Introduction
A survey is a data collection method used to gather information about individuals.
It enable researchers to collect a wide range of information and data efficiently. A survey
can be done through several ways such as e-mail, phone call, questionnaire, interview and

game addiction level of the students between adolescent aged 18 to 20 and young adult
aged 21 to 23 in Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus. The data collected from the survey
will be analyzed and summarized in an A2 sized infographic poster.

Conclusion
Through this assignment, we had learnt to apply the mathematics skills in
real life situation. We learnt the ways to collect, analyze data and later transform them into
statistical analysis.
After analyzing the data collected, we got to learn the game addiction level of
the students in Taylor’s University. For the students aged 18 to 20, the percentage of
game addicts is higher, which is 22% of the group. While there is just 18% of students
aged 21 to 23 are game addicts. This could be because the students aged 21 to 23 are
mostly consist of degree students who prefer to allocate more time in their studies than
gaming.
