Example Question #181 : Data Analysis And Probability
The first six terms of a sequence are:
Which is the greater quantity?
(a) The tenth term of the sequence
(b)
(a) is greater.
(a) and (b) are equal.
It is impossible to tell from the information given.
(b) is greater.
(b) is greater.
The terms are generated by alternately subtracting two and adding two. The next four terms are:
Therefore (b) is greater.
Example Question #666 : Isee Upper Level (Grades 9 12) Quantitative Reasoning
A bag has 
Quantity A: The probability of choosing 
Quantity B: The probability of choosing 
Quantity A is greater.
The two quantities are equal.
Quantity B is greater.
The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
Quantity B is greater.
Quantity A: There are a total of 
Quantity B: The probability of choosing 
Quantity B is larger.
Example Question #182 : Data Analysis And Probability
If Joe flips a coin twice, what is the probability that at least one tail will occur?
There are four possible outcomes (with H being heads and T being tails): HH, HT, TT, TH. There are three outcomes that contain a tail: TH, HT, and TT. Therefore the probaility that at least one flip will show tails is 
Example Question #183 : Data Analysis And Probability
An arithmetic sequence begins
What number replaces the square?
Since this is an arithmetic sequence, each entry in the sequence is obtained by adding the same number to the previous entry - this number is
Let 
Example Question #31 : Sets
The first two terms of an arithmetic sequence are
Which of the following expressions is equivalent to the fifth term?
An arithmetic sequence is formed by adding the same expression to each term to get the next term; this common difference is
To obtain the fifth term, add 
Example Question #31 : How To Find The Missing Part Of A List
A geometric sequence begins
What number replaces the circle?
Since this is a geometric sequence, each entry in the sequence is obtained by multiplying the previous entry by the same number - this number is
Now we can find the next three entries in the sequence:
This replaces the square.
Example Question #32 : How To Find The Missing Part Of A List
An arithmetic sequence begins
What number replaces the circle?
Since this is an arithmetic sequence, each entry in the sequence is obtained by adding the same number to the previous entry - this number is
The next three entries in the sequence are computed as follows:
Example Question #33 : How To Find The Missing Part Of A List
A geometric sequence begins
What number replaces the square?
Each term of a geometric sequence is obtained by multiplying the previous one by the same number (common ratio); this number is
Let 
Example Question #32 : How To Find The Missing Part Of A List
The Fibonacci sequence is formed as follows:
For all integers 
Which of the following is true of 
To express 
Also
and
the correct choice.
Example Question #35 : How To Find The Missing Part Of A List
The Fibonacci sequence is defined as follows:
For integers 
Which is the greater quantity?
(a)
(b)
(b) is greater
(a) and (b) are equal
It is impossible to determine which is greater from the information given.
(a) is greater
(a) is greater
The Fibonacci sequence begins as follows:
This sequence is seen to be an increasing sequence. Therefore, each term is greater than its preceding term. In particular,
If we substitute 51 for 
This makes (a) greater.
