Q #1: A sweater that normally sells for $95 is marked 30% off. Which of the following estimates the sale price of the sweater?
A. $67
B. $30
C. $22
D. $63
Answer Explanation
The selling price of the sweater is marked price less the mark off value.
Mark off value=mark off rate*original price
Mark of value=30% of $95
Mark of value=0.30*$95=$28.50
Now, find the selling price of the sweater
Selling price= marked price-mark off value
Thus, the sweater will be sold for 66.50 after applying a mark off of 30%. The selling price is about $67.

Q #2: A math teacher obtained the following scores from a class of 45 students. Which of the following is the best way to display the frequency of each day of the week? Test score 50-59 60-69 70-79 80-89 90-99 Number of students 10 4 9 20 2
A. Scatterplot
B. Pie graph
C. Line graph
D. Histogram
Answer Explanation
In order for the teacher to better visualize the test performance for his class, he needs to present the mark distribution in chart form. A better chart visualizer is the histogram, which will show the frequency of marks against range of test scores. A bar graph will not be used because the rectangles need to touch one another.
In a bar graph, the rectangles do not touch each other. Therefore, it will not be a good chart visualizer.

Positive correlation: an increase in one variable causes another variable to increase
Negative correlation: an increase in one variable causes another one to decrease
No correlation: a change in one variable does not cause any response in another variable.
From the given choices
Option a is no correlation
Option b is a no correlation
Option c is a negative correlation
Option d is a positive correlation
