Objective Assessment #1
Given the following set of numbers: 3.3, -2.3, -16, 25. What are the square roots of the whole
number?
A. +/- 2.3
B. +/- 3.3
C. +/- 4
D. +/- 5 - correct answer D. +/- 5
Composite Number - correct answer A number with more factors that just one and itself.
Equivalent Fractions - correct answer Different fractions that represent the same value.
X-Axis - correct answer The horizontal line that passes through the origin on a coordinate plane.
Qualitative Data - correct answer Non-numeric information based on some quality or
characteristic.
No Correlation - correct answer There is no apparent overall trend between the two variables. If
the correlation coefficient is 0, this only rules out a linear trend. There could be a non-linear or
curvilinear trend.
Extrapolate - correct answer Using information from a data set to make predictions about data
outside of the original set.
Event - correct answer An outcome, or set of outcomes, whose chance of occurrence can be
represented with a probability.

Given the following set of numbers: 10, 2.5, -4, -4.5, 5. What is the sum when adding together
only the whole numbers?
A. 5.5
B. 11
C. 12.5
D. 15 - correct answer D. 15
Operation - correct answer In Mathematics, an operation is a procedure which generates a new
value from one or more operands, or Mathematical values.
Conditional Proportion - correct answer A proportion where one part of the proportion is a
variable, or unknown quantity.
Coefficients - correct answer A number by which a number is multiplied. This number is written
in front of the variable(s).
Mean - correct answer Average, calculated by adding a series of elements in a data set together
and dividing by the total number in the series.
Outlier - correct answer An observation point that is statistically distant from the other
observations in the dataset.
Regression Line - correct answer The line of best fit to show the relationship between variables,
the one that minimizes distance from each data point to the line.
Experiment - correct answer A procedure that can be done repeatedly which has a well defined
set of outcomes.
