Three recent studies demonstrated that paper and online tests measure the same knowledge and skills, but students who test online tend to perform slightly better than students who test on paper, especially on the English, reading, and writing tests. ACT will equate scores across modes as needed to ensure that ACT scores can be treated as interchangeable regardless of testing mode.

The table below gives experimental data values for variables x and y. Theory predicts that y varies directly with x. Based on the experimental data, which of the following values is closest to the constant of variation?
(Note: The variable y varies directly with the variable x provided that y = kx for some nonzero constant k, called the constant of variation.)

At a local post office, on average, 3 customers are in line when the post office closes each day. The probability, P, that exactly n customers are in line when the post office closes can be modeled by the equation P = (3ne-3)/n!. Given that e-3 ≈ 0.05, which of the following values is closest to the probability that exactly 2 customers are in line when the post office closes?
