Basic TSA Practice 1

Question 1

What is the difference between the February and May flight counts for ≥ 4 tonnes of cargo?

Accepted Answer

133

Answer

To find the difference, locate the flight counts for cargo weighing 4 tonnes or more for both February and May from the provided data. Subtract the smaller value from the larger value to determine the absolute difference. This calculation reveals the change in the volume of heavier cargo flights between these two months.

Question 2

What is the percentage of aircraft carrying ≥ 8 tonnes in April as opposed to May?

Accepted Answer

1.09:1

Answer

To determine the ratio of aircraft carrying 8 tonnes or more in April compared to May, divide the number of such flights in April by the number in May. This calculation expresses April's count as a proportion of May's, indicating how much larger or smaller April's volume was relative to May's. The result is then presented in the format X:1.

Question 3

What percentage of aircraft in March had cargo that weighed 3.99 pounds or less?

Accepted Answer

44.6%

Answer

To find the percentage, first identify the total number of flights in March and the number of flights carrying cargo weighing less than 4 tonnes (i.e., 3.99 tonnes or less) in March. Then, divide the number of flights with lighter cargo by the total number of flights in March and multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage. This shows the proportion of flights carrying lighter loads during that month.

Question 4

How many flights carrying cargo weighing at least six tonnes were there in February and March, on a percentage basis?

Accepted Answer

11.27%

Answer

First, sum the number of flights carrying 6 tonnes or more for both February and March. Next, calculate the combined total number of flights for both months. Finally, divide the combined number of heavy cargo flights by the combined total flights and multiply by 100 to get the percentage. This provides the overall proportion of heavy cargo flights across these two months.

Question 5

What was the ratio of category 1 to category 2 hurricanes in 2020?

Accepted Answer

1:0.63

Answer

To determine the ratio, locate the number of Category 1 and Category 2 hurricanes that occurred in 2020 from the provided data. Divide the count of Category 1 hurricanes by the count of Category 2 hurricanes. This calculation expresses the relationship between the two categories, showing how many Category 1 hurricanes there were for every one Category 2 hurricane.
