A. The frequency distribution table below represent the exam scores for 108 randomly selected
college students. Find the mean, median, and mode.

Class Intervals Frequency

90 – 98 6
99 – 107 22
108 – 116 43
117 – 125 28
126 - 134 9

Median = 108 – 116

n = 109
MD = ( 109/2) – 54

m = 108 (9) + 108 = 71
f = 43 43

Mode = _9__ (11) + 108

9+2

B. The three sets below have the same mean and range. Compare the variations.
Data set 1 5 7 9 11 13 15 17
Data set 2 5 6 7 11 15 16 17
Data set 3 5 5 5 11 17 17 17

s2 = Σx2 – (Σx)2
n__
n–1

s = √ Σ (x – x ) 2
n–1

draft set 1:

Σx = 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 = 77
Σx2 = 52 + 72 + 92 + 112 + 132 + 152 + 172 = 959

s2 = 959 – (77)2
7_
= 18.66
6

s = √ 18.66 = 4.31
draft set 2

Σx = 5 + 6 + 7 + 11 + 15 + 16 + 17 = 75
Σx2 = 52 + 62 + 72 + 112 + 152 + 162 + 172 = 1,001

s2 = 1,001 – (75)2
7_
= 32.905
6

s = √ 32.905 = 5.73

draft set 3

Σx = 5 + 5 + 5 + 11 + 17 + 17 + 17 = 77
Σx2 = 52 + 52 + 52 + 112 + 172 + 172 + 172 = 1,063

s2 = 1,063 – (77)2
7_
= 36
6

s = √ 36 =6

The variation is not the same since each data set has data values that have varying from the
mean.
