A. The average interest rate charged on business and home mortgage loans was higher during the decade 1975-1985 than it had been in any previous decade.

B. The increase in net worth of average American families during the years 1975-1985 was largely due to an increase in the value of residential homes.

SALES PROFICIENCY TEST This test includes 1o questions. For each scenario-based question, instructions may differ to represent the range of possible types of questions. So, read each question very carefully. Instructions: Read the questions very carefully. Good luck!

1: You have been working hard on a project report for the last two days, and have almost completed it. You suddenly receive some new information from a colleague which could be of use, but have little time left to make any changes. You need to submit the report by the end of the day. What do you do?

A. You read through the new information, and change the report to include it. You are happy to make last-minute changes.

B. You decide to continue working on the report as it is, and will look over the new information if you have time once you are finished.

C. You feel confident in submitting the report without using the new information. You know you do not have enough time to make any changes to your report so close to the deadline.

D. You scan through the new information, and check whether there is anything important to include. Although it is close to the deadline, you are willing to adapt the report

2: In the past month one of your employees has shown a major decline in sales performance. Although the decline has been ongoing for a couple of months, it has been particularly steep during the past two weeks. In addition, she has started coming in late and seems very frustrated with her work. Her behaviour is influencing the atmosphere in the office as she is a popular employee and has been working for the company for the past two years. What would you do and why? Choose the BEST option.

A. You feel that since she is a very popular employee it is crucial that she be replaced temporarily or else office performance will suffer. You assign her to back office tasks for the time being and promise her that once her performance improves, you will re-instate her in her former position.

B. You meet with the employee and explain that her negative behaviour is affecting not only her performance but that of the entire office. You express a sincere desire to help her during her rough patch on condition that she cooperate with you and improve her attitude.

www.teststreams.com

C. You decide to let it blow over. She has been a consistently good employee until recently and you feel you need to "cut her some slack". Part of your job is to be sensitive to your employees' needs when necessary.

D. You call a staff meeting to talk about the negative atmosphere in the office. You single out the problematic employee and discuss her contribution to this atmosphere in the hope that her behaviour will improve.

3: The human resource (HR) department's internal admin team is currently understaffed, so you have been seconded by the HR team to support their internal administrative requirements. However, you have received almost no training in HR related policies, practices or procedures, and you are struggling to keep up with the HR admin team. Although this position is temporary, it is likely you will need to remain in this role for at least a year.

B. Request additional HR training to bring you up to speed with the rest of the HR admin team

Last month, as a favour to a particular engineer who was experiencing personal problems, you filled out his weekly time-sheet on his behalf, saving him the effort. Now, the rest of the engineers are passing this responsibility on to you, which is not part of your job description and is interfering with your designated workload.

A. Intentionally fill out the engineer's time-sheets incorrectly, ensuring they do not ask again.

B. Offer to continue filling out the time-sheets, but only if they secretly pay you for your time.

NUMERICAL REASONING 1.

First, calculate total leads in 2003.

Note that 2003 is presented in Magenta colored bar.

Direct mail at 8.5% is 27,200.

So; 8.5100

× 𝑥𝑥 = 27,200

𝑥𝑥 = 27,2008.5

× 100 = 320,000

Then, radio advert = 20100

× 320,000 = 64,000.

Answer = A.

2.

Shop keeper discounted price = 17,940.

Let the original amount/price = x

So, discount = 8100

× 𝑥𝑥 = 𝑥𝑥 − 17,940

8𝑥𝑥100

= (𝑥𝑥 − 17,940)

8x = 100x - 1794000

1794000 = 100x – 8x = 92x

X = 179400092

= 19,500 = non discounted price.

Discount = 19500 – 17940 = 1560.

Profit at 17940 price = 19.6%.

To find the cost price, remember 𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆−𝐶𝐶𝑆𝑆𝐶𝐶𝑆𝑆

× 100.

That means original cost price =

19.6100

= 17940−𝐶𝐶𝑆𝑆𝐶𝐶𝑆𝑆

19.6cp + 100cp = 1794000

WWW.TESTSTREAMS.COM

𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 = 1794000119.6

= 15000.

If no discount was offered, price is 19500.

Recent profit would have been

This question is a mathematical problem presented in verbal form; therefore, the first step is to convert it into algebraic expressions. First, clearly define what you are asked to find: the speed at which to drive in order to cover the distance between Haifa and Eilat in the same amount of time that it took the driver in the question. Thus, this is a distance problem, and the formula that connects distance, speed and time can be applied: v = st, since the distance and the time (s and t) are given, while the speed (v) is the unknown that you have to find. The question provides the information that the distance between Haifa and Eilat is 450 km. The total amount of time needed by the driver to cover the entire distance between Haifa and Eilat can be computed as follows: The distance in the question is divided into three segments. Let us calculate how long it took the driver to cover each segment: a. A third of the distance is 150 km, because 450 · 13km is 150 km. It took the driver two hours to cover this segment, because it takes two hours to cover 150 km at a speed of 75 kph. b. A fifth of the remaining distance is 60km. This can be inferred from the fact that the remaining distance is 450 – 150 = 300 km, and 300 · 15 km is 60 km. The question gives the information that the driver covered this segment of the journey in one hour. c. The rest of the distance is 240 km, because 450 – 150 – 60 = 240. The driver covered this distance in three hours, because it takes three hours to travel 240 km at a speed of 80 kph. Thus, the journey from Haifa to Eilat took a total of 6 hours (two hours plus one hour plus three hours). It is now possible to

