Read the first 7 Data Insights: Two-Part Analysis flashcards as text

  1. A Two-Part Analysis question describes a verbal logic relationship: identify a statement that must be true and one that could be true. These differ because:

    Answer: 'Must be true' holds in all cases while 'could be true' holds in at least one case

    A must-be-true statement is always valid; a could-be-true statement is valid in at least one scenario.

  2. Two employees split a $1,200 bonus so one gets twice the other. The smaller share is:

    Answer: $400

    If shares are x and 2x, then 3x = 1200, so x = 400.

  3. In the same $1,200 split, the larger share is:

    Answer: $800

    2x = 2(400) = $800.

  4. A data table shows quarterly sales. You must select the quarter with the largest increase and the quarter with the largest decrease from the prior quarter. What computation identifies each?

    Answer: The difference between each quarter and the one before it

    Period-over-period differences reveal the largest rise and the largest fall.

  5. A car rental costs $30 plus $0.25 per mile. You must find the mileage giving a $55 total and one giving an $80 total. The mileage for $55 is:

    Answer: 100

    30 + 0.25m = 55 gives 0.25m = 25, so m = 100.

  6. Using the same rental formula, the mileage giving an $80 total is:

    Answer: 200

    30 + 0.25m = 80 gives 0.25m = 50, so m = 200.

  7. Why does Two-Part Analysis reward setting up both conditions before checking the answer column?

    Answer: It lets you efficiently test each shared option against two precise targets

    Defining both targets first turns selection into quick verification against the shared options.
