A Message from the Tutor


Thank for you buying this e-tutorial. The tutorial comprises of ten
tutorial lessons, and two review tutorial lessons all with
comprehensive solutions
One of my principal aims is to create a quality product. A great deal
of time went into viewing the suitability of questions, relating
examples to questions and sequencing questions in order of
difficulty. I gave a great deal of attention to the solutions, making
them as comprehensive as possible so that they can easily be
followed.
All the lessons have been tested in the classroom and have worked
well. I have found that with standard textbooks, quite often the
exercise questions do not relate to the given examples. Also difficult
questions seem to appear randomly, sometimes near the beginning
of the exercise, rather than at the end. Standard textbooks only give
brief answers and not fully worked solutions.

Lesson 01
Mean, Median and Mode
If we collect data by doing an experiment or survey, we need to
make sense of all the numbers. One way of doing this is to find a
representative number - a number which stands for all the other
numbers. This number is known as an average. Examples of
averages are the mean, median and mode.

Solutions

averages
a

(2 + 1 + 3 + 6 + 3)
15
=
=3
5
5

Median = 1, 2, 3, 3, 6 = 3

With the mean we sum up all the data and divide by how many
numbers there are. Quite often the figure we obtain has a different
format from the data (e.g. if the data has integer values, the mean is
often not an integer) and can be affected by very small or very large
values. However the mean is calculated from all data items

Mode = 3

With the median, the data is arranged in order of size, then the
middle number (or the average of two middle numbers if the number
of data items is even) is selected. The median is not affected by very
small or large values. It does not use all data items.
With the mode, the data is arranged in order of size and the most
frequently occurring number is selected. The mode is not affected by
very small or large values, but it can be affected by clusters (groups)
of numbers

Mean =

Total weight of 4 men = 73 x 4 = 292

Examples

Let the weight of the 5th man be w kg

Total weight of 5 men = 292 + w

For each of the following sets of numbers, calculate the mean,


median and mode
a

2, 1, 3, 6, 3

2, 3, 2, 4, 5, 2

The mean weight of 4 men is 73 kg. Another man joins them,


and their mean weight becomes 72 kg. What is the weight of the
5th man?

(292 + w )
= 72
5

292 + w = 72 x 5
292 + w = 360
w = 360 - 292
weight of the 5th man is 68 kg

weekly matches are as follows

The mean of 5 numbers is 13. When x is added to the 5


numbers, the mean becomes 12. Calculate the value of x.

average represents the data.

Histogram
The histogram is used to display continuous data - i.e. data
which cannot be measured exactly - length, weight, time etc. The
vertical axis measures frequency density where
frequency density = frequency
