Answer Key
Total data
1. Average money =
Number of Data

$ 78.6
=
3 people

= $26.2
Total data
2. Average score =
Number of Data

372.8
=
4 people

= 93.2
3. Total mass of 7 childrens:
32 kg + 35 kg + 40 kg + 43 kg + 55 kg + 56 kg + 60 kg = 321 kg

321kg
Average mass =
7
= 45.86 kg
4. Make all of the mas given same measurement into Kg :
60 000 g = 60 kg
75 000 g = 75 kg

Total mass of 5 pupils :

50 kg + 60 kg + 55 kg + 45 kg +75 kg = 285 kg

285 kg
Average mass =
5
= 57 kg
5. Total data = average data x number of data
= 3.4 kg x 9
= 30.6 kg
6. Total data = average data x number of data
= 172.5 cm x 8
= 1380 cm
7. a) Total distance within a week :
 413 km x 7 = 2 891 km
2 891 km – ( 324 + 408 + 833 + 420 + 230 + 103 ) km = 2 891km – 2318 km
= 573 km
b)Average distance from Monday to Wednesday :
( 324+ 408+573 ) km 1305 km
=
3 3
¿ 435 km
8. a) Total mass of fruits – total mass Monday to Saturday :
2300 g – ( 350 + 320 + 275 + 235 + 340 + 330 ) g = 2 300 g – 1 850 g

= 450 g
b) Average mass from Monday to Friday :
( 350+320+275+235+340 ) g 1520 g
=
5 5
¿ 304 g
Average mass from saturday and sunday :
( 330+450 ) g 780 g
=
2 2
¿ 390 g
The difference average mass : 390 g – 304 g = 86 g

9. Total 3 durians with the same mass :

1.35 kg x 3 = 4.05 kg
Total 6 durians :
4.05 kg + 2.25 kg + 1.40 kg + 1.70 kg = 9.40 kg

9.40 kg
Average mass of 6 durians =
6
= 1.567 kg

10. Total 2 watermelons with the same mass :

1.55 kg x 2 = 3.10 kg

Total 6 watermelons :
3.10 kg + 1.52 kg + 2.40 kg + 1.60 kg = 8.62 kg

8.62 kg
Average mass of 6 watermelons =
6
 = 1.437 kg
