Homework occupies 10 out of a total of 30 hours, which converts to approximately 33%. This percentage is determined by dividing the homework hours by the total hours and multiplying by 100.
A scatter plot shows a positive correlation between study time and test scores. Which statement best describes this relationship?
As study time increases, test scores tend to increase.
As study time increases, test scores tend to decrease.
Study time and test scores are not related.
Both study time and test scores decrease simultaneously.
A positive correlation means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases. Thus, increased study time is associated with higher test scores.
A table of quarterly earnings for a company shows: Q1: $15,000, Q2: $20,000, Q3: $25,000, Q4: $30,000. What is the overall percentage growth from Q1 to Q4?
50%
75%
100%
125%
The overall growth is calculated by finding the difference between Q4 and Q1 ($30,000 - $15,000 = $15,000) and dividing it by the Q1 value, then multiplying by 100, which results in 100%.
A line graph shows that a reservoir's water level drops from 500 units to 300 units over 8 weeks. What is the average weekly decrease in water level?
