A survey of 120 students examined their study habits. The data are shown in the table below.
| Hours studied per week | Number of students |
|------------------------|--------------------|
| 0‑5 | 30 |
| 6‑10 | 45 |
| 11‑15 | 30 |
| 16+ | 15 |
Write a formal report of no more than 300 words that includes: an introduction stating the purpose, a brief description of the methodology, a summary of the results (referencing the table), a conclusion, and two recommendations for improving study habits.
Answer Options
A.
**Introduction**
The purpose of this survey was to assess the weekly study habits of a sample of 120 secondary‑school students in order to identify patterns that may inform future academic support.
**Methodology**
A questionnaire was administered during homeroom periods, asking students to indicate the total number of hours they study each week. Responses were grouped into four categories.
**Results**
The majority of respondents (30 students) reported studying between 0 and 5 hours per week. An equal number (45 students) fell into the low (6‑10 hours) and moderate (11‑15 hours) categories, while only 15 students studied more than 16 hours weekly.
**Conclusion**
The data suggest that most students study very little, indicating a need for increased study time across the board.
**Recommendations**
1. Implement a structured after‑school study programme targeting students who study more than 16 hours per week, providing supervised sessions and peer‑tutoring.
2. Encourage teachers to assign longer, less frequent homework tasks to allow students more free time.
B.
**Introduction**
The purpose of this survey was to evaluate the study habits of 120 university students.
**Methodology**
Students were observed in the library for a week and their study hours were recorded manually.
**Results**
The table shows that 45 students study 6‑10 hours, 30 study 0‑5 hours, 30 study 11‑15 hours, and 15 study more than 16 hours per week.
**Conclusion**
Overall, the majority of students study a moderate amount, and only a small minority study excessively.
**Recommendations**
1. Reduce the amount of homework to prevent over‑studying.
2. Provide optional online lectures for students who already study more than 16 hours.

**Conclusion**
The data reveal that while many students allocate a moderate amount of time to study, a significant proportion (30 students) devote very little time, which may affect their academic performance.
**Recommendations**
1. Implement a structured after‑school study programme targeting students who study less than 5 hours per week, providing supervised sessions and peer‑tutoring.
2. Encourage teachers to assign regular, short‑duration homework tasks that promote consistent daily study, helping students to gradually increase their weekly study time.

Introduction
The purpose of this survey was to assess the weekly study habits of a sample of 120 secondary‑school students.
Methodology
A questionnaire was given during homeroom periods, asking students to state the total number of hours they study each week. Answers were placed into four categories.
Results
The largest group (45 students) studied between 6 and 10 hours per week. Both the 0‑5 hour group and the 11‑15 hour group each had 30 students, and 15 students studied more than 16 hours weekly.
Conclusion
The findings indicate that most students study more than 16 hours per week, suggesting they may be over‑working.
Recommendations
1. Create a structured after‑school study programme for students studying more than 16 hours per week.
2. Encourage teachers to assign long, infrequent homework tasks to reduce daily study time.
