1. In the town of Ellsford, there are approximately 1,450 residents who attend church weekly. If around 400 of them attend Catholic Churches, what percentage of churchgoers in Ellsford attends Catholic Churches?

• A. 23%
• B. 28%
• C. 36%
• D. 42%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the percentage of churchgoers who attend Catholic Churches, divide the number of Catholic churchgoers by the total number of churchgoers and then multiply by 100. (400 ÷ 1,450) × 100 ≈ 27.59%, which rounds to 28%.

2. Given a double bar graph, which statement is true about the distributions of Group A and Group B?

• A. Group A is negatively skewed, Group B is normal.
• B. Group A is positively skewed, Group B is normal.
• C. Group A is positively skewed, Group B is neutral.
• D. Group A is normal, Group B is negatively skewed.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. In statistical terms, a positively skewed distribution means that the tail on the right side of the distribution is longer or fatter than the left side, indicating more high values. Therefore, Group A is positively skewed. Conversely, an approximately normal distribution, also known as a bell curve, is symmetrical with no skewness. Hence, Group B is normal. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the skewness of Group A and the normal distribution of Group B as depicted in a double bar graph.

3. Given the double bar graph shown below, which of the following statements is true?

• A. Group A is negatively skewed, while Group B is approximately normal.
• B. Group A is positively skewed, while Group B is approximately normal.
• C. Group A is approximately normal, while Group B is negatively skewed.
• D. Group A is approximately normal, while Group B is positively skewed.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. In a double bar graph, Group A is positively skewed, meaning its data is clustered on the left and has a tail extending to the right. On the other hand, Group B displays a normal distribution where the data is evenly distributed around the mean. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they inaccurately describe the skewness and distribution of the data in Group A and Group B.

4. Order the groups from largest to smallest, according to the number of doctors in each group.

• A. Group X, Group Y, Group Z
• B. Group Z, Group Y, Group X
• C. Group Z, Group X, Group Y
• D. Group Y, Group X, Group Z

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct order from largest to smallest number of doctors in each group is Group Z (20 doctors), Group Y (15 doctors), and Group X (10 doctors). Therefore, the correct order is Group Z, Group Y, and Group X, which matches option B. Option B is correct because it correctly reflects the descending order of the number of doctors in each group. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not follow the correct order of the number of doctors in each group.

5. Based on their prescribing habits, a set of doctors was divided into three groups: 1/4 of the doctors were placed in Group X because they always prescribed medication. 1/3 of the doctors were placed in Group Y because they never prescribed medication. 1/6 of the doctors were placed in Group Z because they sometimes prescribed medication. Order the groups from largest to smallest, according to the number of doctors in each group.

• A. Group X, Group Y, Group Z
• B. Group Z, Group Y, Group X
• C. Group Z, Group X, Group Y
• D. Group Y, Group X, Group Z

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Compare and order the groups based on the fractions provided.
