Mean, Mode and Median

1. The mean of 2, b, 5, c, 12 is 6.4. The mean of 4, 4, 2b, 7, c, 11 is 7. Find the values of b
and c.
2. (i) A class has ! "o#s and 2! $irls. The mean mar% of a test for the "o#s is 5! and the
mean mar% for the $irls is 2!. Find the mean mar% for the &hole class.
(ii) 'n a class, the mean mar% of a test is 6! for the "o#s and 7! for the $irls. The total
mar% received is 6!! for the "o#s and 14!! for the $irls. Find the mean mar% for the
&hole class.
(iii) A class has 1! "o#s and 15 $irls. 'n a test, the total mar% for the "o#s is (!!
and the total mar% for the $irls is 1!!!. Find the mean mar% for the &hole class.
