Aeronautical researchers have developed three different processes to pack a parachute. They want to compare the different processes in terms of time to deploy and reliability. There are 1,200 objects that they can drop with a parachute from a plane. Using a table of random digits, the researchers will randomly place the 1,200 items into three equally sized treatment groups suitable for comparison.
Which of the following accurately lists all of the discontinuities for the function graphed below?

In triangle MNP, and units. What is the approximate length of PN?

A new cream was developed to reduce the irritation caused by poison ivy. To test the effectiveness, researchers placed an ad online asking for volunteers to participate in the study, and 100 subjects replied. They are informed that one group of 50 will receive a new cream and the remaining group of 50 will receive a cream with no active ingredient. The subjects are numbered 1–100 and these numbers are put into a random number generator. The first 50 unique numbers will represent the subjects that will receive the new cream and the remaining 50 subjects will receive the inactive cream. All subjects are exposed to poison ivy and given their cream. They are asked to return in three days and report their level of irritation. The average scores for each cream are compared.
The amount of a sample remaining after t days is given by the equation , where A is the initial amount of the sample and h is the half-life, in days, of the substance. A sample contains 18% of its original amount of Radon-222. The half-life of Radon-222 is about 3.8 days. Which is the best estimate for the age of the sample?

A new cream was developed to reduce the irritation caused by poison ivy. To test the effectiveness, researchers put an ad online asking for volunteers to participate in the study. One hundred subjects replied and were informed that one group would receive the new cream and the other would receive a cream with no active ingredient. All 100 subjects were exposed to poison ivy. Fifty were then assigned to the group with the new cream, and 50 were assigned to the group with the cream with no active ingredient. After three days, technicians recorded the subjects’ level of irritation.
Which of the following is the inverse of ?





The acceleration y, in meters per second squared, of an object after x seconds is given by y = .During the first 10 seconds, over which intervals is the acceleration increasing?

The president of the student council wants to survey the student population about parking. She decides to take a random sample of 100 of the 1,020 students at the school. She gets an alphabetical list of the students, and numbers them from 0001 to 1020. Then, using a random number table, and starting at a random line, she selects 100 unique numbers between 0001 and 1020. Is this a simple random sample?
A city official would like to know if there is public support for increasing funding for arts programs. To collect data, the city official stands outside a concert hall after a show and surveys the first 20 people to exit about their opinion of raising funds for the arts. Which of the following best describes any bias that may arise from the results?
What is the additive inverse of the complex number –12 + 4i?

A tire company wants to determine if tires made with a new type of tread will last longer than tires made with the original type of tread. The company has access to 24 different vehicles. Each vehicle will receive four tires with the new tread and four with the original tread. The position, front or back, will be randomly determined for a pair of each type of tread. For example, a vehicle will have the new type of tread on the front tires and the original tread on the back tires. After six months, the pairs of unused tires will be used with the position switched on the car. The vehicles will be driven for six more months. At the end of one year, the depths of the remaining tread will be measured for each tire and the average differences between the new and original tread types will be determined. The average differences will then be used to determine if the new tread does last longer.
A farmer sows 100 seeds of a new type of corn and wants to quickly determine the yield, or total number of ears of corn, for the crop when it has matured. He decides to take a simple random sample of 10 corn plants. He labels the 100 plants 00–99. Refer to the given line from a random number table. Which numbers represent the sample of 10 corn plants?58160 09695 38399 40400 32662 46254
