quantitative grouped FDT for this variable. Show preliminary computations (R, k,
and c). Also, construct a histogram for the data. Use appropriate labels and titles
for the table and graph. Describe the characteristics of the units in the data set
using a brief narrative report. Refer to the FDT and histogram constructed.

Frequency

What measure of central tendency would you use to find the center for the number of
best friends people have? Explain your answer.

Answer: The measure of central tendency i would used to find the center for the number of best friends
people have is Median because median is less sensitive to outliers and skewed distribution, and it
provides a better estimate of the center for such datasets.

2. The mean age of 10 full time guidance counselors is 35 years old. Two new full time guidance
counselors, aged 28 and 30, are hired. Five years from now, what would be the average age of
these twelve guidance counselors?

Answer: Five years from now the average age of these twelve guidance counselors is 39 years
old because after hiring two new guidance counselors aged 28 to 30 the total numbers of
counselors become 12 and the sum of there aged would be 350 yrs old + 28yrs old + 30 yrs old
would be 408 yrs old then we will divide it by 12 so 408 divided by 12 is equal to 34 then we will
add 5 to 34 the answer would be 39.

3. Houses in a certain area in a big city have a mean price of PhP4,000,000 but a median price is
only PhP2,500,000. How might you explain this best?

Answer: There maybe some outliers in the data.

4. Five persons were asked on the usual number of hours they spent watching television in a
week. Their responses are: 5, 7, 3, 38, and 7 hours.
a. Obtain the mean, median and mode.
Mean = (5 + 7 + 3 + 38 + 7) / 5 = 12

Median = 3, 5, 7, 7, 38 the median is the middle value, which is 7.

Mode = is 7

b. If another person were to be asked the same question and he/she responded 200
hours, how would this affect the mean, median and mode?

Answer:If another person were to respond with 200 hours, this would significantly affect the mean but
not the median or mode.The new mean would be calculated by adding the new value to the sum of the
original values and dividing by the new total number of values: New Mean = (5 + 7 + 3 + 38 + 7 + 200) /
6 = 50.The median and mode would remain the same because they are not affected by extreme values.
The median is still 7 and the mode is still 7.

2. For the senior high school dance, there is a debate going on among students regarding
the color that will be featured prominently. Votes were sent by students via SMS, and
the results are as follows:

Color Red Green Orange White Yellow Blue Brown Purple

No. of Votes
Received 300 550 70 130 220 710 35 5

a. Is there a clear winner on the choice of color?

Answer: Yes

b. Compute for the mean, median and modal color (if possible).
Answer: The modal color is blue and computing for mean and meadian is not possible
c. Why is it that we could or could not find each measure of the central tendency?

Answer: We could not find the measure of mean and median because the given is an example
of qualitative data.

d. Which measure of central tendency will determine the color to be prominently

used during the senior high school dance?
Answer: Mode is the measure of central tendency that will determine the color to be prominently used
during senior high school dance.

Learning Task 4: Answer the following questions.

1. A businesswoman is planning to have a restaurant in the university belt. She wants to study
the weekly food allowance of the students in order to plan her pricing strategy for the
different menus she is going to offer. She asked 213 students and gathered the following
data:

Weekly Food Weekly Food

Frequency Frequency
Allowance Allowance
50 5 550 3
100 3 600 18
150 6 700 22
170 1 750 8
200 8 800 16
250 5 900 11
300 5 1000 27
350 5 1200 2
400 6 1500 3
450 11 1700 1
500 46 2000 1

a. Determine the weekly food allowance where 60% of the students have at most.

Answer: 60% of the students is equivalent to 0.60 x 213 = 127.8 this means that we need to find the weekly
food allowance for the 128th student.By looking through the cumulative frequency, we can see that the
128th student falls under the category of "500" weekly food allowance therefore, the weekly food
allowance where 60% of the students have at most is 500 pesos.

b. What percentage of the students have a weekly food allowance that is at most 170 pesos?

Answer: The percentage of the students with a weekly food allowance at most 170 pesos is 15 because the
percentage of students with weekly food allowance at most 170 pesos is 15/213 x 100% = 7.04%.
c. If the business woman wanted to have at least 50% of the students could afford to eat in her
restaurant, what should be the minimum total cost of the meals that the student could have in a
week?

Answer: First we need to find the median weekly food allowance to find the median, we need to
add up the frequencies until we reach the middle of the data set, which is (213+1)/2 = 107th
student, the 107th student falls under the category of "500" weekly food allowance. Therefore, the
median weekly food allowance is 500 pesos.
