If there were a total of 100 raffle tickets sold and you bought 8 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
14%
8%
19%
10%

Solution

You have 8 out of the total of 100 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{8}{100} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{8 \times 100}{100} \) = \( \frac{800}{100} \) = 8% chance to win the raffle.

3

On average, the center for a basketball team hits 25% of his shots while a guard on the same team hits 45% of his shots. If the guard takes 25 shots during a game, how many shots will the center have to take to score as many points as the guard assuming each shot is worth the same number of points?

42% Answer Correctly
27
37
44
24

Solution
If the guard hits 45% of his shots and takes 25 shots he'll make:

guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 25 x \( \frac{45}{100} \) = \( \frac{45 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{1125}{100} \) = 11 shots

The center makes 25% of his shots so he'll have to take:

shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \)
shots taken = \( \frac{\text{shots taken}}{\frac{\text{% made}}{100}} \)

to make as many shots as the guard. Plugging in values for the center gives us:

center shots taken = \( \frac{11}{\frac{25}{100}} \) = 11 x \( \frac{100}{25} \) = \( \frac{11 x 100}{25} \) = \( \frac{1100}{25} \) = 44 shots

to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.


4

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\({2 \over 5} \)

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


5

Find the average of the following numbers: 9, 3, 7, 5.

74% Answer Correctly
8
11
6
10

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{9 + 3 + 7 + 5}{4} \) = \( \frac{24}{4} \) = 6