WWW.TESTSTREAMS.COM

compute the constant speed at which it is necessary to drive in order to cover 450 km

in 6 hours by substituting the data into the formula: t = 6, s = 450, v = st = 450 6 = 75. Thus, the speed is v = 75kph

Time taken = Distance ÷ Speed

Time taken = 10 ÷ 50 = 1/5 hour

1/5 hour = 1/5 x 60 = 12 mins

........................................................................................................

STEP 2: Find time remaining for the returned trip

Total time = 20 mins

Time for returned trip = 20 - 12 = 8 min

........................................................................................................

STEP 3: Find speed needed for the returned trip:

8 mins = 8/60 = 2/15 hour

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

Speed = 10 ÷ 2/15

Speed = 10 x 15/2

31) Which of these measures are used to analyze the central tendency of data?

A) Mean and Normal Distribution

B) Mean, Median and Mode

C) Mode, Alpha & Range

D) Standard Deviation, Range and Mean

E) Median, Range and Normal Distribution

Solution: (B)

The mean, median, mode are the three statistical measures which help us to analyze the central tendency of data. We use these measures to find the central value of the data to summarize the entire data set.

32) Five numbers are given: (5, 10, 15, 5, 15). Now, what would be the sum of deviations of individual data points from their mean?

A) 10

B) 25

C) 50

D) 0

E) None of the above

Solution: (D)

The sum of deviations of the individual will always be 0.

33) A test is administered annually. The test has a mean score of 150 and a standard deviation of 20. If Ravi’s z-score is 1.50, what was his score on the test?

A) 180

B) 130

C) 30

D) 150


Solution: (A)

X= μ+Zσ where μ is the mean, σ is the standard deviation and X is the score we’re calculating. Therefore X = 150+20*1.5 = 180

34) Which of the following measures of central tendency will always change if a single value in the data changes?

A) Mean

B) Median

C) Mode

D) All of these

Solution: (A)

The mean of the dataset would always change if we change any value of the data set. Since we are summing up all the values together to get it, every value of the data set contributes to its value. Median and mode may or may not change with altering a single value in the dataset.

35) Below, we have represented six data points on a scale where vertical lines on scale represent unit.

Which of the following line represents the mean of the given data points, where the scale is divided into same units?

A) A

B) B

C) C

D) D

Solution: (C)

It’s a little tricky to visualize this one by just looking at the data points. We can simply substitute values to understand the mean. Let A be 1, B be 2, C be 3 and so on. The data values as shown will become {1,1,1,4,5,6} which will have mean to be 18/6 = 3 i.e. C.

36) If a positively skewed distribution has a median of 50, which of the following statement is true?

A) Mean is greater than 50

B) Mean is less than 50

C) Mode is less than 50

D) Mode is greater than 50

E) Both A and C

F) Both B and D

Solution: (E)

Below are the distributions for Negatively, Positively and no skewed curves.

As we can see for a positively skewed curve, Mode<Median<Mean. So if median is 50, mean would be more than 50 and mode will be less than 50

37) Which of the following is a possible value for the median of the below distribution?

A) 32

B) 26

C) 17

D) 40

Solution: (B)

To answer this one we need to go to the basic definition of a median. Median is the value which has roughly half the values before it and half the values after. The number of values less than 25

are (36+54+69 = 159) and the number of values greater than 30 are (55+43+25+22+17= 162). So the median should lie somewhere between 25 and 30. Hence 26 is a possible value of the median.

38) Which of the following statements are true about Bessels Correction while calculating a sample standard deviation?

1. Bessels correction is always done when we perform any operation on a sample data.

2. Bessels correction is used when we are trying to estimate population standard deviation from the sample.

3. Bessels corrected standard deviation is less biased.

A) Only 2

B) Only 3

C) Both 2 and 3

D) Both 1 and 3

Solution: (C)

Contrary to the popular belief Bessel’s correction should not be always done. It’s basically done when we’re trying to estimate the population standard deviation using the sample standard deviation. The bias is definitely reduced as the standard deviation will now (after correction) be depicting the dispersion of the population more than that of the sample.

39) If the variance of a dataset is correctly computed with the formula using (n – 1) in the denominator, which of the following option is true?

A) Dataset is a sample

B) Dataset is a population

C) Dataset could be either a sample or a population

D) Dataset is from a census


Solution: (A)

If the variance has n-1 in the formula, it means that the set is a sample. We try to estimate the population variance by dividing the sum of squared difference with the mean with n-1.

