4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 9, 9, 13?
______________ 8. Given the following data set: 11, 12, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18. If a is the mean, b is the median
and c is the mode, find 2 a+3 b−4 c .
______________ 9. Billy has the following daily schedule: he spend 8 hours sleeping, 6 hours studying, 3
hours for leisure, 4 hours for extra job and 3 hours for doing other stuff. If this schedule
is presented in a pie chart, what will be the central for “sleeping”?
For items 10 - 13, refer to the following data values arranged in ascending order:
4 6 7 8 8 x 10 11 13
______________ 10. Find all possible values of x so that the nine numbers have a unique mode.
______________ 11. Find all possible values of x so that the nine numbers have two different modes.
______________ 12. If the mean of the numbers is 8.56, what is the value of x ? Round off your answer
to a whole number.
______________ 13. Find all possible values of x so that the median of the given data set is 8.
______________ 14. Determine the mean deviation of the following data set: 2, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10
______________ 15. Find the variance of the same data set given in item 7 above.
______________ 16. What is the mean deviation of the following data set: 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12
______________ 17. Determine the variance of the same data set given in item 9 above.
______________ 18. What is the standard deviation of the data set given in item 9? Give your answer as a
radical.
______________ 19. The following data set is given: 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 9, 9, 10, 11, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,
16, 17, 17, 19, 20, 22. This data set is represented in a histogram with 5 classes, each
having a class width of 10. One of the classes has a class mark equal to 9.5. How many
data values will fall in this class?
______________ 20. In a given data set, the class mark of one of the classes is 12.5. if each class has a class
width of 10, what is the lower class limit of this class?
______________ 21. What is the upper class limit of the same class in item 13?
______________ 22. If you want to know the favorite subject of your classmates, which measure of central
tendency will you use?
______________ 23. In a moderately skewed distribution of data, the median is 21 while the mean is 20.
What is the mode?
______________ 24. The mean is 9 and the mode is 8 in a moderately skewed distribution of data. Find the
median.
______________ 25. Find the mean in a moderately skewed distribution if the median is 18 and the mode is
16.
