Based on the data below which student's score improved the most between the mid-term and final exam?
-
And so they give us this data in terms of a bar graph for each student.We actually have two bars that show the mid-term in blue and then final exam in red.
-
and they tell us that here,mid-term in blue,and final exam(in red)
-
-and sometimes this is called a two column bar graph,because for each student here,you have two columns
-
of data.So if you were to actually look at the data its self,you have the mid-term data and then the final
-
exam data.Now,they are asking us,"which student's score improved the most
-
between the mid-term and the final exams?"So,if we look at Jasmin right over here,might as well start with her since she
-
might as well start with her since she
-
is the most to the left.It looks like she definitely did improve from the mid-term to the final
-
It looks like the mid-term,if I had to guess,this looks like about
-
a,I don't know,looks like she got maybe a 72 or 73 on the mid-term,I'm just guessing.
-
I don't know the exact number.And looks like on the final she got,I don't know
-
that looks like maybe a 77 or 78,approximately.So she improved a little bit about
-
5 points from the mid-term to the final.The way they have given us this information
-
we don't know the exact numbers, because it isn't super precise
-
in terms of marking off the bars.
-
Hopefully it will become obvious when we look through everyone's scores
-
Lets look at Jeff.
-
Jeff actually did WORSE from the mid-term to the final exam.
-
Looks like he got over an 85 on the mid-term,and then on the final
-
looks like he got,about an 84 or 85.
-
So he actually went down.
-
So it is definately not Jeff.he definately did not improve the most
-
he actually went down.
-
Next,if you think about Nevin,
-
it looks like Nevin actually improved about the same ammount
-
as Jasmin.On both scores-I don't know if Nevin is a boy or a girl's name,
-
this person on both tests,this person did better than Jasmin.
-
But looks like the ACTUAL improvement is about the same.
-
Looks like they went from about an 83 to,I don't know,about an 88.
-
I am just estimating it,just trying to look at,look at this axis right
-
over there,and estimating what those scores are.
-
So Nevin and Jasmin right now, based on the three we have seen
-
are tied for the lead.
-
Now lets look at Alejandra.
-
Now Alejandra-and this is,ok,this jumps out.
-
She definately improved,DRAMATICALLY,
-
from the mid-term, to the final exam.
-
Looks like on the mid-term,she maybe got an 81 or an 82.
-
So maybe this was an 82 she got on the mid-term,
-
and then on the final,looks like she got about a 95,a 95 on the final.
-
So this dramatic improvement.
-
So right now,Alejandra is the leading contender
-
for most improved,from the mid-term,to the final.
-
And then,finally, Marta,
-
right over here,
-
looks like,she actually got worse from the mid-term to the final.
-
She scored in the mid 90's on the mid-term,
-
and then LOW 90's in the final.
-
So she is definately not the most improved.
-
So the winner here is Alejandra.
-
Alejandra,is the most improved
-
between the mid-term,and the final exam.
