1. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the mean of 5, 7, 8, 10, and 15?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 9.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: The sum is 45, and 45 divided by 5 is 9.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

The sum is 45, and 45 divided by 5 is 9.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the median of 4, 6, 9, 11, 13, and 15?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 10.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: The middle values are 9 and 11, and their mean is 10.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

The middle values are 9 and 11, and their mean is 10.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the range of 12, 18, 7, 21, and 15?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 14.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Range equals maximum minus minimum: 21 − 7 = 14.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

Range equals maximum minus minimum: 21 − 7 = 14.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

A survey asks 30 students about a school event, but only students in one club are surveyed. What problem may result?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is The sample may not represent the whole school..

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Surveying only one club can create selection bias.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

Surveying only one club can create selection bias.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A scatter plot shows that as daily temperature rises, ice-cream sales generally rise. What type of association is shown?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Positive association.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Both variables generally increase together, showing a positive association.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

Both variables generally increase together, showing a positive association.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A box plot has a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 22. What is the range?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 18.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: Subtract the minimum from the maximum: 22 − 4 = 18.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

Subtract the minimum from the maximum: 22 − 4 = 18.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

A bag has 5 blue counters and 3 red counters. What is the probability of choosing red?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 3/8.

  1. Identify the task: Decide whether the question asks about ratios, rational numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, data, or modeling.
  2. Use the quantities: There are 3 red counters out of 8 total counters.
  3. Check the result: Review signs, units, operations, and whether the answer is reasonable in the situation.

There are 3 red counters out of 8 total counters.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

A data set has values 2, 3, 3, 4, 18. Which value is an outlier?
