A person who has a heart attack can be saved 90% of the time if a defibrillator is used within 5 minutes of the heart attack. Of the people that have heart attacks, defibrillators are within the vicinity 40% of the time; however, they are only used 60% of the time even when they are in the surrounding area.
How many people who suffer a heart attack are saved because of the use of a defibrillator?

  1. 18%
  2. 22%
  3. 40%
  4. 54%
  5. 60%

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

If a defibrillator is used, we know that the patient will have a 90% success rate; however, only 40% of the people have this option available.
Therefore, we take 0.9 × 0.4 and know that only 36% of the people have this opportunity.
However, we also know that of the 36% of suffers, only 60% of the time is a defibrillator used.
Therefore, we must take 0.6 × 0.36 to find out how many patients are saved by the use of a defibrillator.
This results in 0.216 or 22% of patients are saved by the use of a defibrillator.



A paint company mixes its paint with water to create more paint per gallon. They currently have ten gallon jugs which contain 10% water.
How much water must they add to create an 80/20 mix of paint to water?

  1. 1 gallon
  2. 1.25 gallons
  3. 1.5 gallons
  4. 1.75 gallons
  5. 2 gallons

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Currently the mixture is 90% paint, 10% water or 9 gallons of paint for every 1 gallon of water. For the company to create an 80% / 20% mix, the company must add 1.25 gallons to their current 10 gallon mixtures. This will create 2.25 gallons of water for every 11.25 total gallons. This results in a 2.25/11.25 or 20% water mix.
