Activity 1 (finals)
1. A doctor ordered 6 separate blood tests to measure a patient’s total blood cholesterol levels. The test
results were
246 236 225 224 215 210
Find the mean of the blood cholesterol levels.
246+236+225+224+215+210
Answer: 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 = 6

𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 = 226
The mean of the blood cholesterol levels is 226

2. Find the median of the data in the following lists.

a. 15, 28, 4, 83, 65, 35, 9, 52, 77, 75

Arranged form = 4, 9, 15, 28, 35, 52, 65, 75, 77, 83

median = 43.5

35+52
Answer: 𝑚𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑛 = = 43.5
2

A ns 𝑚𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑛 = 43.5

b. 22.5, 38.6, 15.7, 86.8, 19.6, 21.8, 32.5

Arranged form = 15.7, 19.6, 21.8, 22.5, 32.5, 38.6, 86.8

median = 22.5

Answer: 𝑚𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑛 = 22.5

3. Find the mode of the data in the following lists.

a. 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4 ,4, 5, 5, 5, 8, 8, 8, 8,

mode = 3
b. 12, 34, 12, 71, 48, 93, 71, 93, 12

mode = 12

c. The table 4.2 , shows Lourd’s second semester course grades. Use the weighted mean formula to
find lourd’s GPA for the second semester.

Course Course grade Course units

Biology A(4pts) 4
Statistic B(3pts) 3
Business C(3pts) 3
Psychology F(0pts) 2
CAD B(3pts) 2

mode = 3
4x4 + 3x3 +3x3 + 0x2 + 3x2
weighted mean = = 14
= 2.857142857

weighted mean = 2.857142857 or 2.86

Lourd’s GPA for the second semester is 2.857142857 or 2.86

4. The following table displays the ages of actors when they starred in their Oscar – winning Best
Actor performances in 1980 – 2015 Academy Awards.

41 33 31 74 33 49 38 61 21 41 26 80
42 29 33 36 45 49 39 34 26 25 33 35
35 28 30 29 61 32 33 45 66 25 46 55

Find the mean , median and mode for the data in the table.

∑𝑥 1439
Answer: 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 = = = 39.972 or 39.97
36 36

An s 𝑚𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑛 = 35
𝑚𝑜𝑑𝑒 = 33
