var countChecked = function() {

  var n = $( "input:checked" ).length;

  $( "div" ).text(n);

};

countChecked();
$( ".hobbies " ).on( "click", countChecked );

Here the logic is that :

  1. Select the checkbox input by using the input selector of JQuery.
  2. Find how many checkboxes are checked by using: checked attribute of JQuery.
  3. Find the length of checked input by using the .length attribute.
  4. Show in div or whatever place wherever you want to show.
