UCAT Decision Making Test #2

Question 1

Should violating copyrights or patents—such as by copying a movie or drug—be treated as a civil wrong for which restitution must be made rather than a criminal offense punishable by a fine or jail time?

From the statements below, pick the one that makes the most sense.

Accepted Answer

No, copying a patented design and producing or distributing copycat goods based on it without permission is theft, a felony that deceives consumers and denies the patent owners of revenue.

Answer

No, it is illegal to copy medications, music, or foods that have their own trademarks and protected recipes because the purchaser is not receiving the intended goods. However, you cannot imprison entire corporations.

Answer

Yes, most violations are not harmful and no one is harmed, so it would be disproportionate to give the offenders a criminal record; at most, it is a civil violation that justifies paying compensation, but it should probably only result in a warning.

Answer

Although it is unpleasant to neglect to pay fees to a copyright or patent owners whose work has been illegally included into a product, it is not as serious as committing a crime.

Question 2

Six identical pairs of earrings, with the exception of color, are kept in a box by Dana.
There are three pairings of each color: red and blue.
In order to have at least one pair of red earrings and one pair of blue earrings, Diana must draw a predetermined number of earrings at random.

Should Dana choose eight earrings at random to do this?

Accepted Answer

She is allowed to purchase multiple pairs of each color, or three pairs of one color and one pair of a different color.

Answer

If she gets eight pairs of earrings, she will have a 100% probability of selecting three pairs of red earrings and one set of blue earrings.

Answer

No, there is a risk that she won't choose the same color for all eight pairs of earrings.

Answer

No, each time she picks, she has a 50% chance of choosing an earring of a specific color.

Question 3

Four secondary schools—K, L, M, and N—combine to form a youth orchestra with 39 players.
Each school sends the same number of boys and girls as there are students enrolled there to play in the orchestra.
School L's orchestra has 18 members, which is twice as many as schools K, M, and N each have, as well as three times as many as school L.
While M has an equal number of females and boys, and L has an equal number of boys, N has as many boys as K does.

Question 5

Employees in a resort management company are allotted a certain amount of vacation time each month.
The resort is open all year long.
Sandra, Myra, and Randy, who all work in the same department, are each given 4, 6, and 5 days of leave each month. The dates on which each employee must take time off vary. ,br>
Is there a chance of meeting all three employees on any given day during a month more than 50%?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but only in months with 31 days.

Answer

Yes, there is more than a 50% probability in all months.

Answer

No, guests will only ever meet two employees on any given day of a month

Answer

No, the probability in most months is less than 50%.

Question 6

The tune that Jayson hears on his music player is chosen at random.
Eight rock tunes, five classical songs, and two folk songs are all on the music player.

If Jayson removes one song from his music player from each of the three genres, will he be more likely to listen to classical music?

Accepted Answer

No, keeping one song from each genre does not change the likelihood of choosing a classical song.

Answer

Yes, when the number of songs reduces, the likelihood of listening to a song in a given genre rises.

Answer

Yes, when there are less folk music and rock songs, the likelihood of choosing a classical tune is higher.

Answer

No, as the number of songs reduces, the likelihood of choosing a classical tune also declines.
