A system was tested to classify animals based on their characteristics (size, habitat, and diet).
Three types of analyses were conducted: Size-only analysis, Habitat-only analysis, and
Combined analysis (using both size and habitat). The results of the tests are presented in the
tables below.
16. For size-only analysis, which animal group was hardest to classify correctly?
A. Mammal
B. Bird
C. Reptile
D. Fish

17. Considering just the size-only and habitat-only analyses, which of the following errors
was most likely?
A. Mistaking a bird for a mammal
B. Mistaking a fish for a reptile
C. Mistaking a mammal for a fish
D. Mistaking a reptile for a bird
18. How many animal groups had a higher chance of being correctly classified in the
combined analysis compared to the size-only analysis?
A. None
B. Two
C. Three
D. All four

Scenario: Jungle Race

In a jungle race competition, there are five animals: Cheetah, Kangaroo, Elephant, Monkey,
and Fox. Each week, two races are held between two different pairs of animals. The winning
animals for the first three weeks are marked below.

Rules:

1. An animal always defeats animals slower than itself.


2. An animal always loses to animals faster than itself.
3. None of the animals are equally fast.

Race Results:

Week 1

 Cheetah defeats Kangaroo


 Monkey defeats Elephant

Week 2

 Fox defeats Monkey


 Cheetah defeats Elephant

Week 3

 Kangaroo defeats Fox


 Monkey defeats Kangaroo

Questions:

19. Which of the following race outcomes is not possible?


A. Cheetah defeats Fox
B. Kangaroo defeats Elephant
C. Elephant defeats Fox
D. Fox defeats Monkey
20. If a new animal, the Tiger, joins the race and is faster than all other animals, which of
the following animals could Tiger defeat?
A. Cheetah and Kangaroo
B. Monkey and Fox
C. Elephant and Cheetah
D. All the other animals

21. Based on the results from the first three weeks, which animal is the second fastest?

18. For size-only analysis, which animal group was hardest to classify correctly?

Answer: C. Reptile

 In the Size-only analysis, reptiles were correctly classified 65% of the time, which is the
lowest percentage among the four groups.

17. Considering just the size-only and habitat-only analyses, which of the
following errors was most likely?

Answer: B. Mistaking a fish for a reptile

 In the Size-only analysis, 10% of fish were mistakenly classified as reptiles.


 In the Habitat-only analysis, only 5% of fish were mistakenly classified as reptiles,
making it less likely in the second test. Thus, the error was more likely in the size-only
analysis.

18. How many animal groups had a higher chance of being correctly classified in
the combined analysis compared to the size-only analysis?

Answer: D. All four

 Comparing the correct classification percentages for each group:


o Mammal: 75% (size-only) → 90% (combined)
o Bird: 70% (size-only) → 90% (combined)
o Reptile: 65% (size-only) → 85% (combined)
o Fish: 75% (size-only) → 90% (combined)

Since all groups had higher chances of correct classification in the combined analysis, the answer
is D. All four.

Question 19: Which of the following race outcomes is not possible?

Answer: C. Elephant defeats Fox

 Based on the results:


o Monkey defeats Elephant → Elephant is slower than Monkey.
o Fox defeats Monkey → Monkey is slower than Fox.
o Therefore, Elephant is slower than Fox, meaning Elephant cannot defeat Fox.

Question 20: If a new animal, the Tiger, joins the race and is faster than all other
animals, which of the following animals could Tiger defeat?

Answer: D. All the other animals

 Since Tiger is the fastest animal, it can defeat all other animals, including Cheetah,
Kangaroo, Monkey, Fox, and Elephant.

Question 21: Based on the results from the first three weeks, which animal is the
second fastest?

Answer: D. Cheetah

 Based on the results:


o Cheetah defeats Kangaroo and Elephant → Cheetah is faster than Kangaroo
and Elephant.
o Kangaroo defeats Fox → Kangaroo is faster than Fox.
o Fox defeats Monkey → Fox is faster than Monkey.
o No animal has defeated Cheetah, meaning it is the second fastest after Tiger (if
Tiger exists) or the fastest among the original group.
