Round your answer to the nearest percent.

Answer 1

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

7                98 - 103           100.5          24                            

TOTAL:                                                 84

                                                                                           

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 ;

⇒$\dfrac{20+24}{84} *100$

= 0.5238095 × 100

= 52.83

To the nearest percentage ;the percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 is 53%

Answer 2

Answer:

1. 98-103 (6th class)

2. 88

3. 5

4. 84

5. 52%

Step-by-step explanation:

Find attached the frequency table.

The class of exam scores falls between (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6).

The exam score ranged from 68-103

1) The largest number of exam scores = 24

The largest number of exam scores is in the 6th class = 98 -103

Step 2 of 5:

The upper class limit is the higher number in an interval. Third class interval is 83-88

The upper class limit of the third class 88.

Step 3 of 5:

Class width = upper class limit - lower class limit

We can use any of the class interval to find this as the answer will be the same. Using the interval between 73-78

Class width = 78 - 73

Class width for the histogram = 5

Step 4 of 5:

The total of students that took the test = sum of all the frequency

= 0+4+8+12+16+20+24 = 84

The total of students that took the test = 84

Step 5 of 5:Find the percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5

Number of student that scored higher than 95.5 = 20 + 24 = 44

Percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 = [(Number of student that scored higher than 95.5)/(total number of students that took the test)] × 100

= (44/84) × 100 = 0.5238 × 100 = 52.38%

Percentage of students that scored higher than 95.5 = 52% (nearest percent)
