About This Drill
ACT Math — Statistics and Probability — Drill 1 is a Math practice drill covering Statistics and Probability. It contains 5 original questions created by Brian Stewart, a Barron's test prep author with over 20 years of tutoring experience.
Statistics and Probability questions on the ACT cover measures of center (mean, median, mode), measures of spread (range, standard deviation), basic and conditional probability, and reading data from tables and graphs.
