6A - FAST Practice Test

Mr. Balboa gives a survey to a sample of students at Wilson Middle School.

Select all the questions that Mr. Balboa could ask that will generate numerical data with variation.

• How many letters are in the English alphabet?

• What is the total number of fluid ounces in one gallon?

• How many classrooms does Wilson Middle School have?

• What is the greatest number of pencils a student at Wilson Middle School has?

• What is the average number of books read by each of Ms. Garcia's classes over the summer?

Answer explanation

Yes, the greatest number of pencils one student has is one number, but to get that data, you would have had to ask all the students in the school and would have gotten many different pieces of data along the way.

Yes, the average number of books is one number, but to get that average you must gather all the data from the classes to calculate that average.

An expression is shown.

(22.4)(2.65)

What is the value of the expression?
