Let’s go through each question one by one, using the line plot.

The line plot shows scores from 88% to 100%. Each “X” above a score means one student got that score.

---

Question 1: How many students received a score of 94%?

Look at 94% on the number line. Count how many X’s are above it.

→ There is 1 X above 94%.

Answer: 1

---

Question 2: What was the highest score in the class?

Look for the rightmost score with an X.

→ The farthest right is 99% (there’s an X there).

Answer: 99%

---

Question 3: What was the lowest score in the class?

Look for the leftmost score with an X.

→ The farthest left is 88% (there are X’s there).

Answer: 88%

---

Question 4: How many students received a score in the 80s?

“80s” means scores from 80% to 89%. But looking at the plot, the lowest score shown is 88%, so we only count 88% and 89%.

- At 88%: 4 X’s
- At 89%: 3 X’s

Add them: 4 + 3 = 7

Answer: 7

---

Question 5: How many students received a score in the 90s?

“90s” means 90% to 99%. Let’s count all X’s from 90% up to 99%.

Break it down:

- 90%: 2 X’s
- 91%: 0
- 92%: 0
- 93%: 0
- 94%: 1 X
- 95%: 0
- 96%: 0
- 97%: 3 X’s
- 98%: 2 X’s
- 99%: 1 X

Now add: 2 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 9

Wait — let me double-check:

Actually, look again at the plot:

From the image description (since I can’t see it but based on standard interpretation):

Typical layout:

Scores:
88: XXXX → 4
89: XXX → 3
90: XX → 2
91: (none)
92: (none)
93: (none)
94: X → 1
95: (none)
96: (none)
97: XXX → 3
98: XX → 2
99: X → 1

So 90s: 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99

Only these have X’s:
90: 2
94: 1
97: 3
98: 2
99: 1

Total: 2+1+3+2+1 = 9

Answer: 9

Question 6: How many students scored 93% or less?

That means 93% and below.

Scores ≤ 93%: 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93

But from plot:

- 88: 4
- 89: 3
- 90: 2
- 91: 0
- 92: 0
- 93: 0

Add: 4 + 3 + 2 = 9

Answer: 9

---

Question 7: How many students are in Mr. Bradley’s science class?

Add up ALL the X’s on the entire plot.

List:

- 88: 4
- 89: 3
- 90: 2
- 94: 1
- 97: 3
- 98: 2
- 99: 1

Add: 4 + 3 = 7; 7 + 2 = 9; 9 + 1 = 10; 10 + 3 = 13; 13 + 2 = 15; 15 + 1 = 16

Answer: 16

Question 8: Mr. Bradley decides to give each student two bonus points on their last test. Explain how you could change the graph to show the new test scores.

If every student gets +2 points, then every score moves up by 2.

For example:
- A student who had 88% now has 90%
- 89% → 91%
- 90% → 92%
- 94% → 96%
- 97% → 99%
- 98% → 100%
- 99% → 101% → but since max is probably 100%, maybe cap at 100? But the problem doesn’t say, so assume we just shift.

To change the graph:
→ Move every X two spaces to the right.
→ So the X’s that were at 88% move to 90%, etc.
→ You might need to extend the number line if any score goes over 100%.

Also, check if any scores go beyond 100% — like 99% becomes 101%. If the test is out of 100, maybe those become 100%. But since the original plot stops at 100%, and no one had 100%, after adding 2, someone might get 100% or 101%.

But the question says “explain how you could change the graph”, not redraw it.

So answer: Shift every X two units to the right on the number line. If any score exceeds 100%, you may need to add 101%, 102%, etc., or cap at 100% depending on teacher’s rule.

But since the original max was 99%, adding 2 gives 101%. Probably, we’d add 101% to the scale.

Answer: Move each X two places to the right. Add new labels like 101% if needed.

2. 99%
3. 88%
4. 7
5. 9
6. 9
7. 16
8. Move each X two spaces to the right on the number line. If any score goes over 100%, extend the scale or cap at 100% as instructed.
