What is 7 + 5?
13
10
14
12
7 + 5 equals 12 because you combine seven units and five units to get twelve. This illustrates simple addition.
Which of the following numbers is prime?
15
17
18
20
A prime number has exactly two divisors: 1 and itself. 17 meets this criterion because it is divisible only by 1 and 17.
What is the next number in the sequence: 2, 4, 6, 8, __?
11
10
12
14
This sequence increases by 2 each time, so the next term after 8 is 10. It illustrates a simple arithmetic progression.
What is the value of 9 × 8?
72
80
88
64
Multiplying 9 by 8 gives 72 because 9 groups of 8 sum to 72. This demonstrates basic multiplication.
If you roll a standard six-sided die, what is the probability of rolling a 4?
1/2
1/4
1/6
1/3
A standard die has six faces numbered 1 through 6. The chance of any specific face, like 4, is 1 out of 6, or 1/6.
What is the sum of the interior angles of a triangle?
90°
270°
180°
360°
The interior angles of any triangle sum to 180 degrees by Euclidean geometry. This fundamental property holds for all triangles on a flat plane.
What is the least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6?
12
24
10
8
The least common multiple of 4 and 6 is the smallest positive integer divisible by both. That number is 12 since 12 ÷ 4 = 3 and 12 ÷ 6 = 2.
Solve for x: 2x + 3 = 11.
4
5
3
6
Subtract 3 from both sides to get 2x = 8, then divide by 2 to find x = 4. This is a basic linear equation solution.
In probability, what is the probability of drawing an ace from a standard 52-card deck?
1/13
1/52
4/52
4/13
A standard deck has 52 cards and 4 aces. The probability of drawing an ace at random is 4 out of 52, which simplifies to 1/13.
Which Fibonacci number is the 7th term, starting with 1, 1, ...?
13
8
34
21
The Fibonacci sequence starts 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, so the 7th term is 13. Each term is the sum of the two preceding terms.
How many permutations are there of the letters in the word "MATH"?
24
12
16
6
The word 'MATH' has 4 distinct letters, so there are 4! = 24 ways to arrange them. Factorial counts permutations of distinct items.
Which mathematician is credited with introducing the notation for the mathematical constant e (approximately 2.71828)?
Leonhard Euler
Carl Friedrich Gauss
John Napier
Jacob Bernoulli
Leonhard Euler popularized the notation 'e' for the base of natural logarithms. His work in the 18th century established e ≈ 2.71828 as a fundamental constant.
What is the median of the data set {3, 7, 2, 9, 4}?
7
4
5
3
Ordering the data gives {2, 3, 4, 7, 9}, so the middle value is 4. The median represents the central value of a dataset.
If event A has probability 0.3 and event B has probability 0.4, and A and B are independent, what is P(A ∩ B)?
0.30
0.70
0.10
0.12
For independent events, the probability of both occurring is the product of their probabilities. Thus, 0.3 × 0.4 = 0.12.
Evaluate the expression: 5² − 3².
34
8
7
16
Calculate 5² = 25 and 3² = 9, then subtract: 25 − 9 = 16. This applies the difference of squares.
A fair coin is flipped 4 times. What is the probability of getting exactly two heads?
1/2
5/8
1/4
3/8
There are C(4,2) = 6 favorable sequences out of 16 total, so the probability is 6/16 = 3/8. This illustrates the binomial distribution for independent trials.
What is the next number in the pattern: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, __?
30
36
49
27
The sequence lists perfect squares: 1²=1, 2²=4, 3²=9, 4²=16, 5²=25, so the next term is 6²=36. This demonstrates a quadratic pattern.
Solve for x: log₂(x) = 5.
32
64
8
16
By definition of logarithms, if log base 2 of x is 5, then x = 2❵ = 32. This applies the inverse of the logarithm function.
What is the 10th term of the arithmetic sequence where a₝ = 3 and the common difference d = 5?
48
53
50
45
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is a₝ + (n−1)d. Plugging in gives 3 + (10−1)×5 = 48.
A bag contains 3 red, 4 blue, and 5 green marbles. If two marbles are drawn without replacement, what is the probability both are green?
5/33
1/3
5/22
10/33
The probability of drawing a green marble first is 5/12, then 4/11 for the second without replacement. Multiplying yields 20/132 which simplifies to 5/33.
