Standardized tests for certain subjects, given to high school students, are scored on a scale of 1 to 5. Let A represent the score on a randomly selected exam for subject A and let B represent the score on a randomly selected exam for subject B. The distributions of scores for each subject’s standardized tests are displayed in the table and the histograms. A 3-column table with 5 rows. Column 1 is labeled score with entries 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Column 2 is labeled P (A) with entries 0.18, 0.20, 0.26, 0.21, 0.15. Column 3 is labeled P (B) with entries 0.05, 0.14, 0.20, 0.18, 0.43. A histogram titled test scores: subject A has test scores on the x-axis, and probability on the y-axis. 1, 0.18; 2, 0.20; 3, 0.26; 4, 0.21; 5, 0.15. A histogram titled test scores: subject A has test scores on the x-axis, and probability on the y-axis. 1, 0.05; 2, 0.14; 3, 0.20; 4, 0.18; 5, 0.43. Which statement correctly compares the centers of the distributions? The center for the distribution of scores appears to be lower for subject B than for subject A. The center for the distribution of subject A is approximately 3, while the center for subject B is approximately 4. The center for the distribution of scores appears to be higher for subject B than for subject A. The center for the distribution of scores appears to be about the same for both subjects.
