The scores of a group of students in a music test are shown. If CF(x)CF(x) is the number of students with scores less than or equal to xx, find CF(6)CF(6).

Score 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
No. of students 3 6 10 8 6 5 2 4 12
Worked solution (try it first)
  1. CF(6)CF(6) counts every student who scored 6 or less, so add the numbers for scores 1 to 6.
  2. 3+6+10+8+6+5=383 + 6 + 10 + 8 + 6 + 5 = 38, so CF(6)=38CF(6) = 38, option B.
