A student scored 78, 85, and 91 on three tests. What score on the fourth test gives an average of exactly 85?
Answer: 86
Target total = 85 × 4 = 340; fourth score = 340 − (78 + 85 + 91) = 340 − 254 = 86.
A spinner has 8 equal sections numbered 1 through 8. What is the probability of landing on an even number?
Answer: 1/2
There are 4 even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8) out of 8 sections, so P = 4/8 = 1/2.
What is the range of the data set {4, 11, 7, 3, 15, 9}?
Answer: 12
Range = maximum − minimum = 15 − 3 = 12.
