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
Correlation of two variables falls into:
Positive correlation: an increase in one variable causes another variable to increase
Negative correlation: an increase in one variable causes another one to decrease
No correlation: a change in one variable does not cause any response in another variable.
From the given choices
Option a is no correlation
Option b is a no correlation
Option c is a negative correlation

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
We are required to find the doctor’s earning in 4 weeks after taking off taxes.
The first step is to find the total weekly deductions as follows:
Total weekly tax=federal income tax + state income tax + Social Security tax
Total weekly tax=$(85.00+40.00+81.00)
Total tax=$206.00
The next step is to find the weekly income after deducting total taxes
Weekly net income=gross income-total tax
Weekly net income=$(980.00-206.00)=$774.00
In one week, the net income of the doctor is $774.00 and after 4 weeks, the net income will be 4 times his weekly earning
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
The median of a data set is found in two ways:
For an odd data set, the median fall in the (N+1)/2 th position.
For an even data set, the median is the average of the element in the (N/2)th and (N+1)/2 th positions.
To find the median of the given data set, we need to arrange the elements from the smallest to the largest as follows:
12, 12, 16, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, 35, 35
There are 11 elements in the data set. 11 is an odd number and the median fall in the (N+1)/2 th position.
Median =(11+1)/2=12/2=6 th position.
From the organized data, the element in the 6th position is 22, which is the required median for the data set.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
We are required to find the percent equivalent of the given fraction.
We multiply 7/8 by 100 to convert it to percent. You convert fraction to percent.
Thus 7/8 is equal to 87.5%.
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 D
Explanation
Here we need to find the actual values of the additions and see the trend the student will use to estimate the given problem. The exact sum is as follows
35+192227
258+350=608
947+1032=1979
From the above calculations, it is evident that the student rounds up or down the ones place values. So, in the problem we need to approximate 694+7618.
694+7618=8312
We can approximate 8312 based on the provided choices is 8310.
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 D
Explanation
We use 1 L =1000 mL to convert between the two units. The conversion options of interconversions are:
And
We want millimeters, use the second option to change L to mL as:
Therefore, 2.5 L is equivalent to 2500 mL.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
The truck carries a whole cargo which equals 1. If we let the weight of the cargo to be p, then we set up a proportion equation with weight as numerator and fraction of cargo as denominator.
Solve for value of p by cross products
Multiply both sides by 3/2 a reciprocal of 2/3
The truck carries a cargo weighing 795 lb.
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 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.
