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: B

Rationale: To calculate the sum of numbers from 1 to 6, we use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series: n/2 * (first term + last term). In this case, n=6, first term=1, last term=6. So, 6/2 * (1 + 6) = 3 * 7 = 21. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 21. Explanation for other choices: A (30): Incorrect, as it is not the sum of numbers from 1 to 6. C (15): Incorrect, this is the sum of numbers from 1 to 5, not 1 to 6. D (13): Incorrect, this is the sum of numbers from 1 to 4, not 1 to 6.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C (40%). To calculate the percentage of total sales from CDs, you need to divide the number of CD sales by the total sales of all formats (CDs + vinyl + MP3). In this case, let's say CD sales were 400 units, vinyl sales were 300 units, and MP3 sales were 300 units, making the total sales 1000 units. To find the percentage of CD sales, divide 400 by 1000 and multiply by 100, yielding 40%. Choice A (55%) is incorrect as it overestimates CD sales. Choice B (25%) and Choice D (5%) are incorrect as they underestimate CD sales.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the percentage of patients hospitalized, we multiply the percentage who developed an infection by the percentage requiring hospitalization: 30% (infection rate) * 5% (hospitalization rate) = 1.5%. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1.50%. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the percentage of patients hospitalized based on the given data.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. In John's Gym, the monthly fee is $40 times the number of months (y = 40x), while in Ralph's Recreation Room, the monthly fee is $45 times the number of months (y = 45x). Since $40 is less than $45, it can be concluded that John's monthly membership fee is less than Ralph's monthly membership fee. Therefore, choice C is correct. Choice A is incorrect because John's fee is not equal to Ralph's fee. Choice B is incorrect because John's fee is actually less than Ralph's fee. Choice D is incorrect because a relationship can be determined based on the given information.
