Use the following graph to answer the question below:
Which student's score improved the most between the midterm and final exams?
person( INDEX + 1 )'s final exam bar is taller than his( INDEX + 1 )
midterm bar, so person( INDEX + 1 ) improved his( INDEX + 1 ) score. His( INDEX + 1 ) midterm score was
MIDTERM[ INDEX ]
and his( INDEX + 1 ) final exam score was FINAL[ INDEX ]
, so
he( INDEX + 1 ) improved by IMPROVEMENT[ INDEX ]
points.
person( INDEX + 1 )'s final exam bar is shorter than his( INDEX + 1 ) midterm bar, so person( INDEX + 1 ) did not improve his( INDEX + 1 ) score.
person( INDEX + 1 )'s final exam bar is the same height as his( INDEX + 1 ) midterm bar, so person( INDEX + 1 ) did not improve his( INDEX + 1 ) score.
MOST_IMPROVED improved his( MOST_IMPROVED_IDX + 1 ) score the most, scoring BEST_IMPROVEMENT
more points
on his( MOST_IMPROVED_IDX + 1 ) final exam than on his( MOST_IMPROVED_IDX + 1 ) midterm.
By how many points did STUDENT's score improve from the midterm to the final exam?
Find the two bars for STUDENT.
Compare the height of STUDENT's blue bar to the scale on the left to find his( INDEX + 1 ) midterm score.
The bar's height is halfway between MIDTERM[ INDEX ] - 5
and MIDTERM[ INDEX ] + 5
, so
STUDENT earned MIDTERM[ INDEX ]
points on the midterm.
Compare the height of STUDENT's orange bar to the scale on the left to find his( INDEX + 1 ) final exam score.
The bar's height is halfway between FINAL[ INDEX ] - 5
and FINAL[ INDEX ] + 5
, so
STUDENT earned FINAL[ INDEX ]
points on the final exam.
Subtract the midterm score from the final exam score to find out how much STUDENT improved.
\color{ORANGE}{FINAL[ INDEX ]} - \color{#6495ED}{MIDTERM[ INDEX ]} = IMPROVEMENT[ INDEX ]
, so
STUDENT improved by IMPROVEMENT[ INDEX ]
points from the midterm to the final exam.
How many points did STUDENT earn on the TEST?
Find the two bars for STUDENT.
Use the key to figure out which of the two bars shows the score for the TEST.
Compare the height of STUDENT's blueorange bar to the scale on the left.
The bar's height is halfway between ANSWER - 5
and ANSWER + 5
, so
STUDENT earned ANSWER
points on the TEST.
STUDENT earned ANSWER
points on the TEST.
How many students improved their scores from the midterm to the final exam?
person( INDEX + 1 )'s final exam bar is taller than his( INDEX + 1 ) midterm bar, so person( INDEX + 1 ) improved his( INDEX + 1 ) score.
person( INDEX + 1 )'s final exam bar is shorter than his( INDEX + 1 ) midterm bar, so person( INDEX + 1 ) did not improve his( INDEX + 1 ) score.
person( INDEX + 1 )'s final exam bar is the same height as his( INDEX + 1 ) midterm bar, so person( INDEX + 1 ) did not improve his( INDEX + 1 ) score.
Count the number of students who improved their scores.
