Explanation
Question 1. B
Be sure you’ve identified the correct chart, the correct year, and the correct data line: Use the chart showing the number of yachts sold, the data line showing refurbished yachts, and the information for 1996. The data point for 1996 lies just below 6,000, so select choice (B). If you selected choice (A), you may have used the data line showing information for new yachts; if you selected choice (C), (D), or (E), you may have used information from the wrong year.
Question 2. D
Because the number of new yachts sold by Company J was always greater than the number of refurbished yachts it sold, a decrease in the former and an increase in the latter results in the two data lines coming closer together. Only the year 2001 shows the correct pattern and both of the proper changes: The number of refurbished yachts sold increased from about 6,200 to about 6,500, and the number of new yachts sold decreased from about 9,300 to about 8,800. The answer is choice (D).
Question 3. A
First, use the median price chart to determine that 2002 was the year when the median prices of new and refurbished yachts were most similar. Next, use the data line for refurbished yachts in the other chart to determine that the number of yachts sold by Company J that year was less than halfway from 6,000 to 7,000; only choice (A) falls in the acceptable range.
