Uploaded by Mary Man

A set of four worked math questions focused on calculating mean, median, mode, and range from real-life style data sets. Problems cover a times table test of nine children out of thirty, jump distances from named salamanders, January temperatures across seven world locations, and rainfall amounts recorded over a two-week period by a rain gauge. An answers section follows each question with the computed statistics.

Questions

Answers

MEAN, MEDIAN, MODE AND RANGE PROBLEMS 2 1) In a times table test, a group of 9 children score 25, 17, 21, 25, 23, 21, 27, 21 and 18 out of a total of 30. Find their mean, median, mode and range. Mean Median Mode Range 2) The salamanders have a competition to see how far they can jump. Their results are as follows: Captain 2.3m Sally 3.5m Quadra 1.7m Tyger 4.3m Frazer 2.1m Flame 1.7m Find the mean, median, mode and range of their jumps. Mean Median Mode Range 3) On a day in January the temperatures for 7 places around the world are as follows: Amsterdam 5°C Hong Kong 15°C Moscow-17°C Toronto-17°C Cape Town 20°C Minneapolis-21°C New York-6°C Find the mean, median, mode and range of temperatures. Mean Median Mode Range 4) In November during a 2-week period, a rain gauge measures the following amounts of rain in cm: {2 .5, 1.7, 0, 0.7, 1.4, 2.3, 3. 1, 2, 1.8, 0, 1.7, 3.4, 0, 0.4} Find the mean, median, mode and range of the rainfall.

FAQs

How do you calculate the mean, median, mode, and range in these problems?

For each data set, compute the mean by averaging all values, the median by finding the middle value when ordered, the mode as the most frequent value, and the range as the highest minus the lowest value.

What data types are used across the four questions?

The problems use test scores, jump distances, temperature readings in °C, and rainfall measurements in cm.

Which statistics are given in the answers section for each question?

Each answer lists the mean, median, mode, and range for that specific data set.
