TEAS Practice Math Test
1. What is the median of Pernell's scores (81, 92, 87, 89, and 94)?
- A. 87
- B. 89
- C. 92
- D. 94
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find the median, we first need to arrange the scores in ascending order: 81, 87, 89, 92, 94. Since there are five scores, the middle score would be the third one, which is 89. Hence, the median of Pernell's scores is 89. Choice A (87) is incorrect because it is the second score in the ordered list, not the middle one. Choice C (92) and Choice D (94) are also incorrect as they are not positioned in the middle of the ordered series.
2. Simplify the following expression: 7 + 16 - (5 + 6 × 3) - 10 × 2
- A. -42
- B. -20
- C. 23
- D. 20
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Start by solving the multiplication and parentheses. The answer is -20.
3. 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.
4. Which of the following lists is in order from least to greatest? 2−1 , −(4/3), (−1)3 , (2/5)
- A. 2−1 , −(4/3), (−1)3 , (2/5)
- B. −(4/3), (−1)3 , 2−1 , (2/5)
- C. −(4/3), (2/5), 2−1 , (−1)3
- D. −(4/3), (−1)3 , (2/5), 2−1
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To determine the correct order from least to greatest, start by simplifying the expressions. 2^(-1) = 1/2 and (-1)^3 = -1. Now, comparing the values, (-4/3) is the most negative, followed by -1, then (2/5), and finally 1/2. Therefore, the correct order is (-4/3), (-1)^3, (2/5), 2^(-1), making choice D the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not follow the correct order from least to greatest as determined by comparing the values of the expressions after simplification.
5. What is the median of the data set: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11?
- A. 3
- B. 7
- C. 9
- D. 5
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find the median of a set of numbers, you arrange them in ascending order and then find the middle value. Given the data set 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, when arranged in ascending order, becomes 3, 5, 7, 9, 11. The middle value in this set is 7, making it the median. Choice A (3) is the smallest value, not the middle value. Choice C (9) and Choice D (5) are not the middle values of the set either. Therefore, the correct answer is B (7).
