The artist has correctly determined that to make the largest possible square grid from the available tiles, she must use all of the except for those in the group of X tiles. Moreover, if she uses all of the tiles except for those in the group with X tiles and those in the group with Y tiles, she could make a smaller square grid.

select for X for Y the values that are consistent with the information provided. Make only two selections, one in each column.

Elena has worked as a real estate agent for exactly 3 years—Years 1, 2, and 3. In Year 1, she sold exactly 16 properties. She sold more properties In Year 2 than in Year 1, and more properties In Year 3 than In Year 2. The average (arithmetic mean) number of properties she sold per year for the 3 years was 19.

Select a number for Year 2and a number for Year 3that could be the total numbers of properties Elena sold in Year 2 and in Year 3, respectively, so that the selections are Jointly consistent with the information provided. Make only two selections, one In each column.

Executive: For this year, our firm's advertising budget for Brand X is four times that for last year, but only half that for the year before last. For each year, for each of our

brands, our advertising budget is 10 percent of the average (arithmetic mean) of two amounts: the brand's projected sales for the year and the brand's actual sales for the

preceding year. Actual sales of Brand X last year were $5.23 million.

Statement A: Given the executive's statements, a journalist could infer what this year's advertising budget for Brand X is if she knew what the amount of

was.

Statement B: Given the knowledge of this year's advertising budget for Brand X, if the reporter also knew Brand X's actual sales for the year before last, she could also

infer :

Select for A and for 8 two different options that, if inserted in the blanks, create statements that are supported by the statements attributed to the executive. Make only

two selections, one in each column.

Television picture quality improves as resolution increases. However, the resolution at which a given improvement in resolution becomes visible varies with the distance of

the viewer from the screen. As a viewer moves closer to the screen, a given improvement in resolution eventually becomes noticeable, finally conferring its “full benefit” at

a point at which moving closer would not improve the viewing experience.

On the graph, 480p, 720p, 1080p, and 1440p represent four common degrees of resolution: greater numbers indicate greater numbers of pixels on the screen and thus

greater resolution. Shaded portions show the distances at which these resolutions become noticeable, while the broken lines show the maximum distances at which a

viewer with normal eyesight would be expected to experience full benefit—all as a function of screen size. For each resolution and screen size shown, there is a small gap

between the maximum distance for full benefit from the resolution and the minimum distance for noticeable benefit from the next higher resolution.

(Note: 3 feet is roughly 1 meter, and 1 inch is roughly 2.5 centimeters.)

Assuming that the information contained in the graphic correctly applies to all viewers, select from the drop-down menus the options making the statements most

accurate.

West River Glen is deciding which network architecture should replace its old copper telephone lines. The town will replace 300 miles of Outside Plant (OSP) cable that will serve approximately 2,500 homes.

The first option is to install a Fiber to the Home (FTTH) system architecture that uses fiber-optic cable to transmit signals from the source to each home. The advantages of this architecture include greater bandwidth capabilities, less signal loss, and slightly lower new-cable deployment costs than the second option, Hybrid Fiber-Coax (HFC).

An HFC network integrates fiber-optic cables and devices with coaxial cables.

This will cost the town substantially less money for internal equipment and for customer installations. However, the coaxial cable does not last as long as fiberoptic cable and will thus need to be replaced more frequently, resulting in higher long-term maintenance expenses.

The town believes that either the FTTH or HFC architectures will be capable of serving the communities' data and television needs for the next 30 years.

For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement can be inferred to be true on the basis of the information provided. Otherwise, select No.

A certain small company has a policy that every manager must be scheduled to be present at the company's office at any time during which all of the manager's supervisees

are scheduled to be present at the office. The shifts of the three supervisees of a certain manager, in 24-hour format, are as follows:

* Employee 1—Scheduled to be present from 11:30 through 16:00 every business day

* Employee 2—Scheduled to be present from 9:00 through 14:30 every business day

* Employee 3—Scheduled to be present from 10:30 through 13:30 every business day

Indicate below the earliest time and the latest time at which, based on the information provided, the manager must be scheduled to be present at the office on every

business day. Make only two selections, one in each column.

Sales promotions can involve selling a product at a relatively low price or selling the product with a free (or seemingly free) unit of the product, as in "buy one, get one free" campaigns. Research shows that immediately following month-long sales promotions, a postpromotion dip may occur, i.e., sales for the following calendar month may be less than sales for the calendar month preceding the sales promotion.

To increase sales, Storex, a department store, held month-long sales campaigns to promote four of its products. A sales promotion was considered successful if unit sales of the product were at least 10% higher in each of the 2 calendar months immediately following the promotion than In the month preceding it.

Experts have offered explanations for postpromotion dip:

• Explanation I: Many consumers stockpile the product at relatively low cost during the sales promotion.

• Explanation II: "Buy one, get one free" promotions cause some consumers to undervalue the product, making them less likely to buy it following the sales promotion.

• Explanation HI: Many consumers who missed a "buy one, get one free" opportunity may, as a result, develop so-called inaction inertia, i.e., become less likely to buy the product at either the regular or even at a discount price than if the sales promotion had not occurred.

For each of the following actions, select Yes if it is mentioned in at least two of the tabs. Otherwise, select No.

In order to better control traffic at a certain busy intersection, a study was conducted to determine how many vehicles passed through the intersection during various times of day and what trajectories they took. For each possible trajectory (combination of direction from which a vehicle entered the intersection and direction to which it exited the Intersection), the graph shows the number of vehicles passing through the intersection during a certain hour.

Archaeologists have excavated two ancient sites, Site A and Site B, each containing bowls and dishes. A third site containing similar vessels (bowls and dishes), Site C, Is known to have existed but has not yet been located. The vessels have been dated to three successive 40-vear-long time periods (Mil).

The dishes that were found are small and plain and were made primarily for everyday use. For each site, the average population at the site for a period is known to be roughly proportional to the number of dishes found that were dated to that period.

The bowls are more elaborate, decorated In either a curvy or a rectilinear style. They were made primarily for ritual use. The numbers of bowls found indicate the level of wealth of the site's inhabitants during the period to which the bowls were dated (with greater numbers indicating greater wealth).

Documents found at Sites A and B establish that exactly 18 of the dishes found at Site A were manufactured at Site C; otherwise, all of the vessels were made at the sites where they were found.

For each of Sites A through C, select Yes If the Information provided Indicates that the population at that site was both greater in Period II than Period I and greater in Period III than in Period II. Otherwise, select No.

According to the information provided, which of the following attributes is an advantage of HFC network architecture as compared with FTTH architecture?
