Data Insights: Integrated Reasoning Mixed Practice Flashcards

In Table Analysis, you must verify: 'At least one firm has both revenue above $1M and fewer than 50 employees.' This is true if:

Answer: One or more firms meet both conditions together

'At least one' with 'both' requires a single firm satisfying the two conditions simultaneously.

A Two-Part Analysis gives the relation P = 2Q. You select Q = 7; the corresponding P value is:

Answer: 14

P = 2 × 7 = 14.

A Graphics Interpretation scatterplot shows points clustered tightly along an upward line. This indicates a correlation that is:

Answer: Strong and positive

Tightly clustered points along an upward line indicate a strong positive correlation.

Multi-Source Reasoning: a budget tab allocates $10,000 total and a spending tab lists expenses of $4,000, $3,000, and $2,000. The remaining budget is:

Answer: $1,000

Total spending is $9,000, leaving $10,000 − $9,000 = $1,000.

A Two-Part Analysis asks for the option that 'strengthens' an argument and the one that 'weakens' it. A statement that introduces supporting evidence belongs in the:

Answer: Strengthens column

Supporting evidence reinforces the argument, so it belongs in the strengthens column.

A Graphics Interpretation bar chart shows expenses of $120, $80, and $100 across three departments. The total expenses equal:

Answer: $300

$120 + $80 + $100 = $300.

In Table Analysis, a statement claims a trend is 'monotonically increasing.' The data must show values that:

Answer: Never decrease as you move forward

Monotonically increasing means each successive value is greater than or equal to the prior one, never decreasing.
