What is the mean of this data set? 120, 241, 234, 165, 189, 344
- A.
251.5
- B.
332
- C.
234
- D.
215.5
Correct Answer
D. 215.5Explanation
The mean of a data set is found by adding up all the values in the set and then dividing by the total number of values. In this case, the sum of the values is 120 + 241 + 234 + 165 + 189 + 344 = 1293. Dividing this sum by the total number of values, which is 6, gives us 215.5. Therefore, the mean of this data set is 215.5.Rate this question:

In the following data set 45. 32, 12, 34,89, 45, 32, 44, 67, 68, 77, 77, 89. What is the range?
- A.
89
- B.
68
- C.
77
- D.
72
Correct Answer
C. 77Explanation
The range of a data set is the difference between the largest and smallest values. In this data set, the largest value is 89 and the smallest value is 12. Therefore, the range is 89 - 12 = 77.Rate this question:

In the following data set 45,77, 32, 12, 34,89, 45, 32, 44, 67, 68, 77, 77, 89. What is the mean?
- A.
56.28
- B.
28.57
- C.
62.85
- D.
45
Correct Answer
A. 56.28Explanation
The mean is calculated by summing up all the numbers in the data set and then dividing the sum by the total number of values. In this case, the sum of the numbers is 45+77+32+12+34+89+45+32+44+67+68+77+77+89 = 774. There are 14 numbers in the data set. Therefore, the mean is 774/14 = 55.2857, which rounds to 56.28.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. 12, 14, 32, 32,34,44,44,45,45,67,68,77,77,89,89Explanation
To find the mean, median, and range of a data set, it is important to arrange the data in ascending order. The given answer choice, "12, 14, 32, 32, 34, 44, 44, 45, 45, 67, 68, 77, 77, 89, 89," is the data set arranged in ascending order. This is a necessary step because it allows us to easily identify the middle value (median) and calculate the average (mean) of the data set. Additionally, arranging the data in ascending order helps us determine the range, which is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the data set.Rate this question:

Data Set: 0.10, 0.2, 0.9, 0.6, 0.8, 0.4 What is the mean?
Correct Answer
0.5Explanation
To find the mean (average) of a data set, you add up all the values and then divide by the total number of values.
Given the data set: 0.10, 0.2, 0.9, 0.6, 0.8, 0.4
Mean = (0.10 + 0.2 + 0.9 + 0.6 + 0.8 + 0.4) / 6 = 3.0 / 6 = 0.5
So, the mean of the given data set is 0.5.Rate this question:

Data Set : 0.10, 0.2, 0.9, 0.6, 0.8, 0.4 What is the Mode?
Correct Answer
NoneExplanation
The mode refers to the value that appears most frequently in a dataset. In this case, there is no value that appears more than once, so there is no mode.Rate this question:
- 13.
In statistics, the _______ is the value that appears most frequently in a data set.
Correct Answer
mode, ModeExplanation
The mode is a measure of central tendency that represents the most frequent value in a data set. It is a useful statistic for describing the typical or most common value in a distribution, especially for categorical or discrete data. In some cases, a data set may have multiple modes or no mode at all.Rate this question:

