  1. A school district reports that 45% of 800 students passed a standardized reading assessment. If the district aims to increase the pass rate to 60% next year with the same number of students, how many additional students must pass?

    Answer: 120

    Currently 360 students pass (800 × 0.45), and 60% of 800 is 480, so 480 − 360 = 120 additional students must pass.

  2. A researcher collects test scores from four classrooms: Room A (mean 78), Room B (mean 82), Room C (mean 75), and Room D (mean 85). Each room has 25 students. What is the overall mean score across all classrooms?

    Answer: 80

    The overall mean is (78 + 82 + 75 + 85) ÷ 4 = 80, since all rooms have equal enrollment.

  3. A bar graph shows monthly library visits: January (1,200), February (1,400), March (1,100), April (1,600). Which month showed the greatest percentage increase from the previous month?

    Answer: April

    April increased from 1,100 to 1,600, a rise of approximately 45.5%, which is the largest percentage increase.

  4. In a dataset of student GPAs, the median is 3.2 and the mean is 2.9. What does this suggest about the distribution of GPAs?

    Answer: The distribution is skewed left with some very low GPAs pulling the mean down

    When the mean is lower than the median, the distribution is left-skewed, indicating some low outliers are pulling the mean downward.

  5. A teacher administers the same test to two classes. Class 1 has a mean score of 74 with a standard deviation of 5, and Class 2 has a mean score of 74 with a standard deviation of 12. Which conclusion is best supported?

    Answer: Class 1 scores are more consistently clustered around the mean than Class 2 scores

    A smaller standard deviation indicates that Class 1's scores are more tightly grouped around the mean compared to Class 2.

  6. A pie chart shows budget allocation: Instruction 55%, Administration 15%, Transportation 10%, Facilities 12%, Technology 8%. If the total budget is $2,000,000, how much more is spent on Instruction than on Administration and Transportation combined?

    Answer: $600,000

    Instruction is $1,100,000 (55%), Administration plus Transportation is $500,000 (25%), and the difference is $600,000.
