Counting the number of participants with a score of less than 40, we can see that there are 18 bars to the left of the 40 mark on the x-axis. Therefore, the number of participants who scored less than 40 is 18. The histogram shows that the bar for scores below 40 is directly above the number 18 on the x-axis. Therefore, there were 18 participants who scored fewer than 40.
