2. Anne averaged 151 points in her first 7 games and averaged 158 points in her last 3 games. What did she average
over all games?
3. Four students take an exam. Three of their scores are 85, 78 and 92. If the average of their four scores is 88, then
what is the remaining score?
4. Four students take an exam. The sum of three of their scores are 258. If the average of their four scores are 88, then
what is the remaining score?
5. Anne averages 151 in her first 7 games. Her scores in the next 3 games are all the same. If her average over all
games is 148, then what did she get in each of the final three games?
6. There are seven tests each semester. I have scored 68, 96, 76, and 88 on the first four tests.
(a) What is the highest possible mean or median I can earn?
(b) What is the lowest possible mean or median I can earn?
7. In a list of positive integers, all have different values. Their sum is 250. Their average is 50. One of the integers is
100.
(a) What is the greatest integer that can be in the list?
(b) What is highest possible median?
8. What number should be removed from the list (11,13,15,17,19,21,23) so that the average of the remaining numbers is
16?
9. I have four apples whose average weight is 11 pounds. I also have five oranges. The average weight of all 9 of my
fruits are 225 pounds. What is the average weight of my orange?
10. The range of score is from 0 to 100. In a group of five kids, the average score was 78. When a sixth kid joined the
group, the average score became 81.
(a) What was the score of the sixth kid?
(b) If the median score was 81 for the five kids, what is greatest possible median score of six kids?
11. There is a set of five positive integers whose average is 4, whose median is 4, and whose only mode is 6.
(a) What are the numbers in the set?
(b) If 6 is not the only mode what are the numbers in the set?
12. I scored 4, 5, 6, 8, 6, 7 and 5 in seven of my nine total games, where all my scores are fewer than 10. When I include
my eighth game, my average score is an integer. When I include my eighth and ninth game, my average score is still an
integer. What are the scores of the eighth and ninth games?
13.
(a) What is the average or median of the smallest 5 positive integers?
(b) What is the average or median of the smallest 6 positive integers?
(c) What is the average or median of the integers from 26 to 38, including 26 and 38?
(d) What is the average or median of the integers from 27 to 38, including 27 and 38?
14. The average of five numbers is 20. Let the first number be increased by 2, the second number by 4, the third
number by 6, the fourth number by 8, and the fifth number by 10. What is the average of the list of increased numbers?
15. There is a set of six positive integers whose average is 6, whose median is 7, and whose only mode is 8. What is
the largest difference between the largest and smallest integers in the set?
16. The average of five numbers is 28. Let the third number be increased by 5 and the fifth number decreased by 10.
What is the average of the new list of numbers?
17. The average of five numbers is 28. Let one number be increased by 10 and the other numbers be decreased by 5.
What is the average of the new list of numbers?
18. The mean, median of the five integers 6, 7, 8, m, and n are same. Find all possible values of m + n.
19. A medical test for a rare disease has a 98% accuracy rate. However, only 0.5% of the population has the disease. If
someone tests positive, what is the probability that they actually have the disease? (Assume the test gives false
positives 2% of the time and false negatives 2% of the time.)
20. A factory produces 60% of its items from Machine A and 40% from Machine B. Machine A produces defective items
3% of the time, while Machine B produces defective items 5% of the time. If an item is randomly selected and found to
be defective, what is the probability it was produced by Machine A?
