    How do you determine the "mean" number?

    • Add all numbers together and divide by the amount of numbers

    • Add all numbers together and multiply by four

    • Add all numbers together and divide by four

    • Add all numbers together

    Correct Answer
    A. Add all numbers together and divide by the amount of numbers
    Explanation
    To determine the "mean" number, you need to add all the numbers together and then divide the sum by the amount of numbers. This is because the mean is calculated by finding the average of a set of numbers. Adding all the numbers together and dividing by the amount of numbers gives you the average or mean value of the set.

    What is the definition of "mean"?

    • The number that is repeated the most

    • The middle value in a number line

    • The average of all numbers

    Correct Answer
    A. The average of all numbers
    Explanation
    The definition of "mean" is the average of all numbers. It is calculated by adding up all the numbers in a set and then dividing the sum by the total number of values in the set. The mean gives a measure of central tendency and represents the typical value in a data set.

    What is the "mode"?

    • The average of all of the numbers

    • The middle number

    • The sum of all numbers together

    • The number that appears most frequently

    Correct Answer
    A. The number that appears most frequently
    Explanation
    The mode is the number that appears most frequently in a set of numbers. It is a measure of central tendency and helps identify the most common value in a dataset. Unlike the mean, which calculates the average, or the median, which finds the middle number, the mode focuses on identifying the number that occurs most often.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What is the mean of the following numbers? 2, 22, 12, 22

    • 22

    • 14.5

    • 14

    • 12

    Correct Answer
    A. 14.5
    Explanation
    The mean of a set of numbers is calculated by adding up all the numbers and then dividing the sum by the total number of values. In this case, the sum of the numbers 2, 22, 12, and 22 is 58. Dividing 58 by 4 (the total number of values) gives us 14.5. Therefore, the mean of the given numbers is 14.5.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    What is the most in the following number line?2, 100, 84, 43, 2, 3, 17, 84, 43, 2

    • 84

    • 2

    • 43

    • There is not a mode

    Correct Answer
    A. 2
    Explanation
    The number 2 appears the most frequently in the given number line. It appears a total of 3 times, which is more than any other number in the list. Therefore, 2 is the mode of the number line.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    How do you determine the median if there is an even amount of numbers?

    • Choose whichever one is smaller

    • You cannot determine the median if there is an even amount of numbers

    • Add the two middle numbers and divide by two

    • Multiple the two middle numbers and divide by two

    Correct Answer
    A. Add the two middle numbers and divide by two
    Explanation
    To determine the median when there is an even amount of numbers, you add the two middle numbers and divide the sum by two. This is because the median represents the middle value in a set of numbers, and when there is an even amount, there are two middle numbers. By adding them together and dividing by two, you find the average of the two middle numbers, which gives you the median value.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What is the median of these numbers? 3, 15, 43, 13, 52

    • 15

    • 13

    • 43

    • 3

    Correct Answer
    A. 15
    Explanation
    To find the median of a set of numbers, you need to arrange them in ascending order and then find the middle value. In this case, the given numbers are:
    3, 15, 43, 13, 52
    First, let's rearrange them in ascending order:
    3, 13, 15, 43, 52
    Since there are an odd number of values (5), the median is the middle number, which in this case is:
    15
    So, the median of the given numbers is 15.
