To find the percentage of students taller than 68 inches, we need to add up the frequencies of the bars representing heights greater than 68 inches.
Looking at the histogram, the bars that represent heights greater than 68 inches are the bars for 70, 72, and 74 inches.
Adding up the frequencies of these bars, we get:
3 (students with height 70 inches) + 5 (students with height 72 inches) + 2 (students with height 74 inches) = 10 students
Out of a total of 20 students in the class, 10 students are taller than 68 inches.
To find the percentage of students taller than 68 inches, we calculate:
(10 students / 20 students) * 100 = 50%
Therefore, 50% of the students in Mrs. Henderson's math class are taller than 68 inches.
The histogram shows the heights (in inches) of students in Mrs. Henderson’s math class. What percentage of the students is taller than 68 inches? (1 point)
