REVIEW MODULE 1: DERIVING CONCLUSIONS

BASED ON NOTATION QUIZ

Step 1 of 1

Question 1 of 14

You work in IT on many different platforms (PC, Mac, Linux, etc.) with different types
of software and tools. One of your friends also works in IT. She is the administrator
of a college learning management system.

Which choice is a qualitative variable?

The number of platforms you work on in one day

The fact that your friend and you both work in IT

The platform you work on for any given project

Your job title

Correct! A variable is something that can vary. Your varying work

responsibilities are an example of a qualitative variable.

You just started a lawn company. You spent $200 in initial costs, and you earn $150
per month. Which function can be used to predict your profit after x months?

F(x) = 200x– 150

F(x) = 150x– 200

F(x) = 150x + 200

F(x) = 200x + 150

Correct! Profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost. You earn
$150 per month (revenue), and you subtract your initial cost.

Question 3 of 14

The heat on a stove brings a pot of water to a boil.

Which variable is the independent variable?

The temperature of the stove

The temperature of the water

Incorrect. The temperature of the stove directly affects the temperature of the
water, not the other way around.

Question 4 of 14

Which represents the inputs and outputs of a function?

Input: Number of vacation days; Output: Annual salary

Input: Speed of car; Output: Distance traveled in one hour

Input: Scores on an algebra assignment; Output: The number of students in

an algebra class

Input: The number of the news channel; Output: The number of TV shows on
at 7:00 p.m.

Incorrect. Each score could have multiple students with the same score. An
input would not produce just one output, therefore this is not a function.

Question 5 of 14

A job report displays monthly costs of advertising and monthly revenue. It shows
that revenue is usually three times the cost of advertising. Assuming this pattern
continues, what is the expected revenue, if the company spends $6,000 on
advertising?

$12,000

$9,000

$2,000

$18,000

Correct! Three times $6,000 is $18,000.

Question 6 of 14

Crime starts increasing in a neighborhood. In response, the local police station

increases the number of patrols they do in the neighborhood.

Which variable is the independent variable in this context?

The number of patrols

The number of crimes

8/30/24, 3:07 PM Review Module 1: Deriving Conclusions Based on Notation Quiz | Acrobatiq

Correct! In this context, the increase in crimes explains and affects the change
in the number of patrols in the neighborhood.

Question 7 of 14

You are an IT manager with six people on your team. Each team member works 40
guaranteed hours a week. If a new software tool or platform is rolled out, more help
is needed for customer support, and your team members may work a few hours of
overtime.

Which of the following choices listed is a variable?

The number of overtime hours

Forty guaranteed hours of work

Six team members

Providing customer support

Correct! The number of overtime hours can vary week to week.

Question 8 of 14

You want to drain your rectangular in-ground swimming pool, which contains 9,000
gallons of water. The amount of water remaining in the pool can be represented by
the function W(t) = 9– 2t, where t is the time, in hours, after the draining began.
The function, W(t), is measured in thousands of gallons.

How many gallons of water are in the pool two hours after the draining procedure
begins?

5,000 gallons

7,000 gallons

8/30/24, 3:07 PM Review Module 1: Deriving Conclusions Based on Notation Quiz | Acrobatiq

4,000 gallons

5 gallons

Incorrect. This is the amount of water left after just one hour. Each hour 2,000
gallons of water are drained. So if 2 hours have passed, then 2,000 (2) = 4,000
gallons of water have drained.

Question 9 of 14

What describes a quantitative variable?

Populations of cities in the United States

States in the United States

Dog breeds

Primary colors (red, blue, and yellow)

Correct! A quantitative variable is a numerical value. Population is a number

and can be measured.

Question 10 of 14

Which of these would most likely be an independent and dependent variable pair?

Number of package deliveries and number of people with blonde hair

Finishing times for a marathon and the price of milk

House sales and food sales

Incorrect. There is not a likely relation between these variables.

Question 11 of 14

Which variable is a qualitative variable?

Your salary

Your shirt color

Your bank account number

Your child's name

Correct! Your shirt color may vary daily, and it is a non-numerical value, so it is a
qualitative variable.

Question 12 of 14

The price of gasoline is $2.50 per gallon. The cost, C, can be represented by the
function C(n) = 2.5n, where n is the number of gallons of gasoline.
What is the inverse function?

The inverse function gives the number of gallons of gasoline as a function of

the cost when the price of gasoline varies.

The inverse function gives the cost as a function of the number of gallons of
gasoline, when the price of gasoline is $2.50 per gallon.

The inverse function gives the number of gallons of gasoline as a function of

the cost when the price of gasoline is $2.50 per gallon.

The inverse function gives the price of gasoline as a function of the number
of gallons of gasoline.

Incorrect. This is the original function.

later notice that the number of crimes has decreased.

Which variable is the independent variable in this context?

The number of law enforcement officers

neighborhood, since their presence tends to deter crime.

Which choice is a variable?

Correct! A variable is something that can change. Weight is something that

likely changes over time.
