SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the interpretation of a cumulative frequency chart representing Ms. Hernandez's science students' test scores. The chart indicates that 12 students scored between 65-70, and 13 scored between 65-80. This leads to the conclusion that only 1 student scored in the range of 71-80, as the scores from 65-70 account for the majority of the cumulative total. Misinterpretations arise when participants confuse cumulative scores with specific ranges.

PREREQUISITES

The frequency chart below shows the cumulative number of Ms. Hernandez's science students
whose test scores fell within certain score ranges All test scores are whole numbers.
Cumulative number Score range of students

$\begin{array}{lll}
&65-70& 12\\
&65-80& 13\\
&65-90& 19\\
&65-100& 21
\end{array}$

How many students have a test score in the interval 71-80

ok I guessed this to be 13 but ?
what about students who in the 65-71 range
I don't know of any equation to figure this other than just observation

12 students scored in the range 65 to 70
13 students scored in the range 65 to 80

wouldn't that mean only 1 student scored in the range 71 to 80 ?
 
sorry i don't get it
 
call it a "linear" Venn diagram ...

That helps :cool:
 
Why would you read "13 students have grades in the range of 65 to 80" and conclude that "13 students have grades in the range 71 to 80"? 65 is NOT 71!

13 students have grades in the range 65 to 80 but 12 of those have grades in range 65 to 70.
