In a math class, 20 students stayed up late to watch the basketball game and 5 did not. What conclusion can you make?
None.
Maybe the 5 stayed up doing something else. Maybe the 20 students studied their math earlier.
Which of the following represents the sum of points p and t plotted below?
To draw a conclusion about the students who stayed up late or didn't, you can start by adding the number of students who did and didn't stay up:
Number of students who stayed up = 20
Number of students who didn't stay up = 5
Total number of students = Number of students who stayed up + Number of students who didn't stay up
Therefore,
Total number of students = 20 + 5 = 25
From this, you can conclude that there are 25 students in the math class.
Additionally, since you know that 20 students stayed up late and 5 did not, you can conclude that the majority of the students in the math class stayed up late to watch the basketball game.
