  • Q #1: A large pizza has a diameter of 9 inches. Which of the following is the area of the pizza in terms of pi ()?

    A. 11.25 πin2

    B. 29.57 πin2

    C. 18.35 πin2

    D. 20.25 πin2

    Answer Explanation

    We need to find the radius in order to find the area of the pizza.

    Radius of pizza

    The area of the pizza

            

    But r=4.5

     

    Thus, the area of the pizza is 20.25  in2.

    NOTE:  is used as is since values of pi may vary e.g. 3.14, 3.142, 22/7. Hence we use pi symbol to generalize.

  • Q #2: Jacob has $100. She spends 87% of the money. She then invests the remaining amount and earns a profit of 75%. How much money does she now have?  

    A. $13.00

    B. $87.00

    C. $22.75

    D. $9.75

    Answer Explanation

    We are needed to find the amount Jacob will be left with after spending and reinvesting the rest using the given information.

    Amount Jacob spends=87% of $100=87/100*100=$87

    Amount left to invest=$(100-87)=$13

    Jacob is left with $13, which she invests and earns a profit of 75%.

    Profit earned on invested amount=75% of $13=75/100*13=$9.75

    So, Jacob will have $13+$9.75=$22.75

  • Q #3: When the weights of the newborn babies are graphed, the distribution of weights is symmetric with the majority of weights centered around a single peak. Which of the following describes the shape of this distribution?

    A. Uniform

    B. Bimodal

    C. Bell-shaped

    D. Skewed right

    Answer Explanation

    The distribution of the weights of the newborn babies is symmetric meaning the mean, mode, and median are all equal. Thus, the bell-shape curve describes this kind of distribution of weights
