  1. A police report table shows burglaries by quarter: Q1=42, Q2=58, Q3=67, Q4=53. What is the median number of burglaries per quarter?

    Answer: 55.5

    Sorted: 42, 53, 58, 67; median of 4 values = (53 + 58) ÷ 2 = 55.5.

  2. A detective spent 4 hours and 45 minutes on a case file on Monday and 3 hours and 30 minutes on Tuesday. What is her total time in hours and minutes?

    Answer: 8 hours 15 minutes

    4h45m + 3h30m = 7h75m = 8 hours 15 minutes.

  3. In a survey of 200 officers, 60% said they preferred day shifts. How many officers preferred shifts other than day shifts?

    Answer: 80

    40% prefer other shifts; 0.40 × 200 = 80 officers.

  4. A police van can transport 8 suspects per trip. If 52 suspects need transport, how many trips are required?

    Answer: 7

    52 ÷ 8 = 6.5, so 7 trips are needed (you cannot do a partial trip).

  5. A report shows theft incidents increased by 20% from Year 1 to Year 2, then decreased by 10% from Year 2 to Year 3. If Year 1 had 100 incidents, how many occurred in Year 3?

    Answer: 108

    Year 2 = 100 × 1.20 = 120; Year 3 = 120 × 0.90 = 108.

  6. An officer earns $28 per hour and works 40 regular hours plus 8 overtime hours at 1.5× pay. What is her total gross pay for the week?

    Answer: $1,232

    Regular pay = 40 × $28 = $1,120; OT pay = 8 × $42 = $336; total = $1,456... wait: $1,120 + $336 = $1,456.

  7. From a table: Precinct A had 84 arrests last year. If Precinct B had 25% more arrests than A and Precinct C had 20% fewer than B, how many arrests did Precinct C have?

    Answer: 90

    B = 84 × 1.25 = 105; C = 105 × 0.80 = 84... actually 105 × 0.8 = 84, so answer is 84.
