Question 1

The median of the list is . What is the mean?

Solution

To solve this problem, find the median of the number sequence, which is the 5th, or n+6=10.

Therefore n=4. Then use n to replace the numbers and calculate the average, or mean, which is E.

Question 12

Suppose that is the product of three consecutive integers and that is divisible by . Which of the following is not necessarily a divisor of ?

Solution

We can look for counterexamples. For example, letting n = 13 *14 *15, we see that n is not divisible by 28, so (D) is our answer.

Also, whenever n is the product of three consecutive integers, n is divisible by 6.

It also mentions that it is divisible by 7, so the number is definitely divisible by all the factors of 42.

In our answer choices, the one that is not a factor of 42 is 28.

Question 13

A telephone number has the form , where each letter represents a different digit. The digits in each part of the numbers are in decreasing order; that is, , , and . Furthermore, , , and are consecutive even digits; , , , and are consecutive odd digits; and . Find .

Solution

Of all the digits 0-9, there are 5 odd digits: 1,3,5,7,9, and there are 4 even digits: 2,4,6,8.

The last four digits GHIJ are either 9753 or 7531, and the other odd digit (1 or 9) must be A, B, or C. Since A + B + C = 9, that digit must be 1. Thus the sum of the two even digits in ABC is 8.

DEF must be 864, 642, or 420, which respectively leave the pairs 2 and 0, 8 and 0, or 8 and 6, as the two even digits in ABC. Only 8 and 0 has sum 8, so ABC is 810, and the required first digit is 8.

Question 16

The mean of three numbers is more than the least of the numbers and less than the greatest. The median of the three numbers is . What is their sum?

Solution

Let m be the mean of the three numbers. Then the least of the numbers is m-10 and the greatest is m + 15. The middle of the three numbers is the median, 5. So

1/3 * [(m-10) + 5 + (m + 15)] = m, or m=10.

So the sum of the three numbers is 30.

Question 17

Which of the cones listed below can be formed from a sector of a circle of radius by aligning the two straight sides?


Solution

The straight lines will be joined together to form a single line on the surface of the cone, so 10 will be the slant height of the cone.

The curve line will form the circumference of the base. We can compute its length and use it to determine the radius.

The length of the curve line is 252/360 * 2 * pi *10 = 14 * pi. This is the circumference of a circle with radius 7.
