Question 3 • CR_(AQR)_Advanced Quantitative Reasoning A_2111_SAISD 25-26

Which segmented bar graph shows that 35% of 10- to 13-year-old girls wear glasses or contacts, while only 21% of 6- to 9-year-old girls wear glasses or contacts?

Answer

A segmented bar graph titled Girls' Use of Glasses by Age has 6 to 9 years old, 10 to 13 years old, and 14 to 17 years old on the x-axis, and percent on the y-axis. 6 to 9 years old: A bar segment labeled glasses or contacts goes from 0 to 20 percent; no glasses, 20 to 100 percent. 10 to 13 years old: glasses or contacts, 0 to 35 percent; no glasses, 35 to 100 percent. 14 to 17 years old: glasses or contacts, 0 to 50 percent; no glasses, 50 to 100 percent.

Glasses or contacts: a bar segment labeled 6 to 9 years old goes from 0 to 20 percent; 10 to 13 years old, 20 to 50 percent; 14 to 17 years old, 50 to 100 percent. No glasses: 6 to 9 years old, 0 to 40 percent; 10 to 13 years old, 40 to 75 percent; 14 to 17 years old, 75 to 100 percent.

Explanation

The graph should show the “glasses or contacts” segment reaching about 21% for girls ages 6 to 9 and 35% for girls ages 10 to 13. Choice A shows those segments at 20% and 35%, respectively; 20% is the closest displayed value to 21%. Choice D reverses the pattern, and B and C show age groups within glasses/no-glasses categories rather than the percentage wearing glasses in each age group.
