  1. 5/36
  2. 1/6
  3. 7/36
  4. 1/4

Answer: A. 5/36

The five ordered outcomes (2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3) and (6,2) out of 36 give a probability of 5/36.

2. What is the median of the data set 3, 5, 7, 8, 12?
  1. 5
  2. 7
  3. 8
  4. 7.5

Answer: B. 7

The middle value in the ordered set of five observations is 7.

3. A vector has components 3 and 4 along perpendicular axes. What is its magnitude?
  1. 7
  2. 4
  3. 5
  4. 25

Answer: C. 5

Its magnitude is sqrt(3^2 + 4^2) = sqrt(25) = 5.

4. Point P(2, -3) is reflected in the y-axis. What are the coordinates of its image?
  1. (2, 3)
  2. (-2, 3)
  3. (3, -2)
  4. (-2, -3)

Answer: D. (-2, -3)

Reflection in the y-axis changes the sign of the x-coordinate but leaves the y-coordinate unchanged.

5. The bearing of Q from P is 060°. What is the bearing of P from Q?
  1. 240°
  2. 120°
  3. 300°
  4. 060°

Answer: A. 240°

The reverse bearing is 060° + 180° = 240°.
