Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: x - y/2. To calculate the student's score, we need to consider the points gained and lost. For each correct answer, the student gains 1 point. For each incorrect answer, the student loses half a point. Since there are no points gained or lost for questions left blank, the expression x - y/2 correctly represents the score. Option B (x - y) does not account for losing half a point for incorrect answers. Option C (30 - (x + y)) does not consider the points gained for correct answers. Option D (30 - x - y/2) inverts the order of subtraction, leading to an incorrect calculation of the score.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the overall median, we first arrange the scores in ascending order: 78, 83, 92, 97. The median is the middle value, which is 92 in this case. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A is incorrect as it is not a score in the list. Choice C is incorrect as it is the median of the list, not the overall median. Choice D is incorrect as it is the average of all scores, not the median.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert feet to kilometers, we need to know that 1 kilometer is approximately 3280.84 feet. So, to find out how many kilometers 4382 feet is, we divide 4382 by 3280.84, which equals approximately 1.336 kilometers. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1.336 kilometers. Choice B: 14.376 kilometers is incorrect as it is too high. Choice C: 1.437 kilometers is incorrect as it is a close but slightly higher value. Choice D: 13.336 kilometers is incorrect as it is much higher than the actual value.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate relative error, we use the formula: (|Measured Value - True Value| / True Value) * 100%. In this case, the measured width is 36 inches and the true width is 75 inches. So, the relative error = (|36 - 75| / 75) * 100% = (39 / 75) * 100% = 52%. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 0.52%. Choice B (0.01%), C (0.99%), and D (0.10%) are incorrect as they do not correspond to the calculated relative error of 52% in this scenario.
