Practice 140 Data analysis (tables, graphs, trends) questions in the app

What this topic is

Data analysis (tables, graphs, trends) on the SSAT Upper Quantitative (Math) section asks students to read tables and charts, work with means and medians, and revise survey counts after a change of category.

A student must find a missing list value from a stated mean, then identify the median; update notebook and binder tallies and report a fraction; and turn a pie-chart sector of one fifth of the data into a central angle.

Questions are short multiple-choice items whose wrong choices often swap mean with median, skip the new total after students switch, or treat a sector fraction as an angle instead of scaling it around the circle.

Sample questions

Pick an answer to see whether it is right — nothing is saved, and nothing needs an account.

Question 1Mid

The numbers 8, 11, 14, 17, and $x$ have a mean of 14. What is the median of the five numbers?

Show answer

Answer: B — 14

The total of the five numbers is $5\times14=70$ . The known numbers add to 50, so $x=20$ . In order, the numbers are 8,11,14,17,20, and the median is 14.

Question 2Easier

A class survey showed 18 students chose spiral notebooks, 12 chose composition notebooks, and 10 chose binders. Then 5 students who chose composition notebooks changed their choice to binders. After the change, what fraction of the students chose binders?

\dfrac{1}{4}

✗ Not this one

\dfrac{1}{3}

✗ Not this one

\dfrac{3}{8}

✓ Correct

\dfrac{1}{2}

✗ Not this one

\dfrac{5}{8}

✗ Not this one

Show answer

Answer: C — $\dfrac{3}{8}$

There are $18+12+10=40$ students in all. After 5 students switch to binders, 15 students choose binders. The fraction is $\dfrac{15}{40}=\dfrac{3}{8}$ .

Question 3Easier

In a pie chart, a sector represents $\dfrac{1}{5}$ of the data. What is the measure of the central angle of the sector?

36^\circ

✗ Not this one

60^\circ

✗ Not this one

72^\circ

✓ Correct

90^\circ

✗ Not this one

120^\circ

✗ Not this one

Show answer

Answer: C — $72^\circ$

A full circle is 360 degrees, so one fifth is $360\div5=72$ degrees.
