Figure 1 shows the average height of males and females from birth to 20 years of age.  \nIn this unit 'average' refers to 'mean'.  \n1 Figure 1 indicates that the main reason that 20-year-old men are (on average) 15 cm taller than 20-year-old women is that  \nA female babies are that much shorter than male babies at birth.  \nB females grow at a slower rate than males for the first two years.  \nC males grow at a faster rate than females from age two to age seven.  \nD males grow for a longer period of time than females.  \n2 According to Figure 1, which one of the following is the best estimate of the average increase in height of boys between their first birthday and their fifth birthday?  \nA 35 cm  \nB 55 cm  \nC 75 cm  \nD 110 cm  \nQuestions 3 and 4 relate to the following information:  \nFigure 2 (below) shows the results of a study carried out in the USA. Approximately 250 000 men were followed over 12 years, and for those who died, the cause of death was established. The graph shows the variation with average alcohol intake of the mortality rate for three such causes, together with the variation in mortality rate from all causes. Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is a particular and common cardiovascular disease. Mortality rates are shown as a proportion of the deaths that occur with zero alcohol intake. Also shown are the average alcohol intakes for USA and France.  \n3 According to the figure, compared with men who consume little or no alcohol, men who regularly consume 18 g of alcohol (about one standard drink) per day are most likely to show mortality rates that are:  \nA decreased for CHD and accidents, and increased for cancer.  \nB decreased for CHD and cancer and increased for accidents.  \nC decreased for CHD and unchanged for accidents and cancer.  \nD increased for CHD and accidents, and increased for cancer.  \nE increased for CHD and unchanged for accidents and cancer.  \n4 Suppose that all relevant factors in a French population of males are similar to those for the men in this USA study, except for levels of daily alcohol consumption.  \nWhich one of the following is the best estimate of the difference in expected mortality from CHD for French men compared with that for USA men?  \nA about 10% less.  \nB about 30% less.  \nC about the same.  \nD about 10% more.  \nE about 30% more.  \nAcknowledgements  \nQuestions 3-4: Renaud, S for the extract from .The French Paradox. , Proceedings from the Wolf Blass Foundation International Wine and Health Conference, Ed. C S Stockley, The Wolf Blass Foundation Inc, 1996.  \nQuestions 5, 6 and 7 relate to the following information:  \nDale, a plumber, charges for work done in people's homes as follows: $60.00 to go to the home, which includes a maximum of 15 minutes work; plus $15.00 for any part of each 15 minutes' work after the first 15 minutes.  \n5 Dale calls at Mrs Acorn's home and does an hour and twenty minutes' work. His charge will be:  \nA $75.00  \nB $90.00  \nC $120.00  \nD $135.00  \nE $150.00  \nDale wants to set up a computer program to automate his billing of customers. The illustration below (Figure 1) shows the stage he has reached in his planning of the flow chart for the program. There is nothing in the circle marked with an X at this stage.  \nFigure 1  \n6 Without an instruction at X, a problem with this program is that it will:  \nA always charge customers too little.  \nB always charge customers too little, except for periods of 15 minutes or less.  \nC always charge customers too much, except for periods of 15 minutes or less.  \nD only charge customers correctly for periods of time that are exact multiples of 15 minutes.  \nE only charge customers correctly for periods of time that are not exact multiples of 15 minutes.  \n7 Which one of the following instructions at position X would correct","cbCaiecU3c6Y7N6B","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiecU3c6Y7N6B","pdf",163840,"English","# Quantitative Reasoning\n## Questions 1-2: Height and growth rates\n## Questions 3-4: Alcohol intake and mortality\n## Questions 5-7: Plumbing billing flowchart correction\n## Question 8: Photocopier enlarge/reduce area scaling\n# Critical Reasoning\n## Question 9: Car-insurance refusal criteria\n## Question 10: Alcohol and risk statement","[{\"question\":\"How is the average increase in boys’ height from age 1 to age 5 estimated in Question 2?\",\"answer\":\"Using Figure 1, the best estimate comes from comparing the heights at the first birthday and the fifth birthday and selecting the closest option among the given choices.\"},{\"question\":\"For Question 4, what changes between the USA and France populations are assumed?\",\"answer\":\"All relevant factors are assumed similar except for daily alcohol consumption levels, so the difference in expected CHD mortality is estimated based on that alcohol intake change.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Dale’s billing rule affect the missing instruction at position X in Questions 6-7?\",\"answer\":\"Dale charges a base fee plus $15.00 for each additional 15-minute work segment beyond the first.
