Which of the following is the equation of a circle with a center of (2, 3) and a radius of
5?
A. (x - 2)² + (y - 3)² = 25
B. (x + 2)² + (y + 3)² = 25
C. (x - 2)² + (y + 3)² = 25
D. (x + 2)² + (y - 3)² = 25
Solution:

The equation of a circle with center (h, k) and radius r is:

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

So, the equation of the circle is:

(x - 2)² + (y - 3)² = 25

Answer: A

Which of the following is the solution to the system of equations:


x + y = 10
2x - y = 4
A. x = 2, y = 8
B. x = 4, y = 6
C. x = 5, y = 5
D. x = 6, y = 4
Solution:

We can solve this system of equations by either substitution or elimination. Here's how
to solve it using elimination:
x + y = 10
2x - y = 4

Add the two equations together to eliminate y:

3x = 14

Solve for x:

x = 4.67 (rounded to two decimal places)

Substitute x = 4.67 into either equation to solve for y:

x + y = 10

4.67 + y = 10

y = 5.33 (rounded to two decimal places)

Answer: None of the above. The closest answer is C, but the values for x and y are not
correct.

What is the mode of the following set of numbers: 3, 5, 7, 5, 2, 5, 9, 5?


A. 2
B. 3
C. 5
D. 7
Solution:

The mode is the number that appears most often in a set of data.

The mode of the given set of numbers is 5, as it appears four times, which is more than
any other number.

Answer: C

What is the median of the following set of numbers: 2, 4, 6,


8, 10, 12, 14, 16?

A. 8
B. 10
C. 12
D. 14
Solution:

The median is the middle value in a set of data when the data is arranged in order.

The given set of numbers is already in order, so the median is the middle number,
which is 10.

Answer: B

Which of the following is the range of the following set of numbers: 5, 2, 9, 7, 4?


A. 2
B. 3
C. 5
D. 7
Solution:

The highest value in the given set of numbers is 9, and the lowest value is 2.

Range = 9 - 2 = 7

Answer: D

Which of the following is the standard deviation of the following set of numbers: 2, 4,
6, 8, 10?
A. 2.24
B. 2.83
C. 3.16
D. 3.54
Solution:

To find the standard deviation, we first need to find the mean:

Mean = (2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10) / 5 = 6

Next, we calculate the deviations of each value from the mean:

2 - 6 = -4
4 - 6 = -2
6-6=0
8-6=2
10 - 6 = 4
Then, we square each deviation:

(-4)² = 16
(-2)² = 4
0² = 0
2² = 4
4² = 16

Next, we find the mean of the squared deviations:

Mean of squared deviations = (16 + 4 + 0 + 4 + 16) / 5 = 8

Finally, we take the square root of the mean of squared deviations:

Standard deviation = √8 = 2.83

Answer: B

Which of the following is the mode of the following set of numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,


8, 9?
A. 1
B. 2

Solution:

The mode is the number that appears most often in a set of data.

In the given set of numbers, each number appears only once, so there is no mode.

Answer: D

Which of the following is the interquartile range of the following set of numbers: 2, 4, 6,
8, 10, 12, 14, 16?
A. 5
B. 6
C. 7
D. 8
Solution:

To find the interquartile range, we first need to find the median:

Median = (8 + 10) / 2 = 9
Next, we find the median of the lower half of the data:

Lower quartile = (4 + 6) / 2 = 5

Finally, we find the median of the upper half of the data:

Upper quartile = (12 + 14) / 2 = 13

Interquartile range = Upper quartile - Lower quartile

Interquartile range = 13 - 5 = 8

Answer: D

Which of the following is the equation of the least-squares regression line for the
following data set:

x|12345
y | 3 5 7 9 11

A. y = 2x + 1
B. y = 2x + 2
C. y = 2x + 3
D. y = 2x + 4

Solution:

We can use the least-squares regression method to find the equation of the line that
best fits the given data.

First, we find the means of x and y:

x̄ = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5) / 5 = 3

ȳ = (3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11) / 5 = 7

Next, we find the sum of the products of the deviations of x and y from their means:

∑(x - x̄)(y - ȳ) = (1 - 3)(3 - 7) + (2 - 3)(5 - 7) + (3 - 3)(7 - 7) + (4 - 3)(9 - 7) + (5 -


3)(11 - 7) = 20

We also find the sum of the squares of the deviations of x from its mean:
∑(x - x̄)² = (1 - 3)² + (2 - 3)² + (3 - 3)² + (4 - 3)² + (5 - 3)² = 10

Using the formula for the slope of the least-squares regression line:

m = ∑(x - x̄)(y - ȳ) / ∑(x - x̄)²

m = 20 / 10 = 2

Finally, we can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line with the slope we just
found and the coordinates of the mean of x and y:

y - ȳ = m(x - x̄)

y - 7 = 2(x - 3)

y = 2x + 1

Answer: A

If f(x) = x² - 3x + 2, what is f(4)?


A. 2
B. 6
C. 10
D. 14
Solution:

To find f(4), we substitute x = 4 into the function:

f(4) = (4)² - 3(4) + 2

f(4) = 16 - 12 + 2

f(4) = 6

Answer: B

If g(x) = 2x + 1 and h(x) = x - 2, what is (g ◦ h)(3)?


A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 6
Solution:

(g ◦ h)(3) means to first apply h(3) and then apply g to the result.
h(3) = 3 - 2 = 1

Then, we apply g to the result:

g(1) = 2(1) + 1 = 3

Answer: A

If f(x) = x³ - x² + x - 1, what is f(-1)?


A. -1
B. 0
C. 2
D. 4
Solution:

To find f(-1), we substitute x = -1 into the function:

f(-1) = (-1)³ - (-1)² + (-1)
