TEAS 7 Math Practice Test

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because in a negatively skewed distribution, the tail of the histogram extends to the left, indicating that there are more data points on the right side. In Group B, the histogram is negatively skewed, meaning it has a higher mean than Group A. Option A is incorrect because Group A is positively skewed, not negatively skewed. Option B is incorrect because Group A has a lower mean than Group B. Option D is incorrect because Group B has a higher mean than Group A due to its negatively skewed distribution.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To simplify the expression, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS). Step 1: 7 + 16 = 23 Step 2: 6 * 3 = 18, then (5 + 18) = 23 Step 3: Now, the expression becomes 23 - 23 - 10 * 2 Step 4: 23 - 23 = 0, and 10 * 2 = 20 Step 5: Finally, 0 - 20 = -20 Therefore, the correct answer is B (-20). Explanation for other choices: A: -42 - Incorrect because it doesn't follow the correct order of operations. C: 23 - Incorrect, as it doesn't account for all the operations in the expression. D: 20 - Incorrect, as it doesn't consider the subtraction and multiplication operations properly.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To determine the order of groups from smallest to largest, we need to compare the fractions given for each group. Given that 4/15 < 2/5 < 1/3: 1. Group Alpha (4/15) < Group Beta (2/5) < Group Gamma (1/3) Thus, the correct order is Group Alpha, Group Gamma, Group Beta (B). The rationale is based on comparing the fractions numerically to determine the relative sizes of the groups. The other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the order of fractions provided in the question, leading to incorrect group size comparisons.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To solve the equation 3(x + 4) = 18 for x, first distribute the 3: 3x + 12 = 18. Then, isolate x by subtracting 12 from both sides: 3x = 6. Finally, divide by 3 to find x = 2. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 6. Choice A is incorrect because x = 2, not 6. Choice B is incorrect because x = 4, not 6. Choice D is incorrect because x = 8, not 6.