When we have the actual population data we can directly divide the sum of squared differences with n instead of n-1.

40) [True or False] Standard deviation can be negative.

A) TRUE

B) FALSE

Solution: (B)

Below is the formula for standard deviation

Since the differences are squared, added and then rooted, negative standard deviations are not possible.

41) Standard deviation is robust to outliers?

A) True

B) False

Solution: (B)

If you look at the formula for standard deviation above, a very high or a very low value would increase standard deviation as it would be very different from the mean. Hence outliers will effect standard deviation.

42) For the below normal distribution, which of the following option holds true ?

σ1, σ2 and σ3 represent the standard deviations for curves 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

A) σ1> σ2> σ3

B) σ1< σ2< σ3

C) σ1= σ2= σ3

D) None

Solution: (B)

From the definition of normal distribution, we know that the area under the curve is 1 for all the 3 shapes. The curve 3 is more spread and hence more dispersed (most of values being within 40-160). Therefore it will have the highest standard deviation. Similarly, Curve 1 has a very low range and all the values are in a small range of 80-120. Hence, curve 1 has the least standard deviation.

43) What would be the critical values of Z for 98% confidence interval for a two-tailed test?

A) +/- 2.33

B) +/- 1.96

C) +/- 1.64

D) +/- 2.55

Solution: (A)

We need to look at the z table for answering this. For a 2 tailed test, and a 98% confidence interval, we should check the area before the z value as 0.99 since 1% will be on the left side of the mean and 1% on the right side. Hence we should check for the z value for area>0.99. The value will be +/- 2.33

44) [True or False] The standard normal curve is symmetric about 0 and the total area under it is 1.

A) TRUE

B) FALSE

Solution: (A)

By the definition of the normal curve, the area under it is 1 and is symmetric about zero. The mean, median and mode are all equal and 0. The area to the left of mean is equal to the area on the right of mean. Hence it is symmetric.

Context for Questions 45-47

Studies show that listening to music while studying can improve your memory. To demonstrate this, a researcher obtains a sample of 36 college students and gives them a standard memory test while they listen to some background music. Under normal circumstances (without music), the mean score obtained was 25 and standard deviation is 6. The mean score for the sample after the experiment (i.e With music) is 28.

45) What is the null hypothesis in this case?

A) Listening to music while studying will not impact memory.

B) Listening to music while studying may worsen memory.

C) Listening to music while studying may improve memory.

D) Listening to music while studying will not improve memory but can make it worse.

Solution: (D)

The null hypothesis is generally assumed statement, that there is no relationship in the measured phenomena. Here the null hypothesis would be that there is no relationship between listening to music and improvement in memory.

46) What would be the Type I error?

A) Concluding that listening to music while studying improves memory, and it’s right.

B) Concluding that listening to music while studying improves memory when it actually doesn’t.

C) Concluding that listening to music while studying does not improve memory but it does

Solution: (B)

Type 1 error means that we reject the null hypothesis when its actually true. Here the null hypothesis is that music does not improve memory. Type 1 error would be that we reject it and say that music does improve memory when it actually doesn’t.

47) After performing the Z-test, what can we conclude ____ ?

A) Listening to music does not improve memory.

B) Listening to music significantly improves memory at p

C) The information is insufficient for any conclusion.

D) None of the above

Solution: (B)

Let’s perform the Z test on the given case. We know that the null hypothesis is that listening to music does not improve memory.

Alternate hypothesis is that listening to music does improve memory.

In this case the standard error i.e.

The Z score for a sample mean of 28 from this population is

Z critical value for α = 0.05 (one tailed) would be 1.65 as seen from the z table.

Therefore since the Z value observed is greater than the Z critical value, we can reject the null hypothesis and say that listening to music does improve the memory with 95% confidence.

48) A researcher concludes from his analysis that a placebo cures AIDS. What type of error is he making?

A) Type 1 error

B) Type 2 error

C) None of these. The researcher is not making an error.

D) Cannot be determined

Solution: (D)

By definition, type 1 error is rejecting the null hypothesis when its actually true and type 2 error is accepting the null hypothesis when its actually false. In this case to define the error, we need to first define the null and alternate hypothesis.

49) What happens to the confidence interval when we introduce some outliers to the data?

A) Confidence interval is robust to outliers

B) Confidence interval will increase with the introduction of outliers.

C) Confidence interval will decrease with the introduction of outliers.

D) We cannot determine the confidence interval in this case.

Solution: (B)

We know that confidence interval depends on the standard deviation of the data. If we introduce outliers into the data, the standard deviation increases, and hence the confidence interval also increases.

Context for questions 50- 52

A medical doctor wants to reduce blood sugar level of all his patients by altering their diet. He finds that the mean sugar level of all patients is 180 with a standard deviation of 18. Nine of his patients start dieting and the mean of the sample is observed to 175. Now, he is considering to recommend all his patients to go on a diet.

Note: He calculates 99% confidence interval.

