Which of the following relationships represents a negative correlation between two variables?
As a student’s class attendance decreases, the student’s overall grade remains the same
As the number of hours a person exercises decreases, the weight of that person remains unchanged
As the number of miles driven increases, the amount of the gasoline in the tank decreases
As the amount of water plant receives increases, the growth rate of the plant increase.
Correct Answer : C

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Before finding the area of the pizza, we need to find the radius of the pizza.
Find radius of the pizza in terms of diameter
Next, find area of the pizza using the radius of 6 inches
Substituting r=6 in the equation of the area of a circle
Thus, the pizza has an area of 36 π in2.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
To form an equation from the word problem, first break the given statement into smaller statements.
First, we are given the width of the rectangle as x. We are told, the length is three times width. Mathematically, this means
Length=3*width=3*x=3x
Again, the length is 4 less than 3 times width of the rectangle. Thus, the length of rectangle in terms of width becomes:
Length =3x-4
This is the required equation.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Based rainfall falling for the first 5 months, a bar graph will give a great display for the farmer to decide when start planting. The horizontal scale will represent months of the year and vertical scale will present the amount of rainfall falling.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
To solve this problem, we need to have all options in fraction form.
74 95 =
7/8 = 3/8
0.72 = 72/100
74% = 74/100
Now, find the least common denominator of 95, 8, and 100. The least common denominator is 3800, which we multiply by each fraction as follows:
74/95*3800=2960
7/8*3800=3325
72/100*3800=2736
74/100*3800=2812
We can see that the fraction 7/8 is the greatest among the given options.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
In this problem, we need to find the amount of gratuity the couple will leave. The gratuity is 16% of the total bill. Before solving the problem, the following are terms and their meaning in percent problems:
- Is means equals
- Of means multiply
- What means unknown (variable)
If we let x be the amount of gratuity, then translating the given problem into a mathematical equation becomes:
Now we evaluate the above equation noting that of means multiply.
So, the value of x=9.376 and to the nearest cent, x=9.38
There, a couple will leave a gratuity of $9.38.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A ratio is of the form a : b but can also be converted to a fraction of the form a/b, where b is not equal to zero. Besides, to in ration means per in fraction form.
In the class of 40 students, 22 are girls and 18 are boys. Thus, the ratio of girls to boys becomes:
The above fraction can be reduced further since 2 is a common factor in both 22 and 18. Thus
In ratio form, girls: boys=11:9
Thus, the ratio of girls to boys in a class of 40 students is 11 to 9.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
We need to form a mathematical expression from the given word problem.
Let the unknown number be x.
Thrice a number is three times = 3x
Twelve less than thrice a number = 3x-12
Thus, the mathematical expression from the word problem is 3x-12
Correct Answer is D
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.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
An independent variable is a change that when modified brings a change in other variables. In this case, the person increases his climbing rate, calories burned, distance traveled and energy used increases. Therefore, the walking speed is the independent variable while other variables are dependent.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
to find the average time the athlete runs in 1 mile; we find total distance and total time the athlete takes in running.
Total distance run by athlete=7+3=10 miles
Total time=45+15 =60 minutes
The athlete runs 10 miles in 60 minutes. For the athlete to cover 1 mile, he will run for a time less than 60 minutes. Thus, in 1 mile, the athlete takes:
So, in 6 minutes, the athlete covers 1 mile.
