Question

Use the image to answer the question.

A histogram titled “Heights of Students in Mrs. Henderson’s Math Class” plots the frequency of heights. The histogram shows five bars of different heights representing the frequency of different ranges of height among Mrs. Henderson’s students. The x-axis is labeled “Height (in inches)” and ranges from 56 to 76 in increments of 4. The y-axis is labeled “Frequency” and ranges from 0 to 10 in increments of 1. The ranges and associated frequencies of height are as follows: 56 to 60: 1; 60 to 64: 6; 64 to 68: 10; 68 to 72: 7; 72 to 76: 1.

The histogram shows the heights (in inches) of students in Mrs. Henderson’s math class. What percentage of the students is taller than 68 inches?

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The histogram shows that there are 7 students with heights in the range of 68 to 72 inches. To find the percentage of students taller than 68 inches, we need to add the frequencies of the two bars representing heights greater than 68 inches.

There are 7 students with heights in the range of 68 to 72 inches and 1 student with a height in the range of 72 to 76 inches, totaling 8 students taller than 68 inches.

Out of the total number of students (1+6+10+7+1 = 25) in the class, 8 are taller than 68 inches.

Therefore, the percentage of students taller than 68 inches is (8/25) x 100% = 32%.
