The line chart presents the adult population participating in seven different sports in a certain area in two separate years. Overall, it is evident that the numbers of the adults in 2017 were higher than those in 1997 with an exception for cricket.
Looking at the data in more detail, tennis was the most popular sport throughout the timeframe. Adults joining this sport slightly increased from 50 in the initial year to around 55 at the end of the period. Interestingly, the number of people playing football and rugby was similar in both years, starting with just above 30 in 1997 and growing to approximately 50 in 2017.
Moreover, there was a significant rise in the number of people joining basketball from 8 in the first year to over 20 in the last year. Conversely, people were less interested in cricket, resulting in a dip from 25 in 1997 to only 9 in 2017. The number of individuals participating in golf and swimming remained relatively unchanged with around 34 participants over the period.
