QUIZ 2

I. Write True if the statement is true and False if otherwise.

__________1. If all the values of a data set are the same, the mean equals the common value of all the data
elements.
__________2. As a general rule, the mean is the best measure of central tendency because it is more precise.
__________3. The median is affected by extreme sources.
__________4. A set of data can have the same value for mode, median, and mean.
__________5. The formula for calculating the median of grouped data is given by n(n+1)/2.
__________6. The mean, median, and mode all tell us the same thing.
__________7. The mean is the best, and the most frequently used measure of central tendency.
__________8. To calculate mode we first need to organize our data in numerical order.
__________9. Median of the distribution is the value of variable which divides it into three equal parts.
__________10. Mode is not based upon all the observations.
__________11. In any data set, the mode will always be unique.
__________12. The mean is not recommended if extremely large values are found in the data set.
__________13. The mean is the “most frequently observed value of the measurements in the relevant set of
data”.
__________14. The mode is computed by adding all the values and dividing the total by the total number of
observations.
__________15. A bimodal distribution has two modes and two medians.

II. Find for what is asked in each item. Show your solution at all times.

1. Consider the sample 13, 19, 18, 20, 16, 9, 10, 7, and 8. Find the mean.

2. In a certain shopping mall, restaurants charge P140, P195, P125, P150, P200, P165, P175, P190, P230, and
P180 for a regular dinner. Find the average cost.

3. Adidas sold 120 running shoes for a regular price of P5 000. For summer sale, the shoes were reduced to
P3 500 and 150 were sold. At the final clearance, the price was reduced to P2 500 and the remaining
80 were sold. What was the weighted mean price of Adidas running shoes?

4. Fifteen companies were asked to how many charitable institutions they gave their cash donations in 2016.
The companies responded that they gave money to 18, 15, 16, 10, 14, 13, 17, 20, 23, 27, 20, 19, 18,
27, and 22. Determine the media of the given data.

5. A manufacturer of rechargeable batteries took a sample of 13 batteries from a day’s production and used
them continuously until they were worn out. The number of recharged until failure were: 20, 25, 26,
27, 26, 31, 19, 20, 22, 28, 29, 26, and 28. Find the median.

6. Consider the sample 77, 80, 87, 84, 76, 70, 76, 75, 80, 63, 76, 39, 76, 77, 90, and 80. Find the mode.

7. The price of the different brand of electric fan at eight stores are found to be P1 200, P1 100, P900, P1 200,
P1 210, P1 250, P1 300, P1 450. Find the mode.
