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 won the election outright.
Phelps, Creighton, and Wells will face one another in a runoff.
Phelps and Wells will face each other in a runoff.
Phelps and Creighton will face each other in a runoff.
None of the other choices is correct.
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 #201 : Data Analysis And Probability
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 was elected President and Creighton was elected 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 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 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 #2 : 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.
Creighton was elected Secretary-Treasurer.
Wells and Hawley will face each other in a runoff.
Wells 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 #12 : How To Find The Answer From A Table
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?
1980 to 1990
1970 to 1980
1960 to 1970
2000 to 2010
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.
