    Study Notes

    Sport Balls Cost Estimation

    • Cost of soccer ball: $4.99, baseball: $1.46, basketball: $12.54, football: $8.89, volleyball: $6.43
    • Estimate total cost for one of each ball by rounding:
      • Soccer: $5, Baseball: $1, Basketball: $13, Football: $9, Volleyball: $6
      • Total estimated cost: $34 (Option C).

    Equations for Darts Purchase

    • Marty has $80, spends $56 on a shirt.
    • Cost per box of darts is $6.
    • Correct equation to find number of boxes (x) he can buy: (80 = 56 + 6x) (Option A).

    Triangle Angle Measure

    • Given angles: 70° and 30°.
    • To find angle (x): (180° - (70° + 30°) = 80°) (Option C).

    Angles with Parallel Lines

    • Lines (a) and (b) are parallel, (c) is a transversal.
    • Key angle relation: (m∠1 = m∠4) because they are vertical angles (Option D).

    Expression of Mathematical Relationships

    • "4 less than twice a number (n)" expressed as: (2n - 4) (Option D).

    Katelyn’s Bowling Scores

    • Scores: Week 1: 136, Week 2: 145, Week 3: 123, Week 4: 140.
    • Mean score over four weeks: 136.
    • Fifth week score: 126, new mean will decrease (Option B), calculated decrease is by 2.

    Student Activities Involvement

    • Percent involvement: clubs 45%, sports 60%, music 75%.
    • Misrepresentation example from circle graph: total involvement percent exceeds 100% (Option D).

    Mathematical Expression Evaluation

    • Evaluate (12 + 2(12 - 9)^2):
      • Calculate (12 - 9 = 3); square is (9); then (2 \cdot 9 = 18); finally (12 + 18 = 30) (Option B).

    Fraction Value Calculation

    • Calculate ( \frac{2}{3} + (-\frac{1}{6})):
      • Convert ( \frac{2}{3} ) to sixths: ( \frac{4}{6} + (-\frac{1}{6}) = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} ) (Option A).

    Expression Resulting in -2

    • The expression that equals -2: (-4 + 2) (Option D).

    Probability of Rolling a Die

    • Probability of rolling a 6 twice in succession:
      • ( \left( \frac{1}{6} \right) \times \left( \frac{1}{6} \right) = \frac{1}{36} ) (Option A).

    Inequality Expression for x

    • Solve for x in (6 - 4x \leq 26):
      • Rearranging gives (x \geq -5) (Option D).

    Pythagorean Theorem Application

    • Using theorem to find (c) in right triangle with sides 2 and 4:
      • (c = \sqrt{2^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{20} ) (Option B).

    Identifying Square Vertices

    • Vertices of a square must be equally spaced and form right angles.
    • Correct points include: points A, C, E, D (Option A).

    Heart Rate Data Analysis

    • Heart rates: 78, 71, 79, 80, 40, 71; identified outlier: 40.
    • The measure of central tendency least affected by removing an outlier: median (Option B).
