1. Use the tables below and find the mean, median and mode of the data. (6pts)
a.
Age of Students (x) 10 9 8 9 11 8 10 11 9 10

Solution:

Mean = 9.5, Median = 9.5, Mode = 9 & 10 bimodal

Mean = 18, Median = 22.5, Mode = 15

2. Consider the scores of 50 second year BS Chemistry students in Calculus 1 exam. Construct a
frequency distribution and compute the mean, median and mode of Table 1 and Table 2. For
Table 2, use Rule 1 for the number of classes and the first lower class limit is the minimum
or lowest value. (39pts)
Solution:
Range Number of Classes Class Width/Size
