.
Now, we add the number of students represented by these tally marks:
- "H" represents 1 student.
- "T" represents 2 students.
So, the total number of students who chose soccer is:
[tex]\[ 1 (from 'H') + 2 (from 'T') = 3 \][/tex]
Therefore, 3 students chose soccer.
