Correct Answer : C
A negative correlation means as one variable increases, the other variable decreases or as one variable decreases, the other variable increases. Based on this definition, we analyze the given statement as follows:
People who play baseball more tend to have more hits is POSITIVE CORRELATION
Shorter people tend to weigh less than taller people is a POSITIVE CORRELATION
Tennis balls that are older tend to have less bounce is a NEGATIVE CORRELATION
Cars that are older tend to have higher mileage is a POSITIVE CORRELATION

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Determine the number of blue and yellow gumballs as follows:
Percent of blue gumballs=100%-(20%+30%+5%+10%) =100%-65%=35%
Number of blue gumballs35% of 120=0.55*120 = 42 blue gumballs [35%=35/100=0.35]
Number of yellow gumballs=5% of 120=0.05*120 = 6 yellow gumballs [5%=5/100=0.05]
Difference between the number of blue and yellow gumballs=42-6= 36 balls
Therefore, there are 36 more blue gumballs than yellow gumballs.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Let width of the rectangle be W. We are told that length, L is 3 units greater than width. Then,
L=W+3
And perimeter of the rectangle is given by the relation, P=2(L+W]=2L+2W
In place of L substitute W+3. Thus,
P=2[W+3]+2W

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
In direct proportion relation, we utilize the relationship as:
Variable∝Variable 2
Thus from the given case,
Force∝stretch
We introduce a constant term, K to remove the sign of proportionality as
Force=K* stretch
Let’s find the value of K, using Force=132 N and stretch of 0.07 m
132 N=K*0.07 m
K=132 N/0.07 m=1885.7 N/m
Now substitute this value of K in the following equation
Force=1885.7 N/m * stretch
For a stretch of 0.1 m, the force needed is
Force=1885.7 N/m * 0.1 m=188.57 N=188.6 N

Multiply both sides by 4.5 oz
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Given the equation (x/y)-z=rw, we make x the subject of the formula as follows:
(x/y)-z=rw
Add z to both sides of the equation
(x/y)-z+z=rw+z
(x/y)=rw+z
Multiply both sides by y
(x/y)*y=y(rw+z)
X=y(rw+z)
Rearranging the equation results in:
X = y(z+rw)
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
To solve this problem, we need to find the mean, mode, and median of the above data set.
From the data set, the mode of the data is 2 and 8. They are the most occurring elements in the data set.
The mean of data is the total divided by the number of elements
Total=1+ 1 + 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 3 +3+ 7+ 7+8+8+ 8+ 8+ 9+9=80
Number of elements=16
Mean=80/16=5
Median will fall in between the (N/2)th and (N/2+1)th position
(N/2)th =16/2 =8th position and (16/2+1)th =9th position
Since the data is arranged in ascending order as below
1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9
Element in 8th position = 3
Element in 9th position =7
So the median average of the two elements=(3+7)/2=5
Now the data could be presented as follows in the distribution curve
This is because the data set has two modes, meaning the data is bimodal.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Number of boxes in the room is equal to the volume of the room divided by the volume of one box
Volume of the room=9 ft*9 ft*9 ft= 729 ft3
Volume of one box = 2 ft* 2 ft * 2 ft= 8 ft3
Number of boxes= 729 ft3/ 8 ft3= 91.125 boxes
Thus, the room can store 91.125 boxes, which is about 91 boxes.
However, the room’s dimensions are 9 ft x 9 ft x 9 ft, and the boxes are 2 ft x 2 ft x 2 ft. To determine how many boxes fit along each dimension:
- In the 9 ft length, you can fit\(\frac{9}{2} = 4.5\) boxes, which means only 4 whole boxes fit along this dimension.
- In the 9 ft width, you can fit 4 whole boxes.
- In the 9 ft height, you can fit 4 whole boxes.
Therefore, the total number of boxes that fit is:
\(4×4×4=64\ boxes\)
