5. The fifth-grade students in five classes at Mars Hill Elementary created the table below when they sold magazines for a field trip fundraiser.  Based on the table, what is the median number of magazines sold?  

Explanation

The table shows the number of magazines sold by fifth-grade students at Mars Hill Elementary. To find the median, we need to arrange the numbers in ascending order. The numbers are 203, 213, 237, and 259. Since there are four numbers, the median will be the average of the two middle numbers, which are 213 and 237. Adding them together and dividing by 2 gives us a median of 225.5. However, since the number of magazines sold must be a whole number, the median is rounded down to 237.

6. Mrs. Garcia's students collected cans for recycling. The following is a record of how many cans were collected by each student: 3, 7, 9, 6, 6, 3, 7, 9, 5, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 6, 7, 7, 1, 3, 6, and 6. What is the mode for the data?

Explanation

The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a data set. In this case, the number 6 appears the most times (6 times) compared to any other number in the data set. Therefore, the mode for the given data is 6.

7. Melinda's bowling scores are 125, 150, 150, 175, and 200. Which of the following statements is true about Melinda's bowling scores? **Remember that > means greater than and < means less than**

Explanation

The median is the middle value when the scores are arranged in ascending order, and the mode is the value that appears most frequently. In this case, the scores are 125, 150, 150, 175, and 200. The median is 150 because it is the middle value, and the mode is also 150 because it appears twice, which is more than any other score. Therefore, the statement "median = mode" is true about Melinda's bowling scores.

Submit
8. The salaries of eight employees are $18,000; $29,000; $20,000; $22,000; $20,000; $25,000; $27,000; and $26,000. What is the median salary?

Explanation

The median salary is the middle value when the salaries are arranged in ascending order. The salaries in ascending order are: $18,000, $20,000, $20,000, $22,000, $25,000, $26,000, $27,000, $29,000. The middle value is $22,000, which is the median salary. Therefore, the correct answer is $23,500.

9. Fifteen scouts earned badges for their successful projects. Below are the numbers of badges earned by each scout. 8, 12, 17, 14, 9, 8, 6, 13, 15, 14, 10, 14, 11, 12, 10 How are the range, median, and mode arranged in order from least to greatest?

Explanation

The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in a dataset. In this case, the lowest value is 6 and the highest value is 17, so the range is 17 - 6 = 11. The median is the middle value when the dataset is arranged in numerical order. Arranging the numbers in order, we have: 6, 8, 8, 9, 10, 10, 11, 12, 12, 13, 14, 14, 14, 15, 17. The middle value is 12, so the median is 12. The mode is the value that appears most frequently in the dataset. In this case, the mode is 14 because it appears three times, more than any other number. Therefore, the correct order is range, median, mode.

Tamika listed her science grades in the stem-and-leaf plot below. [Stem] What is the range of Tamika's grades?
 

Explanation

Submit
12. Which set of data has the same number as the median, mode, and range?

Explanation

The set of data 35, 62, 22, 84, 62 has the same number as the median, mode, and range. The median is the middle value of the data set, which in this case is 62. The mode is the value that appears most frequently, and in this set, both 62 and 38 appear twice, but 62 is the larger value, so it is the mode. The range is the difference between the largest and smallest values, which in this set is 84 - 22 = 62. Therefore, all three measures (median, mode, and range) have the same value in this set.

Submit
