1. Which of the following best describes the data set below? 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9
- A. Uniform
- B. Right-skewed
- C. Bimodal
- D. Left-skewed
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Bimodal. A bimodal distribution has two distinct peaks or modes. In this data set, the numbers 2 and 8 appear more frequently than other numbers, creating two modes (2 and 8). Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Option A, 'Uniform,' describes a distribution where all values have equal frequency, which is not the case in this data set. Options B and D, 'Right-skewed' and 'Left-skewed,' refer to distributions where the data is skewed towards one side, which is not observed in this dataset. Therefore, the data set is best described as bimodal.
2. Which statement about the following set is true? {60, 5, 18, 20, 37, 37, 11, 90, 72}
- A. The median and the mean are equal.
- B. The mean is less than the mode.
- C. The mode is greater than the median.
- D. The median is less than the mean.
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To find the median, we first need to arrange the set in ascending order: {5, 11, 18, 20, 37, 37, 60, 72, 90}. The median is the middle value, which is 37 in this case. The mean is calculated by adding all numbers and dividing by the total count, which gives a mean greater than 37. Therefore, the statement that the median is less than the mean is correct. Choice A is incorrect because the median and mean are not equal in this set. Choice B is incorrect as the mean is greater than the mode in this set. Choice C is incorrect as the mode is 37, which is equal to the median, not greater.
3. Which proportion yields a different number for the unknown compared to the others?
- A. 2/3 = x/6
- B. 4/5 = x/10
- C. 3/4 = x/8
- D. 5/6 = x/12
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To find the value of x in each proportion, cross multiply. For proportion A, x = 4; for B, x = 8; for C, x = 6; and for D, x = 10. Hence, proportion D yields a different value for x compared to the others. Choices A, B, and C all result in unique values for x, but these values are distinct from the value obtained in proportion D.
4. On a floor plan drawn at a scale of 1:100, the area of a rectangular room is 30 cm². What is the actual area of the room?
- A. 30,000 cm²
- B. 300 m²
- C. 3,000 m²
- D. 30 m²
Correct answer: D
Rationale: On a 1:100 scale drawing, each centimeter represents one meter. The area of the room in the scale drawing is 30 cm², which means the actual area is 30 m². Choice A (30,000 cm²) is incorrect as it doesn't account for the scale conversion. Choice B (300 m²) is incorrect because it multiplies the scale area directly by 10,000, which is not the correct conversion. Choice C (3,000 m²) is also incorrect as it applies the scale factor incorrectly.
5. University Q has an extremely competitive nursing program. Historically, 3/4 of the students in each incoming class major in nursing, but only 1/5 of those who major in nursing complete the program. If this year’s incoming class has 100 students, how many will complete the nursing program?
- A. 75
- B. 20
- C. 15
- D. 5
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Out of the 100 students, 3/4 major in nursing, which equals 75 students. However, only 1/5 of these 75 students will complete the program. Calculating 1/5 of 75 gives us 15 students who will complete the nursing program. Therefore, the correct answer is 15. Choice A (75) is incorrect as it represents the total number of students majoring in nursing, not completing the program. Choices B (20) and D (5) are incorrect calculations and do not align with the information provided in the question.
