4. Pytanie 4 z 17

   Six deliveries took 12, 15, 9, 20, 18 and 11 minutes. What is the median time?

   • A14.5 minutes
   • B14.2 minutes
   • C13.5 minutes
   • D12 minutes
   Pokaż odpowiedź

   Odpowiedź: C. 13.5 minutes

   Sort first: 9, 11, 12, 15, 18, 20. With an even count, the median is the mean of the middle two: (12 + 15) ÷ 2 = 13.5.

5. Pytanie 5 z 17

   The low temperatures for five days were −12 °C, −5 °C, 3 °C, 8 °C and −2 °C. What is the range?

   • A10 °C
   • B20 °C
   • C15 °C
   • D4 °C

   • BThe range
   • CThe mean
   • DThe highest price

    The table shows hours studied and test scores for six learners. What relationship does the data show?

    Learner	Hours studied	Score (%)
    A	2	52
    B	4	61
    C	5	66
    D	7	74
    E	9	83
    F	10	88

    • AScores stay the same no matter the hours
    • BA negative relationship: more study hours go with lower scores
    • CA positive relationship: more study hours go with higher scores
    • DNo relationship between hours and scores
    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: C. A positive relationship: more study hours go with higher scores

    As hours go up, scores also go up. On a scatterplot the points would rise from left to right, which is a positive relationship.

    • B1/2
    • C1/3

14. Pytanie 14 z 17

    You roll a fair six-sided die once. What is the probability of rolling a 2 or a 5?

    • A1/36
    • B2/3
    • C1/3
    • D1/6

    Odpowiedź: C. 1/3

    You cannot roll both at once, so the events are mutually exclusive. Add: 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3.

15. Pytanie 15 z 17

    You flip a coin and roll a six-sided die. What is the probability of getting heads and a 6?

    • B2/3
    • C1/8
    • D1/6

    Odpowiedź: A. 1/12

    The events are independent, so multiply: 1/2 × 1/6 = 1/12.

16. Pytanie 16 z 17

    A bus is late on 20% of days. Each day is independent. What is the probability it is late on both Monday and Tuesday?