50) What is the standard error of the mean?

A) 9

B) 6

C) 7.5

D) 18

Solution: (B)

The standard error of the mean is the standard deviation by the square root of the number of values. i.e.

Standard error = = 6

51) What is the probability of getting a mean of 175 or less after all the patients start dieting?

A) 20%

B) 25%

C) 15%

D) 12%

Solution: (A)

This actually wants us to calculate the probability of population mean being 175 after the intervention. We can calculate the Z value for the given mean.

If we look at the z table, the corresponding value for z = -0.833 ~ 0.2033.

Therefore there is around 20% probability that if everyone starts dieting, the population mean would be 175.

52) Which of the following statement is correct?

A) The doctor has a valid evidence that dieting reduces blood sugar level.

B) The doctor does not have enough evidence that dieting reduces blood sugar level.

C) If the doctor makes all future patients diet in a similar way, the mean blood pressure will fall below 160.

Solution: (B)

We need to check if we have sufficient evidence to reject the null. The null hypothesis is that dieting has no effect on blood sugar. This is a two tailed test. The z critical value for a 2 tailed test would be ±2.58.

The z value as we have calculated is -0.833.

Since Z value < Z critical value, we do not have enough evidence that dieting reduces blood sugar.

Question Context 53-55

A researcher is trying to examine the effects of two different teaching methods. He divides 20 students into two groups of 10 each. For group 1, the teaching method is using fun examples. Where as for group 2 the teaching method is using software to help students learn. After a 20 minutes lecture of both groups, a test is conducted for all the students.

We want to calculate if there is a significant difference in the scores of both the groups.

It is given that:

Alpha=0.05, two tailed.

Mean test score for group 1 = 10

Mean test score for group 2 = 7

Standard error = 0.94

53) What is the value of t-statistic?

A) 3.191

B) 3.395

C) Cannot be determined.


Solution: (A)

The t statistic of the given group is nothing but the difference between the group means by the standard error. =(10-7)/0.94 = 3.191

54) Is there a significant difference in the scores of the two groups?

A) Yes

B) No

Solution: (A)

The null hypothesis in this case would be that there is no difference between the groups, while the alternate hypothesis would be that the groups are significantly different. The t critical value for a 2 tailed test at α = 0.05 is ±2.101. The t statistic obtained is 3.191. Since the t statistic is more than the critical value of t, we can reject the null hypothesis and say that the two groups are significantly different with 95% confidence.

55) What percentage of variability in scores is explained by the method of teaching?

A) 36.13

B) 45.21

C) 40.33

D) 32.97

Solution: (A)

The % variability in scores is given by the R2 value. The formula for R2 given by

R2 =

The degrees of freedom in this case would be 10+10 -2 since there are two groups with size 10 each. The degree of freedom is 18.

R2 = = 36.13

56) [True or False] F statistic cannot be negative.

A) TRUE

B) FALSE

Solution: (A)

F statistic is the value we receive when we run an ANOVA test on different groups to understand the differences between them. The F statistic is given by the ratio of between group variability to within group variability

Below is the formula for f Statistic.

Since both the numerator and denominator possess square terms, F statistic cannot be negative.

A strong positive correlation would occur when the following condition is met. If x increases, y should also increase, if x decreases, y should also decrease. The slope of the line would be positive in this case and the data points will show a clear linear relationship. Option B shows a strong positive relationship.

58) Correlation between two variables (Var1 and Var2) is 0.65. Now, after adding numeric 2 to all the values of Var1, the correlation co-efficient will_______ ?

A) Increase

B) Decrease

C) None of the above

Solution: (C)

If a constant value is added or subtracted to either variable, the correlation coefficient would be unchanged. It is easy to understand if we look at the formula for calculating the correlation.

If we add a constant value to all the values of x, the xi and will change by the same number, and the differences will remain the same. Hence, there is no change in the correlation coefficient.

59) It is observed that there is a very high correlation between math test scores and amount of physical exercise done by a student on the test day. What can you infer from this?

High correlation implies that after exercise the test scores are high.

Correlation does not imply causation.

Correlation measures the strength of linear relationship between amount of exercise and test scores.

A) Only 1

B) 1 and 3

C) 2 and 3

D) All the statements are true

Solution: (C)

Though sometimes causation might be intuitive from a high correlation but actually correlation does not imply any causal inference. It just tells us the strength of the relationship between the two variables. If both the variables move together, there is a high correlation among them.

60) If the correlation coefficient (r) between scores in a math test and amount of physical exercise by a student is 0.86, what percentage of variability in math test is explained by the amount of exercise?

A) 86%

B) 74%

C) 14%

D) 26%

Solution: (B)

The % variability is given by r2, the square of the correlation coefficient. This value represents the fraction of the variation in one variable that may be explained by the other variable. Therefore % variability explained would be 0.862.

61) Which of the following is true about below given histogram?

