Inferences Test

A movie theater randomly samples the types of admission tickets sold on Friday in the afternoon and the evening. If 400 tickets are sold on a Friday afternoon, use your inference and proportional reasoning skills to determine how many of those 400 tickets would be adult tickets. Type your numerical answer only.

The two data sets show the number of days that team members trained before a 5k race. What inference can you draw by comparing the data?

• There is more variability in the number of days that Team A members trained because the IQR for Team A is greater than the IQR for Team B.

• There is more variability in the number of days that Team B members trained because the IQR for Team B is greater than the IQR for Team A.

• Team A members generally trained for more days than Team B members

• Team B members generally trained for more days than Team A members

What inference can you draw by comparing the data?

• There is more variability in the number of days that Team A members trained because the range for Team A is greater than the range for Team B.

• 75% of Team A's training was between 5 and 20 days.

• The interquartile range of Team B is about 20 days.

• Team A generally spends more time training since they have a higher median.

The dot plots show how long it took students in Mr. Chauncey's two science classes to finish their science homework last night. Find the average to make an inference about the data.

• The 1st period mean is 35. The 2nd period mean is 38.75. On average, it took students in the 1st period class slightly longer to finish their homework than it did the students in the 2nd period class.

• The 1st period mean is 38.75. The 2nd period mean is 35. On average, it took students in the 1st period class slightly longer to finish their homework than it did the students in the 2nd period class.

• The 1st period mean is 35. The 2nd period mean is 38.75. On average, it took students in the 2nd period class slightly longer to finish their homework than it did the students in the 1st period class.

• The 1st period mean is 38.75. The 2nd period mean is 35. On average, it took students in the 2nd period class slightly longer to finish their homework than it did the students in the 1st period class.

The table shows the monthly sales at a pizza parlor for a 6-month period. Which statement is the best inference that can be made from the table?

• January had the lowest sales.

• The period with the greatest increase in monthly sales was from May to June.

• Sales for July will be greater than $10,000.

• The sales will drop over the next 2-month period.

A representative sample of 80 customers in a clothing store was surveyed about how they paid for their purchases. The table shows the responses. Based on the results, which of the following are valid inferences. Select all that apply.

• Tomorrow, 8 out of the first 80 customers will for sure pay with a gift card.

• In a group of 40 customers, it is expected that about 10 will pay with cash.

• About 0.3, or 30%, of all the store's customers will pay with a credit card.

• A sample of 100 customers would provide less reliable data.

The manager of a music store surveyed a random sample of customer who shop in the store about their favorite type of music. The table shows the number of customers who selected each type of music. Based on the information in the table, which inference about the favorite type of music of all the customers who shop in the music store appears to be valid?

• They are certain to select rock or pop music.

• They are less likely to select country or rap music than rock music.

• They are more likely to select country music than jazz, classical, or rap music.

• They are certain to select any type of music other than jazz music.

A representative sample of 80 customers in a clothing store was surveyed about how they paid for their purchases. The table shows the responses. Based on the results, which of the following are valid inferences. Select two answer choices.

• In a group of 40 customers, it is expected that about 10 will pay with cash.

• About 30% of all the store's customers will pay with a credit card.

• A sample of 100 customers would provide less reliable data.
