1. There are 800 students enrolled in four allied health programs at a local community college. The percentage of students in each program is displayed in the pie chart. What is the number of students enrolled in the respiratory care program?

• A. 336
• B. 152
• C. 144
• D. 168

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the number of students enrolled in the respiratory care program, you need to calculate 19% of 800. 19% of 800 is (19/100) * 800 = 152 students. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (336), Choice C (144), and Choice D (168) are incorrect as they do not represent the correct percentage of students enrolled in the respiratory care program as indicated by the pie chart.

2. Express as an improper fraction: 8 3/7

• A. 11/7
• B. 21/8
• C. 5/3
• D. 59/7

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert the mixed number 8 3/7 to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number (8) by the denominator (7) and add the numerator (3) to get the numerator of the improper fraction. This gives us (8*7 + 3) / 7 = 59/7. Therefore, the correct answer is 59/7. Choice A (11/7), choice B (21/8), and choice C (5/3) are incorrect because they do not correctly convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.

3. Two even integers and one odd integer are multiplied together. Which of the following could be their product?

• A. 3.75
• B. 9
• C. 16.2
• D. 24

Correct answer: D

Rationale: When multiplying two even integers and one odd integer, the product will always be even. This is because multiplying any number of even integers will always result in an even number. Therefore, the only possible product from the given options is 24, as it is the only even number listed. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they are all odd numbers, and the product of two even integers and one odd integer will never result in an odd number.

4. In the town of Ellsford, there are approximately 1,450 residents who attend church weekly. If around 400 of them attend Catholic Churches, what percentage of churchgoers in Ellsford attends Catholic Churches?

• A. 23%
• B. 28%
• C. 36%
• D. 42%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the percentage of churchgoers who attend Catholic Churches, divide the number of Catholic churchgoers by the total number of churchgoers and then multiply by 100. (400 ÷ 1,450) × 100 ≈ 27.59%, which rounds to 28%.

5. The scatter plot below shows the relationship between the students' exam scores and their heights. Which type of correlation is depicted in the scatter plot?

• A. Positive
• B. Positive and Negative
• C. Negative
• D. No correlation

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The scatter plot illustrates the relationship between students' exam scores and heights. There is no correlation between these variables, as height is not expected to have a direct impact on exam scores. Therefore, choice D, 'No correlation,' is the correct answer. Choices A, 'Positive,' and C, 'Negative,' are incorrect because the scatter plot does not indicate a positive or negative correlation between exam scores and heights. Choice B, 'Positive and Negative,' is also incorrect because the scatter plot does not exhibit both positive and negative correlations simultaneously.
