1. How many quarts are in 1 liter?

• A. 1 quart
• B. 1.06 quarts
• C. 2 quarts
• D. 0.5 quarts

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to quarts, you can use the conversion factor 1 liter ≈ 1.06 quarts. Therefore, 1 liter is approximately 1.06 quarts. Choice A is incorrect because 1 quart is not equivalent to 1 liter. Choice C is incorrect as 2 quarts is more than 1 liter. Choice D is incorrect as 0.5 quarts is half of 1 liter.

2. Which measure for the center of a small sample set would be most affected by outliers?

• A. Mean
• B. Median
• C. Mode
• D. None of the above

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The mean is calculated by summing all values in a dataset and then dividing by the total number of values. Outliers, which are data points significantly different from the other values, can greatly impact the mean because they affect the sum. The mean is sensitive to extreme values, making it the measure for the center of a small sample set most affected by outliers. The median, on the other hand, is not influenced by outliers as it represents the middle value when the data points are ordered. The mode is the value that appears most frequently in the dataset and is not directly influenced by outliers. Therefore, the correct answer is the mean, as it is highly influenced by outliers in a small sample set.

3. If Stella's current weight is 56 kilograms, what is her approximate weight in pounds?

• A. 123 pounds
• B. 110 pounds
• C. 156 pounds
• D. 137 pounds

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert kilograms to pounds, you multiply the weight in kilograms by 2.2. So, 56 kilograms * 2.2 = 123.2 pounds, which can be approximated to 123 pounds. Therefore, Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the correct conversion from kilograms to pounds for Stella's weight of 56 kilograms.

4. x ÷ 7 = x − 36. Solve the equation. Which of the following is correct?

• A. x = 6
• B. x = 42
• C. x = 4
• D. x = 252

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve the equation x ÷ 7 = x − 36, start by multiplying both sides by 7 to get 7(x ÷ 7) = 7(x − 36), which simplifies to x = 7x − 252. Next, subtract 7x from both sides to get -6x = -252. Finally, divide both sides by -6 to solve for x, which results in x = 42. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 42. Choice A (x = 6), Choice C (x = 4), and Choice D (x = 252) are incorrect as they do not align with the correct solution derived from the equation.

5. A teacher earns $730.00 per week before any tax deductions. The following taxes are deducted each week: $72.00 federal income tax, $35.00 state income tax, and $65.00 Social Security tax. How much will the teacher make in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted?

• A. $2,250.00
• B. $2,550.00
• C. $2,400.00
• D. $2,232.00

Correct answer: D

Rationale: After deducting $172 weekly for taxes ($72 + $35 + $65), the teacher's net weekly income is $558. Over 4 weeks, the total income is $2,232.00. Choice A is incorrect as it does not account for the taxes deducted. Choice B is incorrect as it overestimates the income by not deducting the taxes. Choice C is incorrect as it also does not consider the tax deductions.
