There is two points for the students who studied more hours but get fewer marks, isn't that show contradiction on A?


nurakib

No because the statement says tended to receive higher quiz scores!

For example we both can get a score of 325 on GRE where you studied for just 80 hours while it took me more than 150 hours, No?

The number of hours that 10students studied for a quiz plotted against each student’s subsequent quiz score. The line of best fit (trend line) has been plotted for the data. Each dot represents an individual student.

Which of the following statements appear to be true from the data?

Indicate all that apply.

1) The data supports the statement, “Students who studied for more hours tended to receive higher quiz scores.”
2) No student who studied for fewer than two hours received a score above six.
3) The mode quiz score was greater than the median quiz score.
4) Some students received the same quiz scores as each other, even though the number of hours they studied differed by more than 1 full hour.


A. The data supports the statement, “Students who studied for more hours tended to receive higher quiz scores.”
The points have a strong positive co-relation, this means as the hours increase - the score too will tend to increase

B. No student who studied for fewer than two hours received a score above six
We have three scores (\(5.5, 6, 6\)) below the 2-hour line - which is not above \(6\)

C. The mode quiz score was greater than the median quiz score
Mode is \(8\) - three times
For the Median, arrange the scores in ascending order first - 5.5, 5.5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8.5. So, Median is \(7\)

Mode > Median

D. Some students received the same quiz scores as each other, even though the number of hours they studied differed by more than 1 full hour
Clearly a student who scored \(8\) studied for approx. 2.5 hours and another student who scores \(8\) studied for 4 hours

Hence, All the option choices are correct

can you please explain A once more? thank you :)

There is nothing to calculate.

The line has a positive slope or an upward trend.

The more you spend hours studying the more is the score higher

There is a certain correlation between the two variables: hours/score.

So We can definitely infer A
