Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Group A is positively skewed, Group B is normal. In a double bar graph, skewness can be identified based on the distribution of bars. 1. Positive skewness means the tail of the distribution extends to the right, indicating a higher frequency of lower values. 2. Looking at Group A, if the bars are concentrated on the left side with a few bars extending to the right, it suggests positive skewness. 3. Group B being normal implies a symmetrical distribution with no skewness. Therefore, B is correct as it correctly describes the skewness of Group A and Group B based on the given information. Summary: A: Incorrect - Group A is positively skewed, not negatively skewed. C: Incorrect - Group B is normal, not neutral. D: Incorrect - Group A is positively skewed, not normal.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To solve for x in the equation x + 5 = x - 3, we need to isolate x. Subtract x from both sides to get 5 = -3. This is not possible, so the equation has no solution. Therefore, the correct choice is A: x = -5. This is because when x = -5, -5 + 5 = -5 - 3 simplifies to 0 = -8, which is false. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not satisfy the original equation when substituted back in.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 1,000 mm. This is because there are 1,000 millimeters in a meter. The metric system is based on units of 10, so to convert meters to millimeters, you multiply by 1,000 (10 x 10 x 10). Therefore, 1 meter equals 1,000 millimeters. Choice A (100 mm) is incorrect as it represents centimeters, not millimeters. Choice C (10,000 mm) and Choice D (100,000 mm) are incorrect because they are multiples of 1,000 and would be equivalent to 10 meters and 100 meters respectively, not millimeters.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the ratio of students with brown eyes to students with green eyes, we divide the number of students with brown eyes by the number of students with green eyes. In this case, 14 students with brown eyes divided by 2 students with green eyes equals 7. Therefore, the correct ratio is 7:1 (choice A). Choice B is incorrect as it represents the ratio of 7:2, which is the reverse of the given scenario. Choice C is incorrect as it shows the ratio of 14:2, which can be further simplified to 7:1. Choice D is incorrect as it incorrectly states the ratio as 14:1, which is not the case based on the information provided.
