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: The correct answer is B because it accurately describes the rate of change as the snow melting by 5 centimeters every day. This statement represents a consistent decrease in the snow level over time. Choice A is incorrect as it implies a higher rate of melting than what is described. Choice C is incorrect as it describes an increase rather than a decrease. Choice D is also incorrect as it describes an increase instead of the intended decrease in snow level. Therefore, choice B is the most accurate representation of the rate of change in this scenario.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To determine the correct dosage, multiply the patient's weight (60 kg) by the prescribed dosage (5 mg/kg): 60 kg x 5 mg/kg = 300 mg. Choice C is correct. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculation. Choice A (100 mg) is too low, Choice B (150 mg) is also too low, and Choice D (400 mg) is too high based on the calculation.

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 find the approximate number of people who voted for the proposition, we multiply the town's population by the percentage that voted: 51,623 * 9.5% = 51,623 * 0.095 = 4,904. Therefore, approximately 5,000 people voted for the proposition. Choice A (3,000) is too low because 9.5% of the population would result in more voters. Choice C (7,000) is too high because it exceeds the calculation based on the given percentage. Choice D (10,000) is also too high as it overestimates the number of voters based on the percentage provided.
