ILTS 206 Sub-Area 3 Practice Question #04

A teacher asks students to look at the graph shown and indicate which fruits are preferred by more than 5 students, fewer than 5 students, and exactly 5 students. Which of the following is most likely the goal of the activity?

Students will need to read the chart to find the quantities 8, 3, 5, 7, 2, and 10. If the students then order the numbers from least to greatest, getting    2 < 3 < 5 < 7 < 8 < 10, it will be easy for them to see how many fruits are preferred by fewer than 5 students, exactly 5 students, or more than 5 students.