A) Above histogram is unimodal

B) Above histogram is bimodal

C) Given above is not a histogram


Solution: (B)

The above histogram is bimodal. As we can see there are two values for which we can see peaks in the histograms indicating high frequencies for those values. Therefore the histogram is bimodal.

62) Consider a regression line y=ax+b, where a is the slope and b is the intercept. If we know the value of the slope then by using which option can we always find the value of the intercept?

A) Put the value (0,0) in the regression line True

B) Put any value from the points used to fit the regression line and compute the value of b False

C) Put the mean values of x & y in the equation along with the value a to get b False

D) None of the above can be used False

Solution: (C)

In case of ordinary least squares regression, the line would always pass through the mean values of x and y. If we know one point on the line and the value of slope, we can easily find the intercept.

63) What happens when we introduce more variables to a linear regression model?

A) The r squared value may increase or remain constant, the adjusted r squared may increase or decrease.

B) The r squared may increase or decrease while the adjusted r squared always increases.

C) Both r square and adjusted r square always increase on the introduction of new variables in the model.

D) Both might increase or decrease depending on the variables introduced.

Solution: (A)

The R square always increases or at least remains constant because in case of ordinary least squares the sum of square error never increases by adding more variables to the model. Hence the R squared does not decrease. The adjusted R-squared is a modified version of R-squared that has been adjusted for the number of predictors in the model. The adjusted R-squared increases only if the new term improves the model more than would be expected by chance. It decreases when a predictor improves the model by less than expected by chance.

64) In a scatter diagram, the vertical distance of a point above or below regression line is known as ____?

A) Residual

B) Prediction Error

C) Prediction

D) Both A and B


Solution: (D)

The lines as we see in the above plot are the vertical distance of points from the regression line. These are known as the residuals or the prediction error.

65) In univariate linear least squares regression, relationship between correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination is ______ ?

A) Both are unrelated False

B) The coefficient of determination is the coefficient of correlation squared True

C) The coefficient of determination is the square root of the coefficient of correlation False

D) Both are same F

Solution: (B)

The coefficient of determination is the R squared value and it tells us the amount of variability of the dependent variable explained by the independent variable. This is nothing but correlation coefficient squared. In case of multivariate regression the r squared value represents the ratio of the sum of explained variance to the sum of total variance.

66) What is the relationship between significance level and confidence level?

A) Significance level = Confidence level

B) Significance level = 1- Confidence level

C) Significance level = 1/Confidence level

D) Significance level = sqrt (1 – Confidence level)

Solution: (B)

Significance level is 1-confidence interval. If the significance level is 0.05, the corresponding confidence interval is 95% or 0.95. The significance level is the probability of obtaining a result as extreme as, or more extreme than, the result actually obtained when the null hypothesis is true. The confidence interval is the range of likely values for a population parameter, such as the population mean. For example, if you compute a 95% confidence interval for the average price of

an ice cream, then you can be 95% confident that the interval contains the true average cost of all ice creams.

The significance level and confidence level are the complementary portions in the normal distribution.

67) [True or False] Suppose you have been given a variable V, along with its mean and median. Based on these values, you can find whether the variable “V” is left skewed or right skewed for the condition mean(V) > median(V)

A) True

B) False

Solution: (B)

Since, its no where mentioned about the type distribution of the variable V, we cannot say whether it is left skewed or right skewed for sure.

68) The line described by the linear regression equation (OLS) attempts to ____ ?

A) Pass through as many points as possible.

B) Pass through as few points as possible

C) Minimize the number of points it touches

D) Minimize the squared distance from the points

Solution: (D)

The regression line attempts to minimize the squared distance between the points and the regression line. By definition the ordinary least squares regression tries to have the minimum sum of squared errors. This means that the sum of squared residuals should be minimized. This may or may not be achieved by passing through the maximum points in the data. The most common case of not passing through all points and reducing the error is when the data has a lot of outliers or is not very strongly linear.

69) We have a linear regression equation ( Y = 5X +40) for the below table.

X Y

5 45

6 76

7 78

8 87

9 79

Which of the following is a MAE (Mean Absolute Error) for this linear model?

A) 8.4

B) 10.29

C) 42.5


Solution: (A)

To calculate the mean absolute error for this case, we should first calculate the values of y with the given equation and then calculate the absolute error with respect to the actual values of y. Then the average value of this absolute error would be the mean absolute error. The below table summarises these values.

70) A regression analysis between weight (y) and height (x) resulted in the following least squares line: y = 120 + 5x. This implies that if the height is increased by 1 inch, the weight is expected to

A) increase by 1 pound

B) increase by 5 pound

C) increase by 125 pound


Solution: (B)

Looking at the equation given y=120+5x. If the height is increased by 1 unit, the weight will increase by 5 pounds. Since 120 will be the same in both cases and will go off in the difference.

Daily Average Number of Swimmers - Aldeburgh Beach (High Season)

1. In which year was the average number of daily swimmers the highest?

A. 2003B. 2004C. 2005D. 2006E. Cannot say

Answer

In this question one should make an estimation by looking at the numbers (there is no need

to calculate) and see that 2004 appears to be the largest.

