Question 1: A line graph shows a store's weekly revenue: Week 1 = $8,400, Week 2 = $9,100, Week 3 = $7,600, Week 4 = $10,200. What is the average weekly revenue over the four weeks?
- $8,825 (Correct answer)
- $9,075
- $8,750
- $9,325
Correct answer: $8,825
Add all four values: $8,400 + $9,100 + $7,600 + $10,200 = $35,300. Divide by 4 weeks: $35,300 ÷ 4 = $8,825.
Question 2: A pie chart shows how a $240,000 budget is divided: 40% Operations, 35% Payroll, 15% Marketing, 10% Miscellaneous. How many dollars are allocated to Marketing?
- $36,000 (Correct answer)
- $84,000
- $24,000
- $48,000
Correct answer: $36,000
Marketing is 15% of $240,000. 0.15 × $240,000 = $36,000.
Question 3: A bar chart compares defect rates per 1,000 units: Plant A = 12, Plant B = 7, Plant C = 19, Plant D = 4. Which plant has a defect rate exactly 3 times higher than Plant D?
- Plant A (Correct answer)
- Plant B
- Plant C
- Plant B and Plant A
Correct answer: Plant A
Plant D's defect rate is 4. Three times 4 equals 12, which matches Plant A's defect rate of 12.
Question 4: A flow diagram shows 8 total steps in a manufacturing process. Of those, 2 steps are inspections and 1 step is a final approval. What percentage of steps are either inspections or final approval?
- 37.5% (Correct answer)
- 25%
- 12.5%
- 50%
Correct answer: 37.5%
Inspections plus final approval = 2 + 1 = 3 steps. 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375, which is 37.5%.
Question 5: A double bar chart shows January shipments: Warehouse East shipped 540 units and Warehouse West shipped 390 units. In February, East shipped 480 units and West shipped 510 units. Which warehouse had the greater combined total over both months?

- Warehouse West with 900 units
- Warehouse East with 900 units
- Both warehouses tied at 1,020 units
Correct answer: Warehouse East with 1,020 units
East total: 540 + 480 = 1,020 units. West total: 390 + 510 = 900 units. East shipped more overall.
Question 6: A table shows employee shift lengths: Morning = 7.5 hours, Afternoon = 6 hours, Evening = 8.5 hours. If 4 employees work the Morning shift and 2 work the Evening shift, how many total hours do those 6 employees work combined?
- 47 hours (Correct answer)
- 48 hours
- 45 hours

Correct answer: 47 hours
Morning total: 4 × 7.5 = 30 hours. Evening total: 2 × 8.5 = 17 hours. Combined: 30 + 17 = 47 hours.
