Statistical Problem Set Analysis

1. The marathon player had an average speed of 27.5 km/h for his two-way trip based on running 7 km at 30 km/h for the first trip and returning at 25 km/h. 2. Annabelle's final grade for the course was 87.95% based on her scores on 5 short exams, a major project, and a long exam which together made up her final grade per the professor's criteria. 3. For John to increase his average score from 82 to 85 across 5 exams, he needs to score 97 on the additional exam.

Module 1-Problem Set 2: Problem Solving

Read and analyze the following statistical problems. Then answer the questions that follow for each of
the items given.

1. Suppose a marathon player covers 7 kilometers with a speed of 30 kilometer per hour in a race for his
one-way trip. During the return trip, his speed decelerates to 25 km per hour. Find the average speed of
the marathon player for his two-way trips in a race. (10 points)

No. of Trip 1 2
Speed 30 25 Average speed 27.5

X= 30+25/2
=55/2
=27.5

2. A course professor rated his students on 5 different short exams, major projects, and long
examinations. Each short test is worth 5% of the final grade while the projects count 35% of the final
grade. The long examination composed the remaining 40% of the final grade. Annabelle had scores in
her 5 short examinations, 95, 90, 80, 75, 85. Her major projects had a rating of 90 while her long
examination score was 88. Determine Annabelle’s final grade for the course. (10 points)

95 90 80 75 85
short exams 5% each 4.75 4.5 4 3.75 4.25 21.25
90
Major Project 35% 31.5
88
Long exams 40% 35.2
FINAL GRADE 87.95
3. After taking a series of 4 classroom examinations, John obtained a mean score of 82. How much score
John has to get in another examination to increase his score average score to 85? (10 points)

No. of exam 4 5
MEAN SCORE 82 85 target score 97

82x4=328
5 5
328+x = 85
5

328+x=425
x=425-328
x=97

4. Consider the data of a businessman that accumulates the daily sales of his restaurant
business during the 10-day period. The data are shown below.
 
Php 18,500     Php 23,600     Php 21,210     Php 14,515     Php 20,500
Php 21,700     Php 14,250     Php 18,345     Php 28,550     Php 32,220
 
Obtain the mean, range, and sample standard deviation of the given data set. Then interpret
the resulting measures by giving impressions for the single values.

To calculate the average speed of a marathon runner given the speeds in each direction, you take the total distance covered and divide it by the total time taken. In the provided problem, the outbound speed is 30 km/h for 7 km, and the return speed is 25 km/h for 7 km. Calculate the time for each trip: time1 = 7 km / 30 km/h = 0.2333 hr, and time2 = 7 km / 25 km/h = 0.28 hr. Total time is 0.2333 hr + 0.28 hr = 0.5133 hr. The total distance is 14 km. Thus, average speed = 14 km / 0.5133 hr ≈ 27.26 km/h .

Annabelle's final grade is calculated using the weighted scores: short exams (95, 90, 80, 75, 85) at 5% each, major project (90) at 35%, and long exam (88) at 40%. Average for short exams = (95+90+80+75+85)/5 = 85. Her final grade = [(85 * 0.25) + (90 * 0.35) + (88 * 0.4)] = 21.25 + 31.5 + 35.2 = 87.95 .

For the business's 10-day sales data, apply mean, range, and sample standard deviation. The mean is calculated by summing all sales and dividing by 10, yielding 21,339. The range is the difference between the maximum (32,220) and minimum (14,250) sales amounts, equating to 17,970. Sample standard deviation is derived using each day's deviation from the mean, squaring these, summing them, dividing by the number of days minus one, and finally taking the square root, which is approximately 5,678.44 .

John's current mean score from four exams is 82, totaling 328 (82*4). To raise his average to 85 across five exams, the total must be 85*5 = 425. Therefore, the required score on the next exam is 425 - 328 = 97 .
