Tutorial 10

Shahar, Balan, and Terry each threw a softball five times and their throws were measured in meters. Their individual results, means, medians, and modes were calculated. A bar graph was drawn to display the results. The question then provides examples of different types of questions that could be asked to test reasoning and understanding of concepts like mean, median, mode, and range based on the data given.

QUESTION 1

A group of children wished to send a representative to a softball throwing contest. Three


children volunteered. Each volunteer was asked to make five throws which were measured with
a trundle wheel to the nearest metre. The results were:

VOLUNTEERS THEIR 5 THROWS (to the nearest metres)

Shahar 28, 23, 22, 24, 27

Balan 24, 23, 27, 24, 27

Terry 23, 27, 29, 18, 26

To help comprehend these results, the children tallied them into a frequency and graph onto bar
graph. Draw the graph, calculate the mean, median and range for each volunteer. Shows the
graph.

The calculations:

Shahar – 28, 23, 22, 24, 27

Mean = 28+23+22+24+27
5

= 124
5

= 24.8

Median = 28, 27, 24, 23, 22

= 24

Mode = None
Balan – 24, 23, 27, 24, 27

Mean = 24+23+27+24+27
5

= 125
5

= 25

Median = 27, 27, 24, 24, 23

= 24

Mode = 27 and 24

Terry – 23, 27, 29, 28, 26

Mean = 23+27+29+18+26
5

= 123
5

= 24.6

Median = 29, 27, 26, 23, 18

= 26

Mode = None
QUESTION 2

Create 10 different questions that you can use to make your reasoning from the problems.

1. If the heights of 5 people are 142 cm, 150 cm, 149 cm, 156 cm, and 153 cm. Find the
mean height.

2. Let's consider the data: 56, 67, 54, 34, 78, 43, 23. What is the median?

3. Find the mode of the given data:

Marks obtained 1-20 21-40 41-60 61-80 81-100

Number of students 5 10 12 6 3

4. If the mean of the following data is 20.6, find the missing frequency (p).
x 10 15 20 25 30

f 3 10 p 7 5

5. The mean of 5 numbers is 18. If one number is excluded, their mean is 16. Find
the excluded number.

6. Find the mean, median, mode and range for the given data:
90, 94, 53, 68, 79, 94, 53, 65, 87, 90, 70, 69, 65, 89, 85, 53, 47, 61, 27, 80

7. James has a number of 6 kg sacks of carrots, and a number of 16 kg sacks of


carrots.The mean weight of the sacks of carrots is 12 kg.
What is the least number of 6 kg and 16 kg sacks of carrots that James has?

8. James earns RM8.43 an hour. He thinks that most of her friends are paid more.
Here is a list of how much his friends earn per hour.

Simon RM8.55 Jane RM8.48

Jenny RM8.40 Peter RM8.29

Helen RM8.48 Amy RM8.44

By calculating the mean, median and mode for her friends pay, investigate if Sarah is
correct, giving an explanation for your answer.

9. Find the mean, median, mode for the following set of numbers.
1, 20, 15, 8, 7, 8, 7, 11, 11, 1, 8
Give your answer for the mean to 1 decimal place.

10 . A set of four numbers that begins with the number 32 is arranged from smallest to
largest. If the median is 35, which of the following could possibly be the set of numbers?
