A histogram is titled 'Exam Scores per Student in Mr. Hanley's Class.' The x-axis ranges from 40 to 100 by 10-unit increments and the y-axis ranges from 0 to 8 by 2-unit increments. The x-axis is labeled 'Exam Scores' and the y-axis is unlabeled.A histogram is titled 'Exam Scores per Student in Ms. Blach's Class.' The x-axis ranges from 40 to 100 by 10-unit increments and the y-axis ranges from 0 to 5 by increments of 1. The x-axis is labeled 'Exam Scores' and the y-axis is unlabeled.

Mr. Hanley and Ms. Balch gave an identical Algebra final exam to their classes. The histograms show the distribution of the scores for each class. In 3–5 sentences, compare the histograms and explain which class you think performed better on the exam. Use information from the histograms such as data skew as well as median scores for both classes to justify and explain your response. Don't leave this question blank, at least try!

Mr. Hanley’s scores are more spread out and include more students in the lower score ranges, so his class has a lower median and more low scores. Ms. Blach’s scores are clustered toward the high end (fewer low scores and more high scores), so her median is higher and the class shows less variability. Because Ms. Blach’s distribution is concentrated at higher scores and has a higher median, I would say Ms. Blach’s class performed better overall on the exam.
