  1. A data set contains the values: 4, 7, 7, 9, 13. What is the median?

    Answer: 7

    With 5 ordered values, the middle (3rd) value is 7.

  2. A scatter plot shows a strong positive correlation between study hours and test scores. Which conclusion is best supported?

    Answer: Students who study more tend to score higher

    Correlation indicates a tendency, not causation or a guaranteed outcome for every individual.

  3. A container holds 4.5 liters. If 750 mL is removed, how many liters remain?

    Answer: 3.75 liters

    750 mL = 0.75 L; 4.5 − 0.75 = 3.75 liters remain.

  4. A table shows three phone plans: Plan A at $35/mo with 5GB, Plan B at $50/mo with 10GB, Plan C at $70/mo with 20GB. Which plan has the lowest cost per GB?

    Answer: Plan C at $3.50/GB

    Cost/GB: A=$7.00, B=$5.00, C=$3.50; Plan C has the lowest cost per GB.

  5. A bank account earns 4% simple interest per year. If $2,500 is deposited, how much interest is earned after 3 years?

    Answer: $300

    Simple interest = P × r × t = 2,500 × 0.04 × 3 = $300.

  6. A map has a scale of 1 cm : 50 km. Two cities are 7.4 cm apart on the map. What is the actual distance?

    Answer: 370 km

    Actual distance = 7.4 × 50 = 370 km.

  7. A frequency table shows scores: 60-69 (5 students), 70-79 (8 students), 80-89 (12 students), 90-99 (5 students). What percentage scored 80 or above?

    Answer: 56.67%

    Total = 30; students scoring 80+ = 17; percentage = 17/30 × 100 ≈ 56.67%.
