  1. A scatter graph plots law school GPA against BCAT score. A student scores 78 on the BCAT. Based on a trend line showing score = 0.5 × BCAT + 30, what GPA does the trend line predict?

    Answer: 69

    GPA = 0.5 × 78 + 30 = 39 + 30 = 69.

  2. A frequency table shows BCAT scores: 50-59 (8 students), 60-69 (15 students), 70-79 (22 students), 80-89 (10 students). What proportion of students scored 70 or above?

    Answer: 58.2%

    Total students = 55; students scoring 70+ = 22+10 = 32; proportion = 32/55 × 100 ≈ 58.2%.

  3. A stacked bar shows court outcomes: Guilty 60%, Not Guilty 25%, Dismissed 15%. If the Not Guilty verdicts increased by 40% next year while total cases stayed at 400, how many Not Guilty verdicts would there be?

    Answer: 140

    Current Not Guilty = 25% of 400 = 100; 40% increase = 100 × 1.4 = 140.

  4. A table compares two law schools' admission rates over 3 years. School A: 22%, 18%, 25%. School B: 30%, 28%, 26%. What is School A's average admission rate?

    Answer: 21.7%

    School A average = (22+18+25)/3 = 65/3 ≈ 21.7%.

  5. A line graph shows a firm's monthly costs: Month 1=$8,000, Month 2=$9,500, Month 3=$7,200, Month 4=$10,800. Which month had the highest cost relative to the preceding month's cost?

    Answer: Month 4

    Month 4 increase = (10,800−7,200)/7,200 ≈ 50%, which exceeds Month 2's increase of ~18.75%.

  6. A histogram shows the number of appeals filed per year over 6 years: 45, 60, 55, 70, 65, 80. What is the median number of appeals?

    Answer: 62.5

    Arranged in order: 45,55,60,65,70,80; median = (60+65)/2 = 62.5.

  7. A table shows billable hours per lawyer: Lawyer 1=180h, Lawyer 2=210h, Lawyer 3=150h, Lawyer 4=240h, Lawyer 5=220h. What is the range of billable hours?

    Answer: 90h

    Range = maximum − minimum = 240 − 150 = 90 hours.
