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:
(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
(x - 2)² + (y - 3)² = 25
Answer: A
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
3x = 14
Solve for x:
x + y = 10
4.67 + y = 10
Answer: None of the above. The closest answer is C, but the values for x and y are not
correct.
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
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
The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in a set of data.
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:
Mean = (2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10) / 5 = 6
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
Answer: B
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:
Median = (8 + 10) / 2 = 9
Next, we find the median of the lower half of the data:
Lower quartile = (4 + 6) / 2 = 5
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.
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:
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 = 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
f(4) = 16 - 12 + 2
