...
which data display would best show the data?
a would best show the data.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify scores ≥80

First, we list all the exam scores from the table: 52, 73, 96, 89, 69, 72, 81, 97, 53, 89, 68, 43. Now we identify which of these are 80 or greater: 96, 89, 81, 97, 89.

Step2: Count the valid scores

We count the number of scores that are 80 or greater. Let's list them again: 96 (1), 89 (2), 81 (3), 97 (4), 89 (5). Wait, wait, let's check the table again. Wait, the table has 4 columns? Wait, the table as per the image: let's parse the table correctly. Let's assume the table is 4 rows (maybe) and 3 columns? Wait, the scores are:

First row: 52, 73, 96, 89

Second row: 69, 72, 81, 97

Third row: 53, 89, 68, 43

Wait, no, maybe the table is 3 columns and 4 rows? Wait, the user's table:

Exam Scores

52, 73, 96, 89

69, 72, 81, 97

53, 89, 68, 43

Wait, maybe it's 4 columns (each column is a student's scores? Or 3 rows and 4 columns? Wait, regardless, let's list all scores: 52, 73, 96, 89, 69, 72, 81, 97, 53, 89, 68, 43. Now, scores ≥80: 96, 89, 81, 97, 89. Wait, 96 (≥80), 89 (≥80), 81 (≥80), 97 (≥80), 89 (≥80). Wait, is that all? Wait, 96, 89, 81, 97, 89. Let's count: 96 (1), 89 (2), 81 (3), 97 (4), 89 (5). Wait, but maybe I missed a score. Wait, let's check again:

First row: 52 (no), 73 (no), 96 (yes), 89 (yes) → 2

Second row: 69 (no), 72 (no), 81 (yes), 97 (yes) → 2

Third row: 53 (no), 89 (yes), 68 (no), 43 (no) → 1

Total: 2 + 2 + 1 = 5? Wait, no, first row: 52,73,96,89 → two scores (96,89) ≥80. Second row: 69,72,81,97 → two scores (81,97) ≥80. Third row: 53,89,68,43 → one score (89) ≥80. So total is 2 + 2 + 1 = 5? Wait, but let's list all scores ≥80: 96,89,81,97,89. That's 5 scores. Wait, but maybe the table is different. Wait, maybe the table is 4 columns and 3 rows, so 12 scores. Let's list all 12:

1. 52

1. 73

1. 96

1. 89

1. 69

1. 72

1. 81

1. 97

1. 53

1. 89

1. 68

1. 43

Now, scores ≥80: 96 (3), 89 (4), 81 (7), 97 (8), 89 (10). So that's 5 scores. Wait, but maybe I made a mistake. Wait, 96 is ≥80, 89 is ≥80, 81 is ≥80, 97 is ≥80, 89 is ≥80. So that's 5 scores. Wait, but let's check again. 96, 89, 81, 97, 89. So five students. Wait, but maybe the table has more scores? Wait, the user's table:

Exam Scores

52, 73, 96, 89

69, 72, 81, 97

53, 89, 68, 43

So three rows, four columns: 12 scores. So the scores ≥80 are 96,89,81,97,89. So that's 5. Wait, but maybe I missed a score. Wait, 89 appears twice, 96, 81, 97. So total 5.

Answer:

5
