  1. A pie chart shows survey results about favorite subjects: Math 30%, Science 25%, English 20%, History 15%, Art 10%. If 200 students were surveyed, how many chose Math or Science?

    Answer: 110

    Math (30%) + Science (25%) = 55% of 200 = 0.55 × 200 = 110 students.

  2. A standard deck of 52 cards is shuffled. What is the probability of drawing a face card (Jack, Queen, or King)?

    Answer: 3/13

    There are 12 face cards (3 per suit × 4 suits) out of 52 cards; 12/52 = 3/13.

  3. The table below shows temperature readings (°F) for a week: 72, 68, 75, 80, 65, 70, 73. What is the median temperature?

    Answer: 72

    Sorted values: 65, 68, 70, 72, 73, 75, 80 — the middle (4th) value is 72.

  4. A double bar graph compares male and female enrollment in two programs. Program A: 120 males, 80 females. Program B: 90 males, 110 females. In which program do females outnumber males, and by how much?

    Answer: Program B, by 20

    In Program B, females (110) outnumber males (90) by 110 − 90 = 20.

  5. A coin is flipped 3 times. What is the probability of getting exactly 2 heads?

    Answer: 3/8

    The combinations with exactly 2 heads are HHT, HTH, THH — that's 3 out of 8 total outcomes = 3/8.

  6. A histogram shows the distribution of test scores. The tallest bar covers the range 70-79. What does this tell you about the data?

    Answer: Most students scored between 70-79

    The tallest bar in a histogram represents the interval with the highest frequency, so most students scored in that range.

  7. A class records the number of books read per month over 5 months: 4, 7, 3, 8, 3. What is the mean number of books read?

    Answer: 5

    Mean = (4+7+3+8+3)/5 = 25/5 = 5 books per month.
