Example Question #1 : How To Find The Answer From A Table
The above circle graph shows the results of a school election. According to the rules, the election falls to the student who wins the majority of the votes; if no student wins a majority, the top two vote-getters will face each other in a runoff, with the winner being elected.
Which of the following is the result of this election?
Phelps and Wells will face each other in a runoff.
Phelps won the election outright.
Phelps and Creighton will face each other in a runoff.
None of the other choices is correct.
Phelps, Creighton, and Wells will face one another in a runoff.
Phelps and Creighton will face each other in a runoff.
Since each of the six portions of the graph takes up less than half, no one won a majority. Therefore, there will be a runoff. The two largest portions are light blue (Phelps) and orange (Creighton), so Phelps and Creighton got the most and second-most votes, and they will face each other in a runoff.
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Answer From A Table
The above circle graph shows the results of a school election. According to the rules, the office of President falls to the student who wins the most votes, and the office of Vice-President falls to the student who finishes second. A runoff only happens in case of a tie.
Which of the following is the result of this election?
Phelps and Creighton will face each other in a runoff to determine which will be President and which will be Vice-President.
Phelps and Wells will face each other in a runoff to determine which will be President and which will be Vice-President.
Phelps was elected President; Creighton and Wells will face each other in a runoff to determine who will be Vice-President.
Phelps was elected President and Wells was elected Vice-President.
Phelps was elected President and Creighton was elected Vice-President.
Phelps was elected President and Creighton was elected Vice-President.
The two largest portions of the pie graph are light blue (Phelps) and orange (Creighton); Phelps got the most votes and Creighton got the second-most. Therefore, Phelps was elected President and Creighton was elected Vice-President - there will be no runoffs.
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Answer From A Table
The above circle graph shows the results of a school election. According to the rules, the office of President falls to the student who wins the most votes; the office of Vice-President falls to the student who finishes second; the office of Secretary-Treasurer falls to the student who finishes third. A runoff only happens in case of a tie.
Which candidate was elected Secretary-Treasurer?
Wells and Creighton will face each other in a runoff.
Wells and Hawley will face each other in a runoff.
Wells was elected Secretary-Treasurer.
Creighton was elected Secretary-Treasurer.
Hawley was elected Secretary-Treasurer.
Wells was elected Secretary-Treasurer.
The third-largest portion of the circle graph is gray, which, according to the legend, corresponds to Wells's share of the vote. Wells was elected Secretary-Treasurer outright.
Example Question #1 : Tables
Below is a table that gives the population of Washington City for six census years.
Which of the following decades saw the greatest growth in the city's population?
1960 to 1970
2000 to 2010
1980 to 1990
1970 to 1980
2000 to 2010
For each decade, take the difference of the population of the last year and that of the first year. We can omit 1990 to 2000, as the population declined over that decade.
1960-70:
1970-80:
1980-90:
2000-10:
The greatest growth occurred between 2000 and 2010.
Example Question #4 : How To Find The Answer From A Table
The table below gives the number of students who scored in each of five ranges on a standardized test.
No student scored below .
What percent of the students scored or less (nearest whole percent)?
More information is need to answer the question.
Add the students who finished in the bottom two ranges (--
and
):
Now add all the students from all five ranges:
To figure out what percent of all of the students finished in the bottom two ranges, calculate:
The correct choice is .
Example Question #138 : How To Find The Probability Of An Outcome
Use the following table to answer the question.
How many students received an A in math?
When looking at the table
we can see that is shows several students and within the subjects of Math, Science, and Art what grades those students received in those classes.
So, going over the table briefly, we can see the first student Katrina. We see for Math she received an A. For science, Katrina received an A. And for Art, Katrina got a B. We can read the table similarly for the remaining students.
Now, the question asks how many students received an A in math. So we will look through the table and locate Math. Once we locate Math, we will look at the grade that corresponds with it (In this example, we do not care about who the student is. We just care about the grade). So, we will count the number of A's we see matched up to the subject Math.
Once we do that, we see there are 3 students who received A's in Math (Katrina, Chris, and Fionn).
Example Question #5 : How To Find The Answer From A Table
Use the following table to answer the question.
What is the total number of students in Math and History?
Let's look at the table.
we can see the first column is showing the different classes (Math, Science, History, and Art). The second column shows the number of students in each of those classes.
So, the question is asking how many total students are in Math and History. We will find the number of students in Math, and find the number of students in History, then add them together. So,
