Question

2012 allocation of endowment funds for university x

  1. if the total income from the endowment in 2012 was $1.2 million, then how much more money went to faculty salaries than to administration?

a. $130,000 b. $156,000 c. $180,000 d. $684,000

  1. which of the following equations represents the line that passes through the two given points (-1,2) and (5, -4)?

a. y = 2x - 14 b. y = 2x + 3 c. y = -x - 1 d. y = -x + 1

  1. what is the y - intercept of the line with a slope of 2 that passes through the point (1, 2)?

a. -2 b. $-\frac{1}{2}$ c. 0 d. $\frac{1}{2}$
movie survey, by %
action - adventure
comedy 25
drama
mystery 32
foreign 6
other types 10

  1. the graph above shows the results of a survey that asked moviegoers to choose their favorite type of movie. if the chart represents all the people surveyed and if each person chose only one type of movie, then choose two numbers below that could properly complete the graph, showing values for action - adventure and for drama.

action - adventure drama
10 15 17
18 19 25
lower quartile median upper quartile
minimum maximum
20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 40 42 44 46 48 50

  1. based on the box plot above, which of the following can we infer about the data set?

a. the number that occurred the most times is 36.
b. the smallest number in the data set is 29.
c. most numbers in the data set are in the upper quartile.
d. most numbers in the data set are greater than 32

Explanation:

Question 1

Step1: Find the percentage difference

The percentage for Faculty salaries is \(37\%\) and for Administration is \(24\%\). The difference is \(37\% - 24\%=13\%\)

Step2: Calculate the amount

The total income is \(I = 1.2\times10^{6}\) dollars. The amount difference \(A\) is \(A=0.13\times1.2\times 10^{6}\)

$$A = 156000$$

Step1: Calculate the slope \(m\)

The formula for slope \(m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\), where \((x_1,y_1)=(-1,2)\) and \((x_2,y_2)=(5,-4)\)

$$m=\frac{-4 - 2}{5+1}=\frac{-6}{6}=-1$$

Step2: Use the point - slope form \(y - y_1=m(x - x_1)\)

Using \((x_1,y_1)=(-1,2)\) and \(m=-1\), we have \(y - 2=-1(x + 1)\)

$$y-2=-x - 1$$
$$y=-x+1$$

Step1: Use the point - slope form \(y - y_1=m(x - x_1)\)

Given \(m = 2\), \(x_1 = 1\), \(y_1=2\), \(y-2=2(x - 1)\)

$$y-2=2x-2$$
$$y=2x$$

The \(y\) - intercept \(b\) (when \(x = 0\)) is \(0\)

Answer:

B. \(\$156,000\)
