Based on the graph, which question can be answered?

Possible Answers:

Are there more cats than dogs in Miami?

On average, how many dogs does each person in the five cities have?

How many cats does each person in Pawnee have on average?

What is the population of Duluth?

Do people own more male or female cats in Jonestown?

Correct answer:

Are there more cats than dogs in Miami?

Explanation:

The bar chart only tells us the number of cats and dogs in each city. It doesn't tell us how many people live in each city, so nothing can be said about the number of dogs or cats per person.

Based on the table above, which question can be answered?

Possible Answers:

Are cheetahs faster than humans?

How fast does George run on February 18?

Does George run more slowly on February 8 or February 17?

Why does George get steadily faster in February?

Do cheetahs have spots?

Correct answer:

Does George run more slowly on February 8 or February 17?

Explanation:

The chart gives us information about George's run times in a specific period of time: February 8 through February 17. While cheetahs may be faster than humans, the chart cannot answer that; it also does not say whether cheetahs have spots, or how fast George ran on February 18.

Example Question #33 : Data Analysis

Use the following table to answer the question.

Table1

Which student has the most books?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When looking at the following table

Table1

We can see the first column is a list of students.  The second column is a list of numbers of books.  So, we can see the names of each student.  Next to each name, is a number.  This number is the number of books that student has.

So, if we are trying to find the student with the most books, we will first locate the largest number. That number is 5.  Now, we will see which name is written next to that number.  We see that it is Emma.

Therefore, Emma has the most books.

Example Question #35 : Data Analysis

Use the following table to answer the question.

Table5

Fill in the missing information.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If we look at the table

Table5

we can see the first column is a set of numbers.  The second column is taking the numbers and squaring them.  

For example, let's look at the first row.  We have the number 1.  When we square 1, , we get 1.

Let's look at the second row.  We have the number 2.  When we square 2, , we get 4.

Let's look at the third row.  We have the number 3.  When we square 3, , we get 9.  

And so on....

 

So, to find the missing information, we take the first number and square it. So, we have the number 6.  When we square 6, , we get 36.

Therefore, the missing information is 36.

Example Question #36 : Data Analysis

Example Question #34 : Data Analysis

Use the following table to answer the question.

Table7

Whose favorite color is red?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When looking at the table

Table7

we need to determine who has red as their favorite color.  We can see the second column is showing the students' favorite colors.  So, we will look at the second column and find the color red.  We see red is in the 4th row.  Now, if we follow along that same row, and look in the first column, we will see the student's name.  We can see that the student is Meagan.

Therefore, the student with red as their favorite color is Meagan.

Example Question #35 : Data Analysis

Use the following table to answer the question:

Table7

Which students have the same favorite food?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When looking at the table

Table7

we need to find the students who have the same favorite food.  

We can see in the last column, it is showing a list of favorite food.  If we look through the list, we can see that "pizza" appears two times.  It appears in the first row and the last row.  Now, we must determine who has pizza as their favorite food.

When we look at the first row containing pizza, if we look to the left, we can see the student is Emma.  

When we look at the last row containing pizza, if we look to the left, we can see the student is Tyson.

Therefore, the students who have the same favorite food are Emma and Tyson.
