APPLICATION

1. A college professor administrated a unit exam to one of his classes and found that the majority
of the items were too easy. The scores are 45, 39, 40, 48, 35, 37, 36, 37, 40, 44, 41, 49, 29, 28,
32, 36, 37, 41, 40, 36, 39, 30, 25, 43, and 50. calculate the mean, median, and mode.
The scores:
45, 39, 40, 48, 35, 37, 36, 37, 40, 44, 41, 49, 29, 28, 32, 36, 37, 41, 40, 36, 39, 30, 25, 43,
50
Step 1: To find the mean, add all the scores and divide by the number of scores.
Sum = 45 + 39 + 40 + 48 + 35 + 37 + 36 + 37 + 40 + 44 + 41 + 49 + 29 + 28 + 32 + 36 +
37 + 41 + 40 + 36 + 39 + 30 + 25 + 43 + 50 = 945
Number of scores = 25
Mean = 945/25=37.8
Step 2: Median First, we arrange the scores in ascending order:
25, 28, 29, 30, 32, 35, 36, 36, 36, 37, 37, 37, 39, 39, 40, 40, 40, 41, 41, 43, 44, 45, 48, 49,
50
There are 25 scores, so the median is the 13th score in the list.
Median = 37
Step 3: Mode The mode is the number that appears most frequently.
In this case, 36 and 37 each appear 3 times, which is the highest frequency.
Mode = 36 and 37 (bimodal)
Summary for the Exam Scores:
Mean = 37.8
Median = 37
Mode = 36 and 37
2. Find the mean salary for a small company which pays annual salaries to its employees as
shown in the following frequency distribution.
Table:
Salary PHP13,100 PHP11,400 PHP13,200 PHP18,500 PHP21,400 PHP25,600
No. of 11 10 8 7 4 3
employees

Step 1: Mean To find the mean salary, multiply each salary by the number of employees and then
divide the total by the total number of employees.
Total salary =
13,100×11=144,100
11,400×10=114,000
13,200×8=105,600
18,500×7=129,500
21,400×4=85,600
25,600×3=76,800
Total salary = 144,100 + 114,000 + 105,600 + 129,500 + 85,600 + 76,800 = 655,600
Total number of employees = 11 + 10 + 8 + 7 + 4 + 3 = 43
Mean salary = 655,600/43 = PHP 15,246.51163
