Example Question #3 : Describe The Nature Of The Attribute Under Investigation: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Sp.B.5b
Several students from Jones Middle School participated in a race this weekend. The gym teacher at the school displayed the time, in minutes, it took each student to complete the race in the chart provided. How many observations were made?
The number of observations made represents the number of students that participated in the race.The chart shows how long it took each student to complete a race. Each entry in the chart is how long it took each student to complete the race, so we can count up the number of entries to answer this question.
If done correctly, you should have counted entries; thus, students participated in the race.

Example Question #9 : Describe The Nature Of The Attribute Under Investigation: Ccss.Math.Content.6.Sp.B.5b
A teacher decided to start tracking the amount of time her students spent on homework each week. The data is displayed in the histogram provided. How many observations were made?
For this plot, the number of observations made represents the number of students that participated in the survey. Each bar goes up to a certain number of students, so we can add up the height of each bar to determine the number of observations that were made.
If done correctly, we should have found that students were surveyed.
