Example Question #31 : Data Analysis
What is the missing number in the sequence:
In this sequence of numbers, there is an important pattern to recognize. Each number is less than the previous number by a difference that is double the margin between the previous two numbers. For example, the difference between and is And, the difference between and is . Thus, the missing number must be less than by a difference of --which means that is the missing number.
Example Question #32 : Data Analysis
What is the next number:
In this sequence of numbers, there is an important pattern to recognize. Each number is greater than the number prior to it by a margin of Thus,
Example Question #33 : Data Analysis
Find the missing number in the list:
In this sequence of numbers, there is an important pattern to recognize. Each number is less than the previous number in the sequence by a difference of . Thus, .
Example Question #34 : Data Analysis
What is the missing number in the following sequence:
In this sequence of numbers, there is an important pattern to recognize. Each number is greater than the number prior to it by a margin of . In other words, each number in this list is a multiple of . , , thus the next number in this sequence is the product of which equals .
Example Question #15 : How To Find The Missing Part Of A List
What is the missing value of in this sequence?
In this sequence, every subsequent number is less than the preceding number. Given that the number that precedes is , the value of w is . Therefore, is the correct answer.
Example Question #35 : Data Analysis
Use the following table to determine the cost of purchasing two books.
The relationship between the values is ,
where represents the cost of purchased books and represents the number of books purchased.
Once we realize this, we can determine how much purchasing two books would cost:
Example Question #36 : Data Analysis
Use the table to determine how much one cupcake would cost.
We can determine the relationship between the values by creating a ratio of number of cupcakes to cost:
Where represents the cost of 1 cupcake.
We can now solve for :
The cost of one cupcake is then $0.85
Example Question #37 : Data Analysis
The following table consists of the test grades from students. Use the table to determine how many students received a on the test.
We were told the grades are from students. The most direct way to solve this problem is to add the numbers of students listed so far:
We know there is a total of students so we can set up the equation:
which leaves us with .
So the missing value is eight.
Example Question #38 : Data Analysis
Use the table to determine how much one cupcake would cost.
We can determine the relationship between the values by creating a ratio of number of cupcakes to cost:
Where represents the cost of 1 cupcake.
We can now solve for :
The cost of one cupcake is then
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Common Part With A Venn Diagram
Students were asked if they prefer TV or radio. The following Venn Diagram depicts the number of students who said TV, radio, or both. How many students like both TV and radio?
7
15
12
22
7
The blue circle of the Venn diagram depicts the number of students who prefer TV, the orange circle depicts the number of students who prefer radio, and the region of overlap indicates the number of students who like both. Therefore, 7 students like both TV and radio.
