A. 336

B. 152

C. 144

D. 168

Answer Explanation:

100% represents total students four allied health program. Thus, 100%=800 students, and 19% joins respiratory care program is

  • Q #1: A consumer recently purchased a new car and paid $48,000. This amount is $2,000 less than twice what the consumer’s friend paid for their car. Which of the following is the amount that the friend paid for their car?

    A. $23,000

    B. $46,000

    C. $25,000

    D. $50,000

    Answer Explanation

    Let the amount the friend pays be x. Then, 2 times what the friend pays is 2x. Less $2,000 what the friend pays is 2x-2000.

    Now we know that

    2x-2000=48000

    Add 2000 to both sides of the equation

    2x-2000+2000=48000+2000

    2x+2000-2000=50000

    2x=50000

    Divide both sides by 2

    X=25000

    Thus, the friend pays $25,000 for their car.

  • Q #2: (x/y)-z=rw Solve for x in the equation above.

    A. X=y(z+rw)

    B. X=rw(y-z)

    C. X=rwy+z

    D. X=rwy-z

    Answer Explanation

    Given the equation (x/y)-z=rw, we make x the subject of the formula as follows:

    (x/y)-z=rw

    Add z to both sides of the equation

    (x/y)-z+z=rw+z

    (x/y)=rw+z

    Multiply both sides by y

    (x/y)*y=y(rw+z)

    X=y(rw+z)

    Rearranging the equation results in:

    X = y(z+rw)

  • Q #3: A teacher asked all the students in the class which days of the week they get up after 8 a.m. Which of the following is the best way to display the frequency for each day of the week?

    A. Histogram

    B. Pie graph

    C. Bar graph

    D. Scatter plot

    Answer Explanation

    The best way to display the frequency of each day of the week when students get up after 8 a.m. is by using a bar graph. Bar graphs are well-suited for representing categorical data, where each day of the week is a separate category, and the height of each bar corresponds to the count or frequency of students waking up late on that specific day.

    Note: Histograms, on the other hand, are more appropriate for visualizing continuous or numerical data and are not ideal for categorical data like days of the week. Histograms are useful for understanding the distribution of data, identifying patterns, and assessing the shape of the data distribution, such as whether it's normally distributed, skewed, or has multiple modes.

    As you can see below, the Histogram is used to depict a pattern/continuous/range data. While a bar graph does just fine even with discrete data.
