Answer:
The number of the class containing the largest score can be found in frequency 24 and the class is 98 - 103
For the third class 78 - 83 ; the upper limit = 83
The class width for this histogram 5
The number of students that took the exam simply refers to the frequency is 84
The percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 is 53%
Step-by-step explanation:
The objective of this question is to use the following histogram that shows the exam scores for a Pre-algebra class to answer the question given:
NOW;
The table given in the question can be illustrated as follows:
S/N Class Score Frequency
1 68 - 73 70.5 0
2 73 - 78 75.5 4
3 78 - 83 80.5 8
4 83 - 88 85.5 12
5 88 - 93 90.5 16
6 93 - 98 95.5 20
<u>7 98 - 103 100.5 24 </u>
TOTAL: 84
<u> </u>
<u />
a) The number of the class containing the largest score can be found in frequency 24 and the class is 98 - 103
b) For the third class 78 - 83 ; the upper limit = 83 ( since the upper limit is derived by addition of 5 to the last number showing in the highest value specified by the number in the class interval which is 78 ( i.e 78 + 5 = 83))
c) The class width for this histogram 5 ; since it is the difference between the upper and lower boundaries limit of the given class.
So , from above the difference in any of the class will definitely result into 5
d) The number of students that took the exam simply refers to the frequency ; which is (0+4+8+12+16+20+24) = 84
e) Lastly; the percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 is ;
⇒
= 0.5238095 × 100
= 52.83
To the nearest percentage ;the percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 is 53%
