1. The mean score of a group of 20 students is 65. Two other students whose scores are89 and 85 were
added to the group. What is the new mean of the group of students?

2. The mean of a list of 6 numbers is 20. If we remove one of the numbers, the mean of the remaining
numbers is 15. What is the number that was removed?

3. 60, 61, 61, 61, 62, 62, 63, 63, 63, 63, 63, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64, 65, 65, 66
Here, finding the mean, median and mode

8. You’re interested in investigating the efficiency of a brand of batteries. You run a study,recording the
number of hours each round of batteries last. Find the average number of hours this brand of
batteries lasted from the following data set.

9. You want to illustrate the example that changing units effect different measures differently.
You have data on the average heights of males in the UK from 1900 to 1980.Find the average of
these heights, then calculate these measures for heights in feet andinches (1 in = 2.54cm). Choose
an appropriate chart or plot to illustrate these changes.

Year Heights in Cm
1900 169.4
1910 170.9
1920 171
1930 173.9
1940 174.9
1950 176
1960 176.9
1970 177.1
1980 176.8
