A histogram shows the distribution of scores on a history exam. The x-axis represents score ranges (e.g., 50-59, 60-69, etc.), and the y-axis represents the number of students. If the bar for the 70-79 score range is taller than the bar for the 80-89 score range, what does this indicate?

A The lowest score on the exam was in the 70-79 range.
B More students scored between 70 and 79 than between 80 and 89.
C The average score for the exam falls within the 70-79 range.
D The exam was generally easy, with most students scoring high.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

In a histogram, the height of a bar represents the frequency (number of data points) within that specific range or bin. A taller bar means more students scored in that range.
