Sample Questions

The numbers of absences in Mrs. Klein’s class for each of the first 3 months of the year were 16, 12, and 17, respectively. If the average (arithmetic mean) number of absences for the first 4 months of the year was 14, how many absences were there in the 4th month?

A) 9

(B) 10

(C) 11

(D) 12

(E) 13

The correct answer is (C).

For the average of a set of data, the sum of the data entries is equal to the product of the average and the number of entries.

Sum of data entries = Average × Total number of entries .

Since the average of the absences for the first

4 months is 14, the number of absences for the first 4 months is 14 × 4 = 56 . The number of absences in the fourth month is the number of absences in the first 4 months minus the number of absences in the first 3 months, or 56 − (16 + 12 + 17) = 11 . The answer, therefore, is choice (C).

If 4 x = 14 + 9 y and y = 2, what is the value of x ?

(A) 4

(B) 5

(C) 6

(D) 7

(E) 8

The correct answer is (E).

Since y = 2 , substituting the value 2 for y in the equation 4x = 14 + 9y gives the following equations.

4x = 14 + 9(2) 4x = 14 + 18 4x = 32

Dividing both sides of the equation 4x = 32 by 4 gives the result x = 8 . The answer, therefore, is choice (E).
