    This document contains three sections summarizing various data sets: 1. It provides examples of calculating the mode, mean, and median of several data sets. 2. It asks to find the mode, mean, median and determine the most appropriate average for different data sets including student ages, exam scores, cricket scores, and die rolls. 3. It presents swimming times for two age groups and asks to create a back-to-back stem-and-leaf diagram and calculate a new student's time based on a change in class mean.

    1. Find the mode, mean and median of these figures.

    (i) 23 46 45 45 29 51 36 41 37 47 45 44 41 31 33
    23 29 32 33 36 37 41 41 44 45 45 45 46 47 51
    Mode = 45
    Mean = (23 + 29 + 32 + 33 + 36 + 37 + 41 + 41 + 44 + 45 + 45 + 45 +46 + 47 + 51) / 15 = 39.6
    Median = 41
    (ii) 110 111 116 119 129 126 132 116 122 130
    116 132 118 122 127 132 126 138 117 111
    110 111 111 116 116 116 117 118 119 122
    122 126 126 127 129 130 132 132 132 138
    Mode = 116 and 132
    Mean = 122.5
    Median = ½ (122 + 122) = 122
    (iii) 5 7 7 9 1 2 3 5 6 6 8 6 5 7 9 2 2 5 6 6
    6 4 7 7 6 1 3 3 5 7 8 2 8 7 6 5 4 3 6 7
    1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 5 5 5 5 5 5 6 6
    6 6 6 6 6 6 6 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 8 8 8 9 9
    Mode = 6
    Mean = 5.3
    Median = ½ (6 + 6) = 6
    2. For each of these sets of data :
    (a) find the mode, mean and median
    (b) state, with reasons, which you consider to be the most appropriate form of average to describe the
    distribution.
    (i) The ages of students in a class in years and months.
    14.1 14.11 14.5 14.6 14.0 14.7 14.7 14.9 14.1 14.2
    14.6 14.5 14.8 14.2 14.0 14.9 14.2 14.8 14.11 14.8
    15.0 14.7 14.8 14.9 14.3 14.5 14.4 14.3 14.6 14.1
    14.0 14.0 14.1 14.1 14.1 14.2 14.2 14.2 14.3 14.3
    14.4 14.4 14.5 14.5 14.6 14.6 14.6 14.7 14.7 14.7
    14.8 14.8 14.8 14.8 14.9 14.9 14.9 14.11 14.11 15.0
    Mode = 14 years 8 months
    Mean = 14 years 5.5 months
    Median = ½ (14.6 + 14.6) = 14 years 6 months
    Small data set so mode is inappropriate. You would expect all the students in one class to be uniformly
    spread between 14 years 0 months and 15 years, so either of the other measures would be acceptable.
    (ii) Students’ marks on an examination paper.
    55 78 45 54 0 62 43 56 71 65 0 67 67 75 51 100
    39 45 66 71 52 71 0 0 59 61 56 59 59 64 57 63
    0 0 0 0 39 43 45 45 51 52 54 55 56 56 57 59
    59 59 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 67 71 71 71 75 78 100
    Mode = 0
    Mean = 53.5
    Median = ½ (59 + 59) = 59
    The median. Small sample makes the mode unreliable and the mean is influenced by extreme values.
    (iii) The scores of a cricketer during a season’s matches.
    10 23 65 0 1 24 47 2 21 53 5 4 23 169 21
    17 34 33 21 0 10 78 1 56 3 2 0 128 12 19
    0 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 4 5 10 10 12 17 19
    21 21 21 23 23 24 33 34 47 53 56 65 78 128 169
    Mode = 0 and 21
    Mean = 29.4
    Median = ½ (19 + 21) = 20
    Small sample so the mode is inappropriate; the mean is affected by outliers, so the median is the best
    choice.
    (iv) Scores when a die is thrown 40 times.
    24551346252461254411
    34655233165421332166
    11111112222222333333
    44444445555555666666
    Mode = 1 , 2 , 4 and 5
    Mean = 3.45
    Median = ½ (3 + 4) = 3.5
    Anything but the mode will do. The distribution, uniform in theory, means that mean = median. This sample
    reflects that well.

    3. The lengths of time in minutes to swim a certain distance by the members of a class of twelve 9-year-olds and by
    the members of a class of eight 16-year-olds are shown below.
    9 – year-olds : 13.0 16.1 16.0 14.4 15.9 15.1 14.2 13.7 16.7 16.4 15.0 13.2
    16 – year-olds : 14.8 13.0 11.4 11.7 16.5 13.7 12.8 12.9
    (i) Draw a back-to-back stem-and-leaf diagram to represent the information above.
    n = 12 + 8
    5 12 1 represent of 12.5 mins for 9 – years old and 12.1 mins for 16 years – old
    9 – Years Old 16 – Years Old

    7 2 0 13 0 7
    4 2 14 8
    9 1 0 15
    7 4 1 0 16 5
    (ii) A new pupil joined the 16-year-old class and swam the distance. The mean time for the class of nine pupils was
    now 13.6 minutes. Find the new pupil’s time to swim the distance.
    15.6 mins
