Situation A

1. I would join the Team Jaguar since its mean score is 77.

Solution:
67+87+54 +99+78 85+90+ 44+ 80+ 46
Jaguars = =77 Wolves = =69 Lions =
5 5
32+ 101+ 65+88+55
=68.2
5

2. Using the median score, I would join Team Wolves. It has a median score of 80 which is the
highest among all the teams.

Solution:
Teams Median Score
Jaguars 54 67 78 87 99
Wolves 44 46 80 85 90
Lions 32 55 65 88 101

3. If I were the coach of the Lions, I will report the mean score instead of the median score.

Solution:
Based from the above computations in the mean scores and median scores. The mean score
of Lions is 68.2 which is higher than its median score which is 65.

Situation B

1. The person who went to the movies least per month is Mary. The computed mode is 1.

Solution:

JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUNE JULY AUG SEPT OCT NOV DEC MODE
JOHN 1 3 2 5 2 3 1 4 2 3 2 1 2
MARY 1 2 1 1 1 3 3 2 2 4 1 2 1
BRIAN 1 3 2 2 1 4 5 3 2 2 1 3 2
KELLY 2 2 1 1 3 2 4 1 3 2 3 2 2

2. Their medians are all the same, so they all went with the same number of times.

Solution:

MEDIAN SCORES Computation

JOHN 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 5 (2 + 2)/2 = 2
MARY 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 4 (2 + 2)/2 = 2
BRIAN 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 5 (2 + 2)/2 = 2
KELLY 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 (2 + 2)/2 = 2
 3. By comparing the ranking of their mean, the rank will be as follows:
 John and Brian with mean of 2.4167
 Kelly with mean of 2.167
 Mary with mean 1.9167

Solution:
1+ 3+2+5+2+3+1+ 4+2+3+2+1
John = =2.4167 Mary =
12
1+ 2+ 1+1+1+3+ 3+2+2+4 +1+2
=1.9167
12

1+ 3+2+2+1+4 +5+3+2+2+1+3
Brian = =2.4167 Kelly =

2+ 2+ 1+ 1+ 3+2+4 +1+ 3+2+3+2
=2.167
12

4. By comparing the mean per month, July is the most popular movie-watching month with a
mean of 3.25

Solution:
JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUNE JULY AUG SEPT OCT NOV DEC
JOHN 1 3 2 5 2 3 1 4 2 3 2 1
MARY 1 2 1 1 1 3 3 2 2 4 1 2
BRIAN 1 3 2 2 1 4 5 3 2 2 1 3

1.25 2.5 1.5 2.25 1.75 3 3.25 2.5 2.25 2.75 1.75 2

5. By comparing the median per month, July is the most popular movie-watching month with a
median of 3.25

Solution:
JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUNE JULY AUG SEPT OCT NOV DEC
1 2 1 1 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 1
1 2 1 1 1 3 3 2 2 2 1 2
1 3 2 2 2 3 4 3 2 3 2 2

MEDIAN 1 2.5 1.5 1.5 1.5 3 3.5 2.5 2 2.5 1.5 2
Note: Data are properly arranged before determining the MEDIAN.

6. The mean of the medians for each month is 2.0833.

Solution:
JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUNE JULY AUG SEPT OCT NOV DEC
MEDIAN 1 2.5 1.5 1.5 1.5 3 3.5 2.5 2 2.5 1.5 2

By adding all the medians the result is 25. Then 25 is divided by the number of months which is 12. The mean
of the medians is 2. 0833.
Situation C

Answer: Trisha must have a final score of 91 to earn an average of 85.

Solution:
By Cross Multiplication: Algebraically: To get N:
75+87+90+ 88+79+ N 75+87+90+ 88+79+ N
=85 =85 419 + N = 510 N = 510 – 419
6 6
N = 91

75+87+90+ 88+79+91
Checking: =85
