What is the mean of the data set [2, 4, 6, 8]?
5
6
4
20
The mean is calculated by summing the values (2+4+6+8=20) and dividing by the number of items (4), giving 5. This average represents the central value of the data set.
Solve for x: 2x + 3 = 11.
4
8
7
11
Subtracting 3 from both sides gives 2x = 8, and dividing by 2 yields x = 4. This straightforward linear equation illustrates basic algebraic manipulation.
According to Newton's first law, an object at rest will remain at rest unless what?
A net external force acts on it
Gravity acts on it
Friction acts on it
Its velocity changes spontaneously
Newton's first law states that an object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a net external force. This principle defines inertia and the role of force in changing motion.
Which formula gives the area of a circle of radius r?
πr²
2πr
πr³
r²
The area of a circle is given by A = πr², where r is the radius. Other formulas like 2πr refer to circumference or are not dimensionally correct for area.
In an experiment to test the effect of sunlight on plant growth, which is the independent variable?
Amount of sunlight
Plant height
Volume of water
Soil type
The independent variable is the factor that is deliberately manipulated, which in this case is how much sunlight the plants receive. Plant height would be the dependent variable measured in response.
What does the slope of the line y = 3x + 2 represent?
The rate of change of y with respect to x
The y-intercept of the line
The x value when y = 0
The constant term 2
In the equation y = mx + b, the slope m = 3 indicates how much y changes for a unit change in x. It quantifies the rate of change or steepness of the line.
A correlation coefficient of r = -0.85 indicates what kind of relationship between two variables?
A strong negative correlation
A weak negative correlation
A strong positive correlation
No correlation
A correlation coefficient close to -1 indicates a strong negative linear relationship, meaning as one variable increases, the other tends to decrease significantly.
Solve the quadratic equation x² - 5x + 6 = 0.
x = 2 or x = 3
x = -2 or x = -3
x = 1 or x = 6
x = 0 or x = 5
Factoring gives (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0, so the roots are x = 2 and x = 3. This uses the zero-product property in quadratic equations.
Which equation represents the relationship between distance d, speed v, and time t?
d = vt
v = dt
t = dv
d = v/t
Distance traveled is equal to speed multiplied by time (d = v × t). The other forms are not dimensionally correct for distance, speed, or time.
A p-value of 0.03 in a hypothesis test indicates what at the 0.05 significance level?
Results are statistically significant
Results are not statistically significant
There is a strong positive correlation
The effect size is large
A p-value below the chosen alpha level (0.05) means the observed data are unlikely under the null hypothesis, so we reject the null and deem the results statistically significant.
If a force of 50 N is applied to a mass of 10 kg, what is the acceleration (using a = F/m)?
5 m/s²
0.2 m/s²
500 m/s²
15 m/s²
Newton's second law gives a = F/m = 50 N / 10 kg = 5 m/s². This shows the direct proportionality between force and acceleration.
Solve the system of equations: 2x + y = 10 and x - y = 2.
x = 4, y = 2
x = 2, y = 6
x = 6, y = -2
x = -4, y = 18
Solving gives y = 10 - 2x; substituting into x - (10 - 2x) = 2 yields x = 4, then y = 2. This method uses substitution for linear systems.
Which of these is the correct order of steps in the scientific method?
Observation, hypothesis, experiment, conclusion
Hypothesis, observation, conclusion, experiment
Experiment, observation, hypothesis, conclusion
Conclusion, experiment, observation, hypothesis
The scientific method typically begins with observation, followed by forming a hypothesis, conducting experiments to test it, and drawing conclusions based on results.
A plot of temperature versus time shows a straight line rising at a constant rate. What type of relationship is this?
Linear relationship
Exponential relationship
Logarithmic relationship
Inverse relationship
A straight line indicates that temperature increases by the same amount in each equal time interval, which characterizes a linear relationship.
In an exothermic chemical reaction, the enthalpy change ΔH is:
Negative
Positive
Zero
Undefined
Exothermic reactions release energy to the surroundings, so the system loses enthalpy and ΔH is negative. Endothermic reactions have positive ΔH.
A linear regression yields the equation y = 2.5x - 1.2. What is the predicted y when x = 4?
8.8
9.2
10.0
7.6
Substitute x = 4 into the regression: y = 2.5(4) - 1.2 = 10 - 1.2 = 8.8. This prediction uses the line of best fit for estimation.
Evaluate the definite integral ∫₀³ 2x dx.
9
6
18
3
The integral of 2x is x². Evaluating from 0 to 3 gives 3² - 0² = 9. This computes the area under the curve between the given limits.
When comparing two sample means, overlapping error bars on their confidence intervals generally indicate:
No statistically significant difference
A statistically significant difference
A greater mean in the first sample
A lower variance in both samples
Overlapping confidence intervals suggest that the true means could be the same, so there is likely no significant difference at the chosen confidence level.
For the function f(x) = 3x² + 2x, what is the derivative f'(x)?
6x + 2
6x
3x + 2
2x + 3
Differentiating term by term gives d/dx(3x²)=6x and d/dx(2x)=2, so f'(x)=6x+2. This reflects the rate of change of f at any x.
A 5 kg object slides down a 30° incline of length 10 m. What work is done by gravity? (Use g = 9.8 m/s².)
245 J
490 J
98 J
122.5 J
Height h = 10·sin30° = 5 m. Work = mgh = 5 kg·9.8 m/s²·5 m = 245 J. This calculates gravitational potential energy change.
