Sample Praxis Math practice questions
Try a few representative questions below. Each includes the correct answer and a short explanation — the same style you'll see in the full practice test.
- Question 1Proportional Reasoning
A teacher is designing a lesson on proportional reasoning. They have a recipe that calls for 3 cups of flour to make 12 cookies. If the teacher wants to make 48 cookies, how many cups of flour will they need, assuming the proportions remain constant?
- A.10 cups
- B.12 cups(Correct)
- C.9 cups
- D.15 cups
Explanation
The ratio of flour to cookies is 3 cups / 12 cookies. To find the amount of flour for 48 cookies, set up a proportion: (3 cups / 12 cookies) = (x cups / 48 cookies). Solving for x, we get x = (3 * 48) / 12 = 144 / 12 = 12 cups.
- Question 2Averages and Means
A school district is analyzing student performance data. The mean score on a standardized math test for a sample of 100 students was 75. A second sample of 50 students had a mean score of 80. What is the combined mean score for all 150 students?
- A.75.5
- B.77.5
- C.78.33
- D.76.67(Correct)
Explanation
To find the combined mean, calculate the sum of scores for each group and divide by the total number of students. Sum for group 1: 100 students * 75 = 7500. Sum for group 2: 50 students * 80 = 4000. Total sum: 7500 + 4000 = 11500. Combined mean: 11500 / 150 = 76.67.
- Question 3Data Analysis and Correlation
A teacher is creating a scatter plot to show the relationship between hours studied and test scores. The data points are (2, 65), (4, 75), (5, 80), (7, 90), (8, 95). Which of the following best describes the correlation coefficient (r) for this dataset?
- A.r is close to 0
- B.r is close to -1
- C.r is close to 1(Correct)
- D.r is undefined
Explanation
The scatter plot shows a clear upward trend, meaning as the hours studied increase, the test scores also increase. This indicates a strong positive linear relationship, for which the correlation coefficient (r) would be close to +1.
