Question

construct a frequency distribution of scores on a 60 - point test where a few students scored much lower than the majority of students. choose the correct graph below.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the problem condition

The condition is that a few students scored much lower than the majority of students. This implies a right - skewed distribution.

Step2: Examine each graph

• Graph A: It is a symmetric distribution.
• Graph B: It is a left - skewed distribution.
• Graph C: It is a uniform distribution.
• Graph D: It is a right - skewed distribution where the tail is on the right side (lower scores have fewer frequencies and higher scores have higher frequencies which is consistent with a few students scoring much lower than the majority).

Answer:

D.
