and 40 kilometers per hour | b. | rabbits that run slower than 10 kilometers per
hour | c. | rabbits that can run faster than 45 kilometers per

50% death rate | b. | There was an
increase in competition for limited food | c. | Favorable weather

The fuel efficiency of
four different cars is shown in the table below.
Fuel Efficiency
Data | Car | Fuel
Efficiency
(miles per gallon) | W | 21 | X | 29 | Y | 16 | Z | 42 | | |
Cars in the United States are rated according to
the miles traveled per gallons of gas burned which is abbreviated as MPG (miles per gallon). Cars
with higher MPG ratings are more efficient than cars with lower MPG ratings. Understanding
this fact, which answer choice below best matches the data in the table.
a. | Car Z has fuel efficiency worse than car Y, but is better than car
W | b. | Car W has better fuel efficiency than car Y, but is worse than car
Z. | c. | Car Y has the best fuel efficiency | d. | Car X has the best fuel
efficiency |

rabbit exhibits different fur colors depending on the season. The table below shows some data
collected on this rabbit species during the summer.
Rabbit Fur Color | Percentage of Population | Gray | 37% | Brown | 52% | Black | 10% | White | 1% | | |
Select the choice that best matches the information displayed
above. a. | Black, brown, and white fur rabbits make up 60 percent of the total
population. | b. | Rabbits with brown, black, & white fur comprise 48 % of the population in the
summer | c. | In July rabbits with gray, black, & white fur comprise 48 percent of the
population | d. | During the snowy winter
there will be more brown rabbits than white rabbits. |

Data for a population
of flowers is shown below for three different genotypes for petal color. (BB, Bb and bb). After 10
generations, the percent of each genotype changed, as shown in the table below.
Flower
Production Over Time | Petal Color Genotype | Original
Percent
of Population | Percent of Population
after 10
Generations | | BB | 50% | 55.0% | | Bb | 25% | 40.0% | | bb | 25% | 5.0% | | | |
If the original population had exactly 80
flowers, how many of these flowers were of the BB genotype?
a. | In the original population there were 40 BB genotype flowers. | b. | Plants with genotype
Bb were 50% of the original population. | c. | In the original population there were 20 Bb
genotype flowers. | d. | Plants with genotype bb were 25% of the
original population. |
