5.The table shows the monthly salaries for employees at a company.

a. Find the mean, median, and mode of the data.

b. Each employee receives a 5% raise. Find the mean, median, and mode of the data with the raise. How
does this increase affect the mean, median, and mode of the data?
c. Use the original monthly salaries to calculate the annual salaries. Find the mean, median, and mode of
the annual salaries. How are these values related to the mean, median, and mode of the monthly salaries?

6. The following data set lists the number of women from each of 12 countries who were on the Rolex
Women’s World Golf Rankings Top 50 list as of July 18, 2011. The data, listed in that order, are for the
following countries: Australia, Chinese Taipei, England, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Norway,
Scotland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, and the United States.
3 1 1 1 10 1 1 1 18 2 3 8
a. Calculate the mean and median for these data.
b. Identify the outlier in this data set. Drop the outlier and recalculate the mean and median. Which of
these two summary measures changes by a larger amount when you drop the outlier?
c. Which is the better summary measure for these data, the mean or the median? Explain.

7. Harrison recorded the length of time, rounded to the nearest 10 min, that he spent playing video games
each day for a month.

a) Construct a line plot of the data

b) Comment on the distribution of the data.
c) Identify outliers in the data
8. The table below represents the time taken by a group of students to finish a Maths test.
Time taken frequency
0 < t ≤20 8
20 < t ≤30 9
30 < t ≤35 10
35 < t ≤45 16
45 < t ≤60 5
a. How many students are recorded?
b. If the data is going to be represented by using histogram, then which one is best to be used:
frequency or frequency density? Explain.

9. The frequency table shows the monthly donations, in dollars, of a group of employees in an office :
Monthly 4 5 6 8 10 12 15
donation ($)
Number of 5 3 12 10 k 7 3
workers
a. (i) If the mode of distribution is $6, find the greatest possible value of k.

(ii) Referring your answer for k in (i), present the data using dot diagram

(iii) Briefly describe the distribution of the data

b. If the median of the distribution is $8, find the range value of k.
