Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

The frequency table shows the chemistry exam scores for a class. Display the data in a histogram. Describe the distribution.

5

2

Step

Histogram:
We will plot:
X-axis: Score ranges (1, 2, 3, and 4)
Y-axis: Number of students.

3

Step

Description of Distribution:
Shape: The distribution appears to be skewed right. Most students scored in the higher score ranges (3 and 4), with fewer students in the lowest range (1) and none in range 2
Center: The bulk of the data is centered around score ranges 3 and 4
Spread: The scores are spread from range 1 to range 4, with no students in the second range
Peaks: The highest peak is at score range 4, indicating that most students fall into this category.

4

Step

This description matches option 2’s indication that the distribution is correct. Let’s now plot the histogram for better visualization.

5.1

5

Step

The histogram above displays the distribution of the chemistry exam scores. From the histogram, we can describe the distribution as follows:
Shape: The distribution is skewed right. This is indicated by the majority of students scoring in the higher ranges (3 and 4)
Center: Most students scored in the score ranges 3 and 4
Spread: Scores are distributed across four score ranges, with no students in score range 2
Peaks: The peak of the distribution is at score range 4, showing that the highest number of students fall into this range.

6

Step

Therefore, the description confirms that the histogram data is represented accurately by option 2.

7

Choice.A

This indicates that 3 students scored within the first score range

3

8

Choice.B

This is particularly important because it highlights the fact that there are no students in the second score range, which is a key feature of the distribution and can significantly affect the shape and interpretation of the histogram. This absence is crucial in describing the distribution, thus making option 2 (0 students) the correct answer for describing the data distribution as shown

0

9

Choice.C

This means that there are 5 students in one of the score ranges. In the histogram, this corresponds to the third score range

5

10

Choice.D

There are 7 students in the fourth score range, so the bar corresponding to "4" reaches up to 7 on the Y-axis
