ATI TEAS Math Practice Test

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1/2. When flipping a fair coin, there are only two possible outcomes - heads or tails. Since each outcome is equally likely, the probability of getting heads is 1 out of 2, or 1/2. Choice B (1/3), C (1/4), and D (1/5) are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the equally likely outcomes of a coin flip. The probability of getting heads is always 1/2 when flipping a fair coin.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the final dosage, we first reduce 310 mg by 1/5, which is 310 * (1 - 1/5) = 248 mg. Then, we further reduce it by 20 mg, resulting in 248 - 20 = 228 mg. Therefore, the patient's final dosage is 228 mg. Option A (20 mg) is incorrect because it only accounts for the second reduction. Option B (42 mg) is incorrect as it doesn't consider both reductions. Option D (248 mg) is incorrect as it doesn't factor in the second reduction.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To simplify the expression, we first multiply: (3)(-4) = -12, (3)(4) = 12. Substitute these values back into the expression: -12 + 12 - 1 = -1. Therefore, the correct answer is A (-1). Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the calculated result of -1.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because in this study, the dependent variable is what is being measured or affected (average hours worked per week), and the independent variable is what is being manipulated or controlled (hospital staff types). The average hours worked per week can vary based on the different types of hospital staff, so the staff types are the independent variable. The incorrect choices fail to correctly distinguish between the dependent and independent variables, mixing up the roles of nurses, physicians, and hospital staff with the average hours worked per week.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D (6.97 hours). To calculate the total time taken, first find the time for the first segment: 305 miles / 65 mph = 4.69 hours. Then add the 15-minute stop in hours: 15 minutes / 60 = 0.25 hours. Next, find the time for the second segment: 162 miles / 80 mph = 2.025 hours. Add up these times: 4.69 hours + 0.25 hours + 2.025 hours = 6.965 hours, which rounds to 6.97 hours. Choice A is incorrect as it does not account for the distance covered and the stop. Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not consider the time for the second segment.
