1. What is the range in the number of houses sold per year?

• A. 20
• B. 25
• C. 29
• D. 35

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The range in the number of houses sold per year is calculated by subtracting the minimum number of houses sold from the maximum number of houses sold. In this case, the range is 42 (maximum) - 11 (minimum) = 31, not 29 as stated in the original rationale. Therefore, choice C (29) is incorrect. Choices A (20), B (25), and D (35) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the correct range of houses sold per year, which is 31.

2. How many quarts are in 1 liter?

• A. 1 quart
• B. 1.06 quarts
• C. 2 quarts
• D. 0.5 quarts

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to quarts, you can use the conversion factor 1 liter ≈ 1.06 quarts. Therefore, 1 liter is approximately 1.06 quarts. Choice A is incorrect because 1 quart is not equivalent to 1 liter. Choice C is incorrect as 2 quarts is more than 1 liter. Choice D is incorrect as 0.5 quarts is half of 1 liter.

3. If a box of 55 syringes costs $660.00, what is the cost of four syringes?

• A. $51.00
• B. $26.00
• C. $32.00
• D. $48.00

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the cost of one syringe, divide the total cost by the number of syringes: $660.00 ÷ 55 = $12. Therefore, the cost of four syringes is 4 x $12 = $48. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the cost per syringe or the total cost of four syringes.

4. Given the double bar graph shown below, which of the following statements is true?

• A. Group A is negatively skewed, while Group B is approximately normal.
• B. Group A is positively skewed, while Group B is approximately normal.
• C. Group A is approximately normal, while Group B is negatively skewed.
• D. Group A is approximately normal, while Group B is positively skewed.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. In a double bar graph, Group A is positively skewed, meaning its data is clustered on the left and has a tail extending to the right. On the other hand, Group B displays a normal distribution where the data is evenly distributed around the mean. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they inaccurately describe the skewness and distribution of the data in Group A and Group B.

5. A recipe calls for 5.5 teaspoons of vanilla. 1 teaspoon equals approximately 4.93 mL. Which of the following is the correct amount of vanilla in mL?

• A. 10.2 mL
• B. 12 mL
• C. 7.43 mL
• D. 27 mL

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert the amount of vanilla from teaspoons to milliliters, we multiply the number of teaspoons by the conversion factor of 4.93 mL/teaspoon. 5.5 teaspoons * 4.93 mL/teaspoon = 27.115 mL, which rounds to 27 mL. Therefore, the correct amount of vanilla in mL is 27 mL. Choice A (10.2 mL), Choice B (12 mL), and Choice C (7.43 mL) are incorrect as they do not correctly convert the given amount of teaspoons to milliliters based on the provided conversion factor.
