1 answer

To interpret the histogram presented in your assignment, you can compare the heights of the bars corresponding to the scoring ranges.

From the information you've provided, it seems like you have the following score ranges and corresponding number of people:

  • 0-4: 0 people
  • 5-9: 1 person
  • 10-14: 2 people
  • 15-19: 4 people
  • 20-24: 3 people
  • 25-29: 1 person

Now, comparing the ranges of interest:

  • For the score range of 15-19, there are 4 people.
  • For the score range of 25-29, there is 1 person.

Hence, there are more people who scored in the range of 15-19 points than those who scored in the range of 25-29 points.
