A set of temperature readings has a range of 5 degrees Celsius. What does this tell you about the data?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Option A is incorrect because the range of 5 degrees does not necessarily mean that the average temperature is 5 degrees Celsius. The average temperature could be any value within the range. Option B is incorrect because the range of 5 degrees does not mean that all temperatures are within 5 degrees of each other. It only indicates the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures. Option C is correct because the range of 5 degrees specifically refers to the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures in the set. This is a common definition of range in statistics. Option D is incorrect because the range of 5 degrees does not determine the number of temperatures in the set. The set could have more or fewer than 5 temperatures.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the full RDI, divide the amount of protein consumed (75 grams) by 30% (or 0.30): 75 · 0.30 = 250 grams. Therefore, the person needs 250 grams of protein to meet the full RDI. Choice A is correct because it accurately calculates the amount needed to reach the full RDI. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total amount of protein needed based on the given information.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: When a number is written in scientific notation as \(a \times 10^n\), the value of the number in standard form is obtained by multiplying \(a\) by \(10^n\). In this case, the number is \(4.82 \times 10^3\). To convert this to standard form, we multiply 4.82 by \(10^3\), which means moving the decimal point 3 places to the right. \(4.82 \times 10^3 = 4820\) Therefore, the value of the number in standard form is 4820, which corresponds to option C.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: 1. Convert milligrams to grams: 150 milligrams = 150/1000 = 0.15 grams. Therefore, the patient should take 0.15 grams per dose. Choice A (0.015 grams) is incorrect as the decimal point was misplaced, leading to a value that is too small. Choice C (1.5 grams) is incorrect as it represents 10 times the correct value. Choice D (15 grams) is incorrect as it represents 100 times the correct value. The correct conversion from milligrams to grams is 0.15 grams.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the total number of staff members, sum up the different roles: 25 (nurses) + 75 (assistants) + 5 (phlebotomists) + 6 (office staff) + 45 (physicians) = 156 total staff. Then, calculate 68% of the total staff: 156 0.68 = 106.08, which is approximately 106 people. Therefore, 106 people were working that day. Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given information.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert fluid ounces to gallons, you need to divide the number of fluid ounces by 128 because there are 128 fluid ounces in 1 gallon. Therefore, 3 fluid ounces · 128 equals approximately 0.0234 gallons. Choice A is correct. Choice B (0.5 gallons) is incorrect as it is equivalent to 64 fluid ounces, not 3. Choice C (0.38 gallons) and Choice D (0.12 gallons) are also incorrect conversions of 3 fluid ounces to gallons.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find out how many cups of sugar are needed for 90 cookies when 4 cups make 120 cookies, set up a proportion: 4/120 = x/90. Cross multiply to get 120x = 4 * 90. Solve for x to find x = 360/120 = 3. Therefore, 3 cups of sugar are needed for 90 cookies. Choice B (2 cups), Choice C (1.5 cups), and Choice D (4 cups) are incorrect because they do not align with the correct proportion calculation. The correct calculation shows that 3 cups of sugar are required for 90 cookies, as the recipe proportionally reduces when making fewer cookies.
