1. What is the probability of rolling a 5 on a six-sided die?

• A. 1/6
• B. 1/4
• C. 1/2
• D. 1/3

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The probability of rolling a specific number on a fair six-sided die is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (1 in this case, as there is one '5' on the die) by the total number of possible outcomes (6 for a six-sided die), resulting in a probability of 1/6. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the probability of rolling a 5 on a six-sided die. Option B (1/4) is incorrect because it represents the probability of rolling a specific number on a four-sided die. Option C (1/2) and Option D (1/3) are incorrect as they do not match the probability calculation for rolling a 5 on a six-sided die.

2. What temperature in Fahrenheit is 50°C? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is necessary, round to the nearest whole number.)

• A. 110°F
• B. 122°F
• C. 130°F
• D. 140°F

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the formula: F = (C × 9/5) + 32. Substituting 50°C: F = (50 × 9/5) + 32 = 122°F. Therefore, 50°C is approximately 122°F. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate conversion of 50°C to Fahrenheit.

3. A birdbath has a hemispherical bowl with a diameter of 30cm. What is its volume?

• A. 675 cu cm
• B. 1350 cu cm
• C. 2700 cu cm
• D. 4050 cu cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the volume of a hemispherical bowl, we use half the formula for a sphere's volume: (2/3) * π * (radius)^3. Given the diameter is 30cm, the radius is half of that, which is 15cm. Substitute the radius into the formula: (2/3) * π * (15cm)^3 ≈ 2700 cu cm. Therefore, the correct volume is approximately 2700 cu cm. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the volume of the hemispherical bowl.

4. Solve for x: 3x + 9 = 0.

• A. x = -3
• B. x = -3
• C. x = 1
• D. x = 0

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To solve the equation 3x + 9 = 0, first, isolate the variable x. Subtract 9 from both sides to get 3x = -9. Then, divide by 3 to solve for x, giving x = -3. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A, x = -3, is the correct solution. Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not satisfy the equation when substituted back into it.

5. In a bowling team consisting of 34 members, with 18 being male, if 4 females leave the team, what percent of the remaining members are male?

• A. 50%
• B. 60%
• C. 70%
• D. 55%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: After 4 females leave the team, there are 30 members remaining. Out of these, 18 are male. To find the percentage of male members, divide the number of male members (18) by the total number of remaining members (30) and multiply by 100. Percentage of male members = (18/30) * 100 = 60%. Therefore, 60% of the remaining members are male. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the information provided in the question.
