To determine which bar in the comparative bar chart would be the tallest, we need to analyze the data provided for both cats and dogs. Specifically, we are looking at the number of cats and dogs that passed and failed to see which value is the highest:
[tex]\[
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline & Passed & Failed \\
\hline Cats & 24 & 30 \\
\hline Dogs & 26 & 28 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\][/tex]
1. Identify values for each category:
- Cats who passed: 24
- Cats who failed: 30
- Dogs who passed: 26
- Dogs who failed: 28
2. Compare all values to find the highest number:
- Cats who passed: 24
- Cats who failed: 30
- Dogs who passed: 26
- Dogs who failed: 28
3. Determine the highest value:
- Compare 24, 30, 26, and 28.
- The highest value is 30.
4. Match the highest value to its corresponding category:
- 30 corresponds to Cats who failed.
Thus, the tallest bar in the comparative bar chart will represent:
- B. Cats who failed
So, the answer is:
B. Cats who failed