Here is the long calculation for the number of swimmers each year:

2003: 30 + 20 + 80 = 130

2004: 40 + 80 + 60 = 180

2005: 70 + 50 + 40 = 160

2006: 30 + 60 + 30 = 120

The answer is B- 2004.


Daily Average Number of Swimmers - Aldeburgh Beach (High Season)

2. Assuming the children group is 50% boys and 50% girls, how many more males

swam at Aldeburgh beach in 2006 than in 2005?

A. 35B. 45C. 10D. 5E. Cannot say

Answer

If the children group is equally distributed between boys and girls, then we can simply divide the amount of children by two, and add it to the amount of male swimmers in each year:

2006 Men:60 Boys: 30/2=15 Total male swimmers: 75

2005 Men:50 Boys: 40/2=20 Total male swimmers: 70

(75-70)=5 more male swimmers in 2006.

The answer is D- 5.


Nutritional Values, Product X

*% Daily values are based on a 2000 calorie diet

3. How many calories originated in fat will be consumed when eating 1.5 cups of

product X?


Answer

The table indicates nutritional values per one serving size of product X, which is equivalent to

half a cup.

Each cup of Product X contains 30 calories from fat.

Eating 3 cups of Product X will result in the consumption of (30*3)=90 calories.

The answer is D- 90.


Nutritional Values, Product X

*% Daily values are based on a 2000 calorie diet

4. How many grams of dietary fibre should a person who follows a 2000 calorie-

diet consume if he already ate an entire container of product x today?


Answer

The table indicates nutritional values per one serving size of product X and not per the whole container. The whole container has four servings, and thus one serving equals one quarter.

One serving contains 3 grams which constitute 12% of the daily recommended amount.

A person who eats a whole container of product X consumes (3*4)=12 grams.

Tip: Dividing a certain partial amount by its relative size will always give the total amount!

Since 3 grams represent 12%, or 0.12 of the total amount, we can divide 3 by 0.12 to get the full amount required: 3/0.12=25.

Since he ate 12 grams, he still needs to eat (25-12)=13 grams of dietary fibre.

To get a full review of percentages practice with our numerical reasoning packs!

The answer is B- 13 grams.


Introduction to Economics Exam Statistics (% of students who passed)

5. In which of the following years did over 2/3 of the students who took the exam

not pass it?

A. 2005B. 2006C. 2008D. 2009E. Cannot say

Answer

We're looking for a year in which over 2/3 of the students failed. In fact we're looking for a year in which less than a third of the students passed.

There are two years that match the criteria: 2008 and 2010, but only 2008 appear as an optional answer.

The answer is C- 2008.


Introduction to Economics Exam Statistics (% of students who passed)

6. It is known that a quarter of the students who passed the exam in 2007, passed

it at the first trial. Assuming each exam has two trials, what percentage of all the

students who took the exam that year passed it in the second trial?



Answer

This question looks for a percentage rather than an absolute number. Therefore, the number we choose for carrying the calculation is arbitrary! We could also just use x or any other number. For example:

Call the number of students who took the test X. The chart indicates that 40% of X passed the test, which is 0.4*X. If a quarter of 0.4*X passed it in the first trial, then three quarters passed it in the second trial:

0.75*0.4*X=0.3*X. 0.3 is equal to 30%

The answer is C- 30.

Tip: Use the number 100! According to the chart, out of the 100 students, 40% passed it in

one of the trials, which is equal to 40 students.

Out of the 40 students who passed the exam, a quarter (25%), passed it on the first trial.

That is: 40*0.25=10

Therefore, 30 students (40-10) passed the second trial. These 30 make 30% of the 100

who took the exam.


European Large Family Car Sales (Delivered by Sea Vessels)

7. Sea delivery per car (either SUV or minivan) costs $25. What were the sea

delivery costs for large family cars in 2008?

A. 19 millionB. 42.5 millionC. 45.5 millionD. 47.5 millionE. Cannot say

Answer

In 2008, there were 20 × 100 = 2000 vessels of minivans × 500 minivans in each vessel = 1,000,000 minivans.

There were also 15 × 100 =1500 vessels of SUVs × 600 SUVs in each vessel = 900,000 SUVs

1,000,000 + 900,000 = 1,900,000 cars sold in total × $25 per car delivery = $47,500,000 total delivery costs in 2008.

The answer is D- 47.5 million.


The Smiths are investigating irregularities in their household bills:

8. How many bi-monthly electricity bills of Smith household are higher than the

national average?

A. 0B. 1C. 2D. 3E. 4


Answer

The correct answer is C: 2 bi-monthly electricity bills, those of May+Jun and Jul+Aug.

The national average of a bi-monthly electricity bill is £500 (green column).

The Smiths' bi-monthly electricity bill of Jan+Feb was £450 (blue column).

The chart on the right informs us about changes of the bi-monthly electricity bill relative to the Smiths' Jan+Feb bill. Therefore, not every increase necessarily represents a higher payment than the national average.

