A teacher gives a survey to a class of 20 students, assigning each student a unique number 1 to 20, each representing an x-value. The teacher then asks the students to record the number of siblings they each have, with each answer representing a y-value.

If the teacher graphs the results on a coordinate plane, which statement is true?

• The graph does not represent a function because each x-value is only used once, even though some y-values may be repeated.

• The graph does not represent a function because some x-values are repeated even though y-values are only used once.

• The graph represents a function because each x-value is only used once even though some y-values may be repeated.

• The graph represents a function because some x-values are repeated even though y-values are only used once.

• The value f(165) is 1,085, and it represents there being 165 pounds of flour remaining after 1, 085 loaves of bread have been made.

• The value f(165) = 1,085, and it represents there being 1,085 pounds of flour remaining after 165 loaves of bread have been made.

• The value f(165) is 2,075, and it represents there being 165 pounds of flour remaining after 2,075 loaves of bread have been made.

• The value f(165) is 2,075, and it represents there being 2,075 pounds of flour remaining after 165 loaves of bread have been made.

A student solves the equation 6x - 7 = -3(x+1). The table shows the student's work.

Which equivalent equation could complete the table correctly?

• 6x - 7 = -3x - 3

• 6x - 7 = -3x + 1

• 6x - 7 = -2x - 2

• 6x - 7 = -2x + 1

The table shows the number of visitors to a national park for each month of the year.

A park ranger compares the number of visitors during the warmer months to the number of visitors during the colder months. Which statement is true?

• The colder months have a standard deviation of approximately 98, which is larger than the standard deviation of the warmer months.

• The colder months have a standard deviation of approximately 299, which is larger than the standard deviation of the warmer months.

• The warmer months have a standard deviation of approximately 194, which is larger than the standard deviation of the colder months.

• The warmer months have a standard deviation of approximately 517, which is larger than the standard deviation of the colder months.
