AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C01) — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In.5 seconds, a race car can cover 100 feet. How far will the race car travel in a minute at this rate of speed?
- 12,000 feet (Correct answer)
- 11,000 feet
- 15,000 feet
- 16,000 feet
Correct answer: 12,000 feet
First, calculate the race car's speed in feet per second: 100 feet / 0.5 seconds = 200 feet/second. Next, convert one minute to seconds: 1 minute = 60 seconds. Finally, multiply the speed by the time in seconds to find the total distance: 200 feet/second * 60 seconds = 12,000 feet.
Question 2: Which of the following is a Boolean value?
- true (Correct answer)
- "hello"
- 3.14
- 42

The Amazon Online Assessment for Software Development Engineers typically offers a selection of modern, widely used programming languages for candidates to complete their coding challenges.

COBOL, while historically significant, is not a language commonly used or offered in such assessments for contemporary software engineering roles.
Question 4: How many bottles of Coke will Sandra need to purchase for an event with only 8 guests if she needs to purchase 9 for one with 12 attendees?
- 7
- 8
- 6 (Correct answer)
- 5
Correct answer: 6
This is a proportion problem. Sandra needs 9 bottles for 12 attendees, which means the rate is 9 bottles / 12 attendees = 3/4 bottles per attendee. To find out how many bottles are needed for 8 guests, multiply this rate by the number of guests: (3/4) * 8 = 24/4 = 6 bottles. Therefore, Sandra will need to purchase 6 bottles of Coke.

- Sunday
- Thursday
Correct answer: Saturday
To find the day of the week 61 days from Monday, we need to determine the remainder when 61 is divided by 7 (the number of days in a week). 61 divided by 7 is 8 with a remainder of 5. Therefore, we add 5 days to Monday, which results in Saturday.
Question 9: Find the missing number: 81, 27, 9, 3, ?
- 4
- 1 (Correct answer)

Correct answer: I value calculated risk-taking. I will weigh my options in an appropriate amount of time and then take action.
This response reflects Amazon's 'Bias for Action' principle, balanced with 'Are Right, A Lot.' Amazon values making timely, informed decisions and taking action, rather than excessive deliberation or inaction.

- 84
- 73
- 78 (Correct answer)

Correct answer: 78
To find the next number, observe the difference between consecutive terms in the series. 45 - 34 = 11; 56 - 45 = 11; 67 - 56 = 11. The series is an arithmetic progression with a common difference of 11. Therefore, to find the next term, add 11 to the last number: 67 + 11 = 78.

Therefore, it is expected that diverse disciplines would utilize ERCs to further technological advancements.
Question 40: The One-Child Policy in China has led to an increase in the country's overall wealth.
- True
- Cannot Say (Correct answer)
- False
Correct answer: Cannot Say
The correct answer is "Cannot Say" because the passage does not provide sufficient information to determine the relationship between China's One-Child Policy and the country's overall wealth. While the policy had significant demographic and social impacts, the passage likely does not detail its specific economic effects on national wealth, making it impossible to confirm or deny the statement based solely on the text.

The minute hand makes 2 right angles (90° and 270°) per hour relative to the hour hand. Over 2 hours: 2×4=8, or simply: the minute hand crosses 90° positions 4 times per revolution × 2 revolutions = 8 times. The minute hand forms a right angle with the hour hand approximately 44 times per day. Per hour: 4 times (at ~16.36 min intervals). 2 hours = 8 right angles.

- 1,920W
- 1,280W
- 1,536W (Correct answer)

Question 58: View this series: What number should come after 1.5, 2.3, 3.1, 3.9, etc.?
- 4.2
- 4.4
- 5.1

Correct answer: 4.7
To find the next number, observe the difference between consecutive terms in the series. 2.3 - 1.5 = 0.8; 3.1 - 2.3 = 0.8; 3.9 - 3.1 = 0.8. The series is an arithmetic progression with a common difference of 0.8. Therefore, to find the next term, add 0.8 to the last number: 3.9 + 0.8 = 4.7.
Question 59: I believe I have a loud voice of self-criticism.
