QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
✔✔Disjoint - ✔✔Two events which both cannot occur at the same time.
✔✔What is 3/14 - 1/7?
A. 1/14
B. 2/7
C. 5/14
D. 3/2 - ✔✔A. 1/14
✔✔Whole Number - ✔✔A number whose value is 0 or greater (negative number are not
considered whole numbers) and can be represented without a fractional or decimal
component.
✔✔Cross Multiplying - ✔✔A method used to prove that a proportion is true.
✔✔Addition Principle of Equality - ✔✔The fact that we can add the same number to
both sides of an equation, and the result will be an equivalent equation.
✔✔Dot Plot - ✔✔A graphical representation of data that plots the frequency of data
along a horizontal line.
✔✔Independent Variable - ✔✔The variable that may be the cause of some result, or is
presented as the variable that offers an explanation. Also called an explanatory
variable.
✔✔Regression Equation - ✔✔An equation used to model the relationship between the
response and explanatory variables in a regression.
✔✔Tree Diagram - ✔✔A diagram that records all the events in a sample space by
attaching each new set of events to each branch of the earlier events. The number of
outermost branches gives the sample size.
✔✔What is 2/3 + 1/4?
A. 11/12
B. 3/12
C. 3/7
D. 8/3 - ✔✔A. 11/12
✔✔Positive Number - ✔✔A number whose value is greater than zero. On the number
line, positive numbers are to the right of zero.
✔✔Rate - ✔✔A ratio that compares two quantities having different units of measure.
, ✔✔Quadrants - ✔✔The four sections of the coordinate plane, separated and defined by
the x-axis and y-axis.
✔✔Minimum - ✔✔The smallest value in a set.
✔✔Non-Linear - ✔✔An expression or equation that is illustrated by something other
than a straight line.
✔✔Linear Interpolation - ✔✔Estimation using the linear regression equation in between
known data points.
✔✔Sample Space - ✔✔The entire set of outcomes for a trial or experiment.
✔✔A patient's protein intake for today has been 15.76g, 8.49g, and 22.58g. What is the
total protein intake rounded to the nearest tenth of a decimal?
A. 46.5g
B. 46.8g
C. 46.9g
D. 47g - ✔✔B. 46.8g
✔✔Square Root - ✔✔A number that produces a specified number when it is multiplied
by itself.
✔✔Rounding - ✔✔A method of estimating in order to make working with a number
easier.
✔✔Term - ✔✔In Mathematics, a term is an individual number or variable, or numbers
and variables multiplied together in an expression. Terms are separated by addition or
subtraction signs.
✔✔Stem Plot - ✔✔A visual representation of data in which individual points are plotted
to the right of a vertical line, or chart, and the left (the "stem") shows the interval
categories.
✔✔Scatterplot - ✔✔A graph that uses dots on a coordinate plane to show the
relationship between two quantitative variables.
✔✔Population - ✔✔An entire pool from which a sample is drawn.
✔✔Multiplication Rule for Independent Events - ✔✔If two events are independent, then
P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B).
