Quiz #3 Averages I.

. In the following data, (a) tell which measure of central tendency is the most appropriate to use and (b) explain your choice very briefly. Then, (c) solve for this measure of central tendency you have chosen. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. preferred TV Channels: 18, 10, 34, 7, 34, 18, 37, 37 test item numbers answered correctly: 1, 12, 8, 9, 6, 5, 20 IQ: 140, 120, 120, 110, 120, 100, 90 speed of race cars: 200, 180, 190, 180, 300, 200 time of travel (hours): 5.0, 4.5, 7.0, 2.2, 3.1, 4.2

II. Solve. (3pts each) 1. RM earned 86 in Math IVA and 73 in Math IVB. Given that the overall grade in Math IV takes 60% from Math A and 40% from Math B, what is RMs Math IV grade? (round to the nearest units digit)

86 0.6 73 0.4 51.6 29.2 80.8

Thus, RMs grade is 81

2. If Mike gets 90% in the quizzes, 80% in the exams, 85% in the seatwork, 95% in the project, 90 % in the assignment and 90% in the recitation, what is his grade given that quizzes, exam, seatwork, project, assignment and recitation are 40%, 30%, 10%, 10%, 5% and 5% of the overall grade, respectively? (express your answer to the nearest units digit)

90 0.4 80 0.3 85 0.1 95 0.1 90 0.05 90 0.05 36 24 8.5 9.5 4.5 4.5 87
Thus, Mikes grade is 87 3. A class of 40 students whose mean score in the First Quarter Exam is 55 is divided into two groups, the passers and the failing. If the mean scores of the passers and failing are 65 and 40, respectively, how many passed and how many failed?

passers mean score number 65 x

failing 40 40 x

All 50 40

65 x 40 40 x 55 40 65 x 1600 40 x 2200 25 x 600 x 24

Quiz 4 Measures of Variability I. Answer what is being asked. 1. Why is the range the least commonly used measure of central tendency? 2. What is the advantage of standard deviation over the mean absolute deviation and the variance? Standard deviation can be manipulated algebraically and is expressed in the same unit as the data. 3. Which student is more consistent in terms of quarterly academic performance? Why? (5pts) a. Mike: 96, 90, 90, 95, 92, 96, 94, 91 sd = 2.4 b. Herman: 92, 89, 92, 93, 89, 92, 94, 95 sd = 2 c. Kent: 90, 90, 90, 93, 91, 92, 89, 93 sd = 1.41 Thus, Kent is the most consistent. Seatwork #5 Fundamental Counting Principle I. Identify what kind of principle is exemplified by the problem then solve for what is asked in each. Show your solution. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. In how many ways can 5 different trees be planted in a circular area? In how many ways can the word MATH be rearranged? In how many ways can the word SCIENCE be rearranged? In how many ways can 3 balls be drawn from an urn containing 10 balls? In a raffle draw, Mark won a free trip to any two cities: Baguio, Cebu, Bacolod, and Zamboanga. How many choices has he?
