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 W has better fuel efficiency than car Y, but is worse than car
Z. | b. | Car Z has fuel efficiency worse than car Y, but is better than car
W | c. | Car X has the best fuel efficiency | d. | Car Y has the best fuel
efficiency |

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. | Plants with genotype Bb were 50% of the original population. | b. | Plants with genotype
bb were 25% of the original population. | c. | In the original population there were 20 Bb
genotype flowers. | d. | In the original population there were 40 BB
genotype flowers. |
