Whenever you select insert new slide, you will be asked which layout to be used for new slide in the Insert slide window, there you can select your desired master layout.
See image below here I have selected "Question with Media" layout.
I was referring to the background design, not the layout design. Sorry if I have caused confusion.
My title page background has a bunch of images on it. I want the slide that is designed as blank in the middle. It always chooses the Title designed slide when I select any new slide. I would like it to choose the blank slide.
There won't be a way to apply a specific background unless it's set up as a master slide option and than you can select the layout as Parashuram showed. If you've set up some backgrounds you can apply them as described here after adding in the slides.
You may also want to look at utilizing themes in your course, as they'll encompass a number of the elements such as backgrounds, slide masters, etc.
Thank you Ashley. I have found the specific problem is with quizzing. The title background is always the default and THAT is where I'm having the problem with having to select a new background and change all of the fonts, etc.
There is a master slide for questions - and that should be what is utilized if you are inserting a built in question type. Here is more information about using the master slides - and if you want them to have separate backgrounds, you'd need to set up a different group of masters, but only the initial master set will be applied automatically.

Hope I'm clearer now.

Have you inserted all these images in master slide? (for title page background)
It's a custom designed slide. Regardless, I want to know how to change the default slide that appears when I select new slide.

Can you set a default background for quizzes?

Oh cool! Thank you, Ashley!
