Example Question #98 : Tables
Use the chart below to answer the question.
How many more students have a sibling in the fourth grade group than the third grade group?
Each square represents students. The fourth grade bar has squares in it, which means there are students who have a sibling ().The third grade bar has squares in it, which means there are students who have a sibling ().
To find the difference we subtract.
Example Question #99 : Tables

How many more students have a sibling in the second grade group than the third grade group?
Each square represents students. The second grade bar has squares in it, which means there are students who have a sibling ().The third grade bar has squares in it, which means there are students who have a sibling ().
To find the difference we subtract.

How many students have a sibling in the fourth grade group and the third grade group?
Each square represents students. The fourth grade bar has squares in it, which means there are students who have a sibling ().The third grade bar has squares in it, which means there are students who have a sibling ().
To find the total in both grades we add.
Example Question #161 : Data Analysis And Probability
Use the chart below to answer the question.
How many students have a sibling in the second grade group and the first grade group?
Each square represents students. The second grade bar has squares in it, which means there are students who have a sibling ().The first grade bar has squares in it, which means there are students who have a sibling ().
To find the total in both grades we add.
Example Question #21 : Representing And Interpreting Data
Use the chart below to answer the question.
How many students in fourth grade have a sibling?
Each square represents students. The fourth grade bar has squares in it. That means we can take to find our total.
Example Question #1 : Sets
A geometric sequence begins as follows:
Which is the greater quantity?
(a) The seventh term of the sequence
(b)
It is impossible to tell from the information given
(a) is greater
(b) is greater
(a) and (b) are equal
(a) is greater
The common ratio of the sequence is , so the next four terms of the sequence are:
, the seventh term, which is greater than 3,000.
Example Question #2 : Sets
Seven students are running for student council. A student can vote for any three. Steve wants to vote for his girlfriend Marsha.
Which is the greater quantity?
(a) The number of ways Steve can fill out his ballot so that he can vote for Marsha
(b)
(b) is greater
(a) is greater
It is impossible to tell from the information given
(a) and (b) are equal
(a) and (b) are equal
Since one of Steve's votes has already been decided, this is a choice of two out of the remaining six without regard to order - that is, the number of combinations of two out of a set of six. This is
Example Question #3 : Sets
Eight students are running for student council. A student can vote for any two. Phil only wants to vote for male candidates; Sandee only wants to vote for female candidates.
Which is the greater quantity?
(a) The number of ways Phil can fill out his ballot so that he can vote for two male candidates
(b) The number of ways Sandee can fill out her ballot so that she can vote for two female candidates
(b) is greater
It is impossible to tell from the information given
(a) is greater
(a) and (b) are equal
It is impossible to tell from the information given
This question is impossible to answer, because it is not known how many candidates are male and how many are female.
