The question asks what the median reading test score was for ninth grade students in 2013. The median is the middle score, or the 50th percentile. The distribution of scores for ninth grade students is shown in the first pie chart. The chart shows that 16% of ninth grade students had scores below 65. The chart shows that 37% of ninth grade students scored in the 65−69 point range. 16% + 37% = 53%, which means that the 50th percentile is in the 65−69 point range. The correct answer is (B).
