Example Question #180 : Statistics And Probability

A test was given to a class of students. The average for the class was .Two students scored , two scored , two scored  and two scored . For the remaining two students, one scored twice as much as the other. How much did the two remaining students score?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

It is clear that among the remaining two students, one scored lower than the other. Let the lower score of the remaining student be . Then the higher of the two scores is (as is twice as much as ). We want to find the values for and .

The sum of scores for the  students is . We know that average score (Here ) is sum of all the scores (Here  )divided by the total number of scores (Here ). 

Example Question #181 : Statistics And Probability

A test was given to a class of students. The average for the class was .Three students scored , two scored , two scored and two scored . What was the score for the remaining one student?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Let the score of the remaining student be .The sum of scores for the nine students is . We know that average score (Here ) is sum of all the scores (Here )divided by the total number of scores (Here ). Therefore,

 

 

Therefore the remaining one student scored .

Example Question #182 : Statistics And Probability

A test was given to a class of students. Three students scored , two scored , one scored , two scored  and two scored . What was the average score of the class? 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The average is the sum of all the scores divided by the total number of scores.

Here the sum of all the scores is

.

There are  students, therefore  scores.

So 

Example Question #182 : Statistics And Probability

In the following data set that has been arranged in ascending order:



The mean is twice the median. Find the mean.

Possible Answers:

Not enough information is given.

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Here if we started to calculate mean by its definition we would get into trouble because we don't know what  are.

However, we are given that the data set is arranged. Since there are odd number of terms (i.e ), we know that term is the median.

This is the term i.e .

Hence the mean is
