Question

)The histogram shows the number of gold medals won by different numbers of students at an art competition. Which of the following statements is correct regarding the number of students and the number of gold medals won?

A histogram titled Gold Medals Won is shown. The horizontal axis is labeled Number of Gold Medals with bins 0 to 2, 3 to 5, 6 to 8, and 9 to 11. The vertical axis is labeled Students with values from 0 to 10 at intervals of 1. The first bin goes to 4, the second goes to 6, the third goes to 8, and the last goes to 2.

A total of 8 gold medals were won by all the students.
Eight gold medals were won by 6, 7, or 8 students.
A total of 8 students won all the gold medals.
Eight students won 6, 7, or 8 gold medals.

Answer 1

Last one:

Eight students won 6, 7, or 8 gold medals.

Explanation:

Eight students won 6, 7, or 8 gold medals

The values on vertical axis axis are frequencies.

Frequency corresponding to 6 - 8 is 8 which means 8 students won 6 to 8 gold medals, i.e 6 7 or 8 gold medals (because no. of medals has to be a natural number)

Answer 2

Eight students won 6, 7, or 8 gold medals.

Explanation:

We see that the third bin is labelled 6 - 8. Since this is on the horizontal, or x, axis, this means that the students in this "bin" have won 6 - 8 medals, which is the same as saying winning 6, 7, or 8 medals.

Because this "bin" goes to 8, that means that there are 8 students who earned this many medals.

Thus, the answer is D.

Hope this helps!
