ATI TEAS Math Practice Test
1. Over several years, a real estate agent sold houses, with one year having an outlier where she sold 11 houses. Which of the following measures will most accurately reflect the number of houses she sold per year?
- A. mean
- B. median
- C. mode
- D. range
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The outlier of 11 would skew the data if the mean or range were used. The median, however, is not affected by outliers and is the most appropriate measure for reflecting the number of houses she sold per year. In this scenario, the data set does not have a mode as each value occurs only once, making mode not the most appropriate choice.
2. Complete the following equation: x + x * x - x / x = ?
- A. 5
- B. 3
- C. 2
- D. 1
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To solve the equation x + x * x - x / x, follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). First, perform the multiplication: x * x = x^2. Then, perform the division: x / x = 1. Substituting these back into the equation gives x + x^2 - 1. Therefore, the equation simplifies to x + x^2 - 1. By evaluating this further, the final result is 3. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the order of operations to solve the equation.
3. Solve for y: 2y + 5 = 25 * 10
- A. y = 25
- B. y = 100
- C. y = 150
- D. y = 200
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To solve the equation 2y + 5 = 25 * 10, start by simplifying the right side: 25 * 10 = 250. Then, subtract 5 from both sides to isolate 2y: 2y = 250 - 5 = 245. Finally, divide by 2 to find the value of y: y = 245 / 2 = 122.5. Therefore, the correct answer is y = 122.5. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculation steps.
4. What is the result of multiplying (3/5) by (5/8)?
- A. 3/8
- B. 3/5
- C. 15/40
- D. 3/30
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. For (3/5) * (5/8), you get (3*5) / (5*8) = 15 / 40, which simplifies to 3/8. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3/5) is incorrect as it is one of the original fractions being multiplied. Choice C (15/40) is the result of the multiplication but not simplified to its lowest terms. Choice D (3/30) is incorrect as the numerator is not the result of multiplying 3 and 5 together.
5. Which of the following is listed in order from least to greatest? (-3/4, -7 4/5, -8, 18%, 0.25, 2.5)
- A. -3/4, -7 4/5, -8, 18%, 0.25, 2.5
- B. -8, -7 4/5, -3/4, 18%, 0.25, 2.5
- C. 18%, 0.25, -3/4, 2.5, -7 4/5, -8
- D. -8, -7 4/5, -3/4, 18%, 0.25, 2.5
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To arrange the numbers from least to greatest, we first compare the integers, then the fractions, and finally the percentages and decimals. The correct order is -8, -7 4/5, -3/4, 18%, 0.25, 2.5. Choice A is incorrect because it incorrectly orders the fractions. Choice B is incorrect because it incorrectly places -8 after the fractions. Choice C is incorrect because it starts with the percentages instead of the integers, leading to an incorrect order.
