The ages of 7 employees are: 25, 32, 28, 45, 32, 38, 41. What is the median age?
Answer: 32
Sorted order: 25, 28, 32, 32, 38, 41, 45 — the 4th (middle) value is 32.
A class of 10 students has scores: 70, 75, 80, 80, 85, 90, 90, 90, 95, 100. What is the mode of these scores?
Answer: 90
90 appears 3 times, more than any other value, so it is the mode.
A sample of 6 values has a mean of 15. Five of the values are 12, 18, 10, 20, and 16. What is the sixth value?
Answer: 14
Required sum = 15 × 6 = 90; sum of five known values = 76; sixth value = 90 − 76 = 14.
A bag contains 5 red marbles, 3 blue marbles, and 2 green marbles. If one marble is drawn at random, what is the probability of drawing a blue marble?
Answer: 0.30
P(blue) = 3 / (5 + 3 + 2) = 3 / 10 = 0.30.
A data set contains the values: 12, 15, 18, 22, 22, 25, 30. What is the interquartile range (IQR)?
Answer: 10
Q1 = 15 and Q3 = 25; IQR = Q3 − Q1 = 25 − 15 = 10.
A histogram shows 30% of data falls below 50, 45% falls between 50 and 75, and 25% falls above 75. If 400 data points are represented, how many fall between 50 and 75?
Answer: 180
45% × 400 = 180 data points fall in the 50–75 interval.
Events A and B are independent with P(A) = 0.4 and P(B) = 0.5. What is the probability that both events occur?
Answer: 0.20
For independent events, P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B) = 0.4 × 0.5 = 0.20.
