Question

A student must have a score of at least 81 to receive a B on an exam. Which of the following correctly compares the numbers of students who scored a B or higher on the exams?

A. The same number of students scored a B or higher on the two exams.
B. One more student scored a B or higher on the second exam than on the first exam.
C. Two more students scored a B or higher on the first exam than on the second exam.
D. Two more students scored a B or higher on the second exam than on the first exam.

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

if you add up the people who got a b or higher on the first exam, you would get 9 people. If you add up the people who got a b or higher on the second exam, you would get 11 people. 11 - 9 = 2.
