The statement that can be made about families' preferred ways to travel to a vacation destination based on the information in the surveys is given by: Option C: More families prefer to travel by car on vacation than by bus.
The mode of the frequency distribution is the value for which the frequency is maximum (in simple cases).
Mode shows the value occurring frequently, so if choices are made randomly, mode can be taken as the central measure of value chosen.
For the considered case, the more the frequency for a transportation is, the more it is preferred.
From the specified data,
Plane Car Bus Total
Survey-1 17 27 6 50
Survey-2 21 20 9 50
From the first survey, Car is preferred (27 is way greater than any other value).
From the second survey, Plane and Car are preferred approximately same (the difference between 21 and 20 in comparison to total of 50 family is not significant, so can be ignored).
From the four options listed, only the second option is surely deduced from the given data.
Thus, more families prefer to travel by car on vacation than by bus.
