We have prepared this study packet to help you prepare for the Quantitative Reasoning (QR) Assessment that you will take soon after arriving on campus.  \nWhat is the QR Assessment for?  \nThe QR Assessment tests your quantitative skills, including your ability to read and understand information presented in formulas, tables, and graphs; to interpret information and draw appropriate inferences; and to solve real world problems that deal with numbers or data. The mathematical skills you will apply on this test span arithmetic, algebra, graph reading, geometry, and linear and exponential modeling. Logical and statistical skills are core “QR skills.” You need to demonstrate adequate basic QR skills before enrolling in a wide array of first-year courses at the College. Additionally, strong QR skills are needed to ensure that you can explore any academic major, pursue any career, and address the wide array of quantitative problems that arise in everyday life.  \nWhat happens if I do not do well on the QR Assessment?  \nIf you do not pass the QR Assessment, you will need to enroll in “Introduction to Quantitative Reasoning” in your first year at the College. After successfully completing this course, you should have the quantitative skills that are a prerequisite for any  \nintroductory level course that emphasizes quantitative analyses – from science courses to economic courses.  \nWhat is included in this study packet?  \nThis study packet includes a set of 24 review problems (starting on page 3) and two QR Assessments actually given to students in past years (starting on page 27) . Short answers are provided for each problem. In addition, complete, worked-out solutions are provided for all but the last actual assessment. We suggest you work through these problems without using a calculator, as calculators are NOT allowed when taking the 90-minute QR Assessment. If there are particular types of problems that you find challenging, we recommend reviewing notes or books on these topics.  \nIf I have questions, where should I turn?  \nFor more information about Wellesley’s two-part QR requirement or about the QR Assessment itself, visit [the QR Web site at www.Wellesley.edu/QR/. The Web site](the QR Web site at www.Wellesley.edu/QR/. The Web site) lists recommended readings, etc. You may also contact Corri Taylor, Director of the QR Program, by e-mail [at](at ctaylor1@wellesley.edu)[ ctaylor1@wellesley.edu](at ctaylor1@wellesley.edu) or by phone at 781.283.2152.  \nReview Problems  \n1. Officials estimate that 320,000 Boston-area partygoers attended last year’s Independence Day celebration on the banks of the Charles River. They also estimate that the partygoers left behind 40 tons of garbage. Given that aton equals 2,000 pounds, how many pounds of garbage did the average partygoer leave behind?  \n2. Subway tokens cost 85 cents. How many can you buy with $20?  \n3. A student’s grade depends on her score on four equally-weighted exams. Her average on the first three exams is 92. What must she score on the fourth exam in order to guarantee a final average of at least 90?  \n4. In 2000, a person places $1,000 in an investment that earned 10% annual interest, compounded annually. Calculate the value of the investment for the years 2001, 2002, and 2003.  \n5. According to The New York Times, scientists studying the atmosphere have recently detected a decrease in the level of methyl chloroform, a man-made industrial solvent that is harmful to the ozone layer. In 1990, the level of methyl chloroform was 150 parts per trillion (150 ppt), but by 1994 the level had fallen to 120 ppt. By what percentage did the level of methyl chloroform decrease between 1990 and 1994?  \n6. In 1990, according to Census data, one in four Americans over 18 years of age had never married, as compared to one in six in 1970.