Note that the bills of Sep+Oct and Nov+Dec were lower than that of Jan+Feb, and thus cannot be higher than the national average, given that Jan+Feb's were already lower than the national average. Therefore, they can be eliminated from the start.

The electricity bill of Mar+Apr was 10% higher than that of Jan+Feb:

110% of £450 = 1.1 x 450 = £495 < 500%. This is not higher than the national average.

The electricity bill of May+Jun was 20% higher than that of Jan+Feb:

120% of £450 = 1.2 x 450 = £540 > 500%. This is higher than the national average.

The electricity bill of Jul+Aug was 25% higher than that of Jan+Feb. It is a higher figure than the previous bi-monthly bill, thus we already know it is higher than the national average and we don't need to calculate the actual sum.

The answer is C- 2.

9. On average, how much market value in Asia would a Uranium employee create

per week (52 weeks a year)?

A. $5.3B. $5.5C. $5.7D. $5.9E. Cannot

Answer

The market value of Uranium in Asia is $427,000,000.

This sum is divided by the number of Uranium employees (1,542,000) = 427,000,000/1,542,000 = $276.91

$276.91 is the market value in Asia for extracted Uranium per employee per annum. The question refers to a week therefore we divide the calculated sum (representing a year) by 52 = 276.91 / 52 = $5.3

The answer is A- $5.3


Unemployment Rate in European Countries (%)

10. In 2009, there were 667,284 unemployed in Netherlands, whose population

was 27.53% of the UK for that year. With a fixed annual population increase of

0.639%, approximately how many unemployed are in the UK in 2011?

A. 6,987,322B. 4,801,138C. 8,511,287D. 6,895,245E. 4,296,108

Answer

While unemployment rates are measured in proportion to the labour force and not the entire population, you must answer according to the data you are given. That is why the "Cannot say" option does not appear..

Netherlands population 2009: 667,284/0.04 = 16,682,100. UK population 2009: 16,682,100/0.2753=60,596,077

UK population 2011: 60,596,077*1.006392=61,372,968 UK unemployed 2011: 61,372,968*0.07=4296108

The answer is E- 4,296,108.


T.M. Funds - 2011

Distribution of Securities (000s) Origin of Insurance Securities

11. If the number of Chinese Insurance stocks represented 3.5% of all Insurance

securities, approximately how many Insurance bonds were Chinese?

A. 9,200,000B. 9,500,000C. 10,800,000D. 910,000E. 1,080,000

Answer

Chinese Insurance Stocks comprise 3.5% of all Insurance securities, which leaves 26.5% of Chinese bonds.

The total number of Insurance securities is: 33,000,000+3,000,000= 36,000,000.

Now we only need to calculate 26.5% of 36,000,000: (36,000,000 *0.265)= 9,540,000, which is approximately 9,500,000

The answer is B- 9,500,000.

Answer

500 Japanese Yen before the reduction were worth = 500 x 0.007 = 3.5 Euro (the 0.007 figure is taken from the data). After a reduction of 7%, they are now worth 3.5 x 0.93 = 3.26 Euro.

The answer is B- 3.26


*Cash Flow from investments = Proceeds from sales + Dividends earned.

13. If the value of the company’s cash flow from operations decreased by 2.7% in2012, and 63% of their total cash flow was from operations, what would be the

total balance of the company, in millions?

A. 30.89B. 41.37C. 45.2D. 47E. 46.33

Answer

In order to solve this question we must first find the value of cash flow from operations in 2011, where it was 30 million. We then calculate a 2.7% decrease: 30*0.973 = 29.19

We can now find the total balance using the percentage given in the second part of the question: 29.19/0.63 = 46.33

The answer is E- 46.33.


14. When the sale prices of Calir's product line were decreased by 25%, £65,277

in revenues were generated in less than 2 weeks. If the sales ratio of XC to XR

units was 3:4 respectively, what is the difference in the number of units sold

between the two product types?


Answer

Remember that ratios do not represent real numbers. We need to find the multiplication factor which connects us to the real numbers.

Let's look at the entire mathematical expression that represents the data and the solution:

0.75*( 1734*3X + 2326*4X)= £65,277

0.75 is the 25% price reduction that applies on both products. 1734 and 2326 are the prices of XC and XR units, respectively. X is the multiplication factor that tells us the real numbers of units sold, instead of just the ratio. In fact, it is also the difference we're looking for.

Solving this gives us x=6. When applying the multiplication factor to the basic ratio we get: 3*6= 18 units of XC, 4*6=24 units of XR

The answer is C- 6.


*Figures taken from the UK national archives.

15. Approximately, what is the percentage growth in final energy consumption for

the domestic sector in million tonnes of oil equivalent?

A. 2B. 2.08C. 20.88D. 23.81E. 18.96

Answer

To answer this question we must first find the amount of oil equivalent used by the domestic sector in each year.

