Data Insights: Integrated Reasoning Mixed Practice Flashcards

In Multi-Source Reasoning, Tab 1 lists a deadline of June 15 and Tab 2 says the project has '10 business days' from June 1. Ignoring weekends roughly, are these consistent?

Answer: Yes, both point to mid-June

Ten business days from June 1 lands around June 15, consistent with Tab 1's deadline.

A Two-Part Analysis requires selecting a 'cause' and an 'effect' from a list of events. The cause should logically:

Answer: Occur before or drive the effect

A cause precedes and produces the effect, so it must come before or bring about it.

A Graphics Interpretation pie chart shows four segments: 40%, 30%, 20%, and 10%. The two largest segments together make up:

Answer: 70%

The two largest are 40% and 30%, which sum to 70%.

In Table Analysis, you compute that Company Q has revenue $500K and costs $350K. Its profit is:

Answer: $150K

Profit equals revenue minus costs: $500K − $350K = $150K.

A Multi-Source set includes a report claiming a product is 'compliant in all EU markets' and a chart showing it failed certification in Germany. This indicates:

Answer: A contradiction between sources

Germany is an EU market, so failing certification there contradicts the claim of full EU compliance.

A Two-Part Analysis table lets you choose a 'minimum' and a 'maximum' from a set of order quantities. The minimum value you select must be:

Answer: No greater than the maximum

By definition a minimum cannot exceed the maximum, so it must be less than or equal to it.

A Graphics Interpretation graph shows that doubling input X causes output Y to double as well. This relationship is best described as:

Answer: Linear/proportional

When output changes in direct proportion to input, the relationship is linear (directly proportional).
