Hey everyone!
I’m back with another practice test. Sorry this one took a while to pump out since I have been busy lately.
Post your score/distribution, favorite problems, and thoughts on the difficulty of the test down below. Hope you enjoy!

9. After opening his final exam, Jason does not know how to solve a single question. So he decides to pull out his phone and search up the answers. Doing this, Jason has a success rate of anywhere from 94-100% for any given question he uses his phone on. However, if the teacher sees his phone at any point during the test, then Jason gets a 0.5 multiplier on his final test score, as well as he must finish the rest of the test questions without his phone. (Assume Jason uses his phone on every question he does until he finishes the test or gets caught.) Every question is a 5-choice multiple choice question. Jason has a 90% chance of not being caught with his phone. What is the expected value of Jason’s test score, rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent?
A - 89.9%, B - 90.0%, C - 90.1%, D - 90.2%, E - 90.3%
10. A criminal is caught by a police officer. Due to a lack of cooperation, the officer calls in a second officer so they can start the arrest smoothly. Officer 1 takes 26:18 to arrest a criminal, and officer 2 takes 13:09 to arrest a criminal. With these two police officers working together, how long should the arrest take?
A - 4:23, B - 5:26, C - 8:46, D - 17:32, E - 19:44
11. Suppose that on the coordinate grid, the x-axis represents economic freedom, and the y-axis represents social freedom, where -1 <= x, y <= 1 and a higher number for either coordinate represents more freedom along that particular axis. Accordingly, the points (0, 0), (1, 1), (-1, 1), (-1, -1), and (1, -1) represent democracy, anarchy, socialism, communism, and fascism, respectively. A country is classified as whichever point it is closest to. Suppose a theoretical new country is selected by picking a random point within the square bounded by anarchy, socialism, communism, and fascism as its vertices. What is the probability that it is fascist?
A - 1 - (1/4)pi, B - 1/5, C - (1/16)pi, D - 1/4, E - 1/8
12. Statistics show that people in Memphis who eat at KFC n days a week have a (1/10)(n+2) chance of liking kool-aid, and the number of people who eat at KFC n days a week is directly proportional to 8 - n (Note that n can only be an integer from 0 to 7, inclusive). A random person in Memphis is selected. Find the probability that they like kool-aid.
A - 13/30, B - 17/30, C - 19/30, D - 23/30, E - 29/30

17. Two congruent towers stand near each other. Both take the shape of a right rectangular prism. A plane that cuts both towers into two pieces passes through the vertical axes of symmetry of both towers and does not cross the floor or roof of either tower. Let the point that the plane crosses the axis of symmetry of the first tower be A, and the point that the plane crosses the axis of symmetry of the second tower be B. A is 81% of the way from the floor to the roof of the first tower, and B is 69% of the way from the floor to the roof of the second tower. What percent of the total mass of both towers combined is above the plane?
A - 19%, B - 25%, C - 50%, D - 75%, E - 81%

24. Find the last three digits of 24^10.
A - 376, B - 576, C - 626, D - 876, E - 926
25. A basketball has a diameter of 9 inches, and the hoop has a diameter of 18 inches. Peter decides to pick up the basketball and make a throw. Given that Peter has a 1/4 chance of accidentally hitting the backboard and missing the shot, but if he doesn’t, he is guaranteed that the frontmost point of the basketball will be within 18 inches of the center of the hoop at the moment when a great circle of the basketball crosses the plane containing the rim. No part of the ball will extend behind the backboard at any point during the throw, and the rim is attached directly to the backboard. What is the probability that Peter makes a green FN?
A - 3/128, B - 3/64, C - 3/32, D - 3/16, E - 3/8