In 2001: 213.6*0.29 = 61.94 million tons. In 2011: 237.7*0.31 = 73.69 million tons.

The percentage growth rate would be: (73.69/61.94)-1 = 0.18957. Multiply by 100 to get 18.96%.

In short: [(237.7*0.31)/(213.6*0.29)-1]*100=18.96

The answer is E- 18.96

Verbal Critical Reasoning Questions

This subtest consists of 3 passages. Each text is followed by 4 statements.

• Read the passage and determine the correct answer:

o Choose True if the statement has to be true according to the passage.

o Choose False if statement has to be false according to the passage.

o Choose Cannot say if you cannot determine whether the statement is true or false without further

information.

• REMEMBER: you have to base your answers only on the information given in the text

http://www.jobtestprep.co.uk/

Passage 1:

Companies wishing to increase their growing pace occasionally use the method of franchising which

provides a new owner with the permit to use their business identity and in return to purchase products

exclusively from the company. However most companies will aim to minimise the use of this method

and often prefer the expansion of the companies' own branches. Companies who have previously

used franchising learnt the essential need to monitor the business operation of the franchised branch.

Difficulties arise from franchisees and companies disagreeing on business policies such as customer

care, service delivery efficiency and quality of human interaction. Inadequate attention to the

monitoring of franchisees on the part of the companies is typically the cause of subsequent problems.

1. Service delivery efficiency has reduced companies' will to franchise.

True

False

Cannot say

Explanation

The text explains that service delivery efficiency is a cause for disagreement between

franchisees and companies, but it doesn’t mention whether this is why companies are

reluctant to franchise.

The answer is Cannot Say.


Passage 2: Employees working within organisations have a legislative obligation to monitor the content of e-mails sent to external bodies and to eliminate potentially sensitive internal information regardless of the perceived importance of that information. To guarantee that employees fulfil their legislative obligation and to prevent the possible leak of exclusive information, employers have prepared mandatory contracts stipulating this responsibility to be signed by all employees and additionally, inserted a copyright section to every external e-mail that emphasises the confidentiality of the information provided. Employee's carelessness in handling information circulated via email may result in serious punitive actions.

2. Supervisors should monitor employees' e-mail accounts to minimise the leak ofexclusive information.

True

False

Cannot say

3. If salary cuts and permanent dismissals are possible punitive actionsemployers can take, then they may be used to punish employee inattention to thee-mail content regulation.

True

False

Explanation

According to the text, "employees ... have (an) … obligation to monitor the content of e-mails…". The text never says that this is part of the employers' role.

The answer is Cannot Say.

Explanation

According to the text, "If employees are careless in handling information circulated via

e-mail, they may risk serious punitive measures".

The answer is True.


Word Relationships Questions

For each question, you must identify the relationship that exists between each pair of words and determine which of the additional four word pairs maintains the same logical relationship.

Always pay attention to the order of the words in each pair. If more than one pair seems to apply, they may be in a different order than the original pair of words.

The subtest consists of 4 questions.

1. decrease : increase

stretch : enlarge beauty : ugliness sitting: walking square: triangle

Explanation

'Decrease' and 'increase' are verbs that are opposites. 'Beauty' and 'ugliness'

are nouns that are opposite. However, these are the only pairs of opposites

because sitting is not the opposite of walking.

The answer is 'beauty' : 'ugliness'


2. team : coach

car : mechanic cooking : chef musicians : conductor fruit : grocer

3. flower : bouquet

soldier : company bread : cookies magazine : cover tap : water

4. sand : glass

cotton : wool tree : paper seed : flower stove : oven

Explanation

A 'team' is managed / trained by a 'coach' and an 'orchestra' is managed /

trained by a 'conductor'. None of the other word pairs have a similar relationship.

The answer is 'musicians' : 'conductor'

Explanation

A bunch of 'flowers' make up a 'bouquet'. The only pair of words that have a

similar relationship are 'soldier' and 'company'. A group of 'soldiers' make up a

'company'.

The answer is 'soldiers' : 'company'

Explanation

'Sand' is processed and turned into 'glass' just as 'trees' are processed to make

'paper'. A 'flower' grows from a 'seed' but there is no artificial processing

involved.

The answer is 'tree' : 'paper'

daughter. Which of the statements below is true?

Judy is Dan's mother-in-law. Margaret is Dan's mother. Judy is Joshua's grandmother. None of the above

6. All Germans speak Italian. All Italian speakers ride bicycles. Which of the followingstatements must be true?

All Italians speak German. All bicycle riders are German. All Germans ride bicycles. Some of the Italians riding bicycles are Germans.

Explanation

Dan and Guy are siblings, (not half brothers or step-brothers) and therefore

Margaret, who is Guy's mother, is also Dan's mother.

The answer is 'Margaret is Dan's mother'.

Explanation

Based on the illustration, it’s clear that all Germans are Italian speakers and that all Italian

speakers are bicycle riders. Therefore, all Germans are bicycle riders.

The answer is 'All Germans ride bicycles'.