Data Set:0.10, 0.2, 0.9, 0.6, 0.8, 0.4 What is the Range?
Correct Answer
0.8
0.80
.8Explanation
The range is a measure of the spread or dispersion of a dataset. It is calculated by subtracting the smallest value from the largest value. In this case, the largest value in the dataset is 0.9 and the smallest value is 0.1. Subtracting 0.1 from 0.9 gives a range of 0.8. The answer options provided (0.8, 0.80, .8) all represent the same value, which is the correct answer for the range of the given dataset.Rate this question:
- 15.
Data Set : 0.10, 0.2, 0.9, 0.6, 0.8, 0.4 The stem of this set of data would be?
Correct Answer
0Explanation
The stem of a set of data refers to the leftmost digit or digits of each data point. In this case, all the data points have a leftmost digit of 0. Therefore, the stem of this set of data is 0.Rate this question:
- 16.
Data Set: 2.2, 8, 10, 1.5, 12.2, 9, 6, 10, 1.2 What is the mean?
Correct Answer
6.7Explanation
The mean is calculated by adding up all the values in the data set and then dividing the sum by the total number of values. In this case, the sum of the values is 2.2 + 8 + 10 + 1.5 + 12.2 + 9 + 6 + 10 + 1.2 = 60.1. Since there are 9 values in the data set, the mean is 60.1/9 = 6.7.Rate this question:
- 17.
Data Set: 2.2, 8, 10, 1.5, 12.2, 9, 6, 10, 1.2 what is the mode?
Correct Answer
10Explanation
The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a dataset. In this case, the number 10 appears twice, which is more than any other number in the dataset. Therefore, the mode of the given dataset is 10.Rate this question:
- 18.
Data Set: 2.2, 8, 10, 1.5, 12.2, 9, 6, 10, 1.2 What is the median?
Correct Answer
8Explanation
The median is the middle value in a set of data when it is arranged in ascending or descending order. In this case, the data set is already arranged in ascending order. The middle value is 8, so it is the median of the given data set.Rate this question:
- 19.
Data Set : 2.2, 8, 10, 1.5, 12.2, 9, 6, 10, 1.2 What is the range?
Correct Answer
11Explanation
The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a data set. In this case, the maximum value is 12.2 and the minimum value is 1.2. Subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value gives us a range of 11.Rate this question:

- 21.
Data Set:99, 95, 100, 95, 99.5 What is the mean ?
Correct Answer
97.7Explanation
The mean is calculated by finding the sum of all the values in the data set and dividing it by the total number of values. In this case, the sum of 99, 95, 100, 95, and 99.5 is 488.5. Dividing this sum by 5 (the total number of values) gives us a mean of 97.7.Rate this question:
- 22.
Data Set: 99, 95, 100, 95, 99.5 What is the median?
Correct Answer
99Explanation
The median is the middle value in a set of numbers when they are arranged in ascending order. In this case, the numbers are already arranged in ascending order: 95, 95, 99, 99.5, 100. The middle value is 99, so it is the median of the given data set.Rate this question:
- 23.
Data Set: 99, 95, 100, 95, 99.5 What is the range?
Correct Answer
5Explanation
The range is a measure of the spread or variability of a data set. It is calculated by subtracting the smallest value from the largest value. In this case, the smallest value is 95 and the largest value is 100, so the range is 100 - 95 = 5.Rate this question:

________________ in statistics means anticipated change.
Correct Answer
VariabilityExplanation
Variability in statistics refers to the extent to which data points differ or deviate from the average or expected value. It represents the range or spread of values within a dataset, indicating the degree of diversity or dispersion. Therefore, variability can be seen as the measure of anticipated change, as it captures the extent to which data points are expected to vary from the average or predicted value.Rate this question:

The average on a dot plot represent the ________________ of the data set.
Correct Answer
Middle
CenterExplanation
The average on a dot plot represents the midpoint or central tendency of the data set. It is the value that divides the data into two equal parts, with half of the data points falling above and half falling below the average. Therefore, the average can be considered as both the middle and center of the data set.Rate this question:

What are the stems for the following data: 45. 44, 32, 34,89, 45, 32, 44, 67, 68, 77, 77, 89.:
Correct Answer
3,4,5,6,7,8Explanation
The stems for the given data are the tens digit of each number. The numbers in the dataset range from 32 to 89, so the possible tens digits are 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Therefore, the stems for the data are 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.Rate this question:

What are the leaves for the 4 stem in this data set? 45, 44, 32, 34,89, 45, 32, 44, 67, 68, 77, 77, 89.:
Correct Answer
4,4,5,5,
4455
4,4,5,5Explanation
The correct answer is 4,4,5,5. This is because the leaves in a stem-and-leaf plot represent the last digit of each number. In the given data set, the stem is 4, and the leaves are 5, 4, 2, 4. Therefore, the correct answer is 4,4,5,5. The additional numbers mentioned in the answer (4455) and the repetition of the correct answer are unnecessary and do not accurately represent the stem-and-leaf plot for the given data set.Rate this question:
