Q. Tessa's class had a math exam where the grades were between 0 and 10. N(g) models the number of students whose grade on the exam was g. What does the statement N(8)>2⋅N(5) mean?Choose 1 answer:(A) The number of students whose grade was higher than 5 is greater than the number of students whose grade was 5 or lower.(B) The number of students whose grade was 8 is more than twice the number of students whose grade was 5.(C) There are 8 students whose grade was higher than twice the grade of another group of 5 students.
Understanding the problem: Understanding the problem: The statement N(8) > 2 \times N(5) means that the number of students who scored an 8 on the exam is greater than twice the number of students who scored a 5.
Analyzing answer choices: Analyzing the answer choices: (A) Incorrect because it talks about students scoring higher than 5 compared to those scoring 5 or lower, which isn't relevant to our specific comparison of scores 8 and 5.(B) Correct as it directly matches our understanding of the statement N(8) > 2\cdot N(5).(C) Incorrect because it misinterprets the statement as comparing a group of 8 students to a calculation involving another group, which is not what N(8) > 2\cdot N(5) indicates.
