The inequalities \(1.25 < x < 1.5\) can be represented by the scenario:
The point value of a test item is more than 1.25 points and less than 1.5 points.
This is because the inequalities indicate that the value \(x\) is constrained to be between 1.25 and 1.5, not including the endpoints, which aligns with the point values stated in the scenario.
