Question

36   29   41   45   15   10   13
Use the numbers in the list above to answer all the following questions.
(a) Write down
(i) two even numbers,

(ii) two prime numbers,

(iii) a square number,

(iv) two factors of 90 .

(b) (i) Calculate the mean of the seven numbers

(ii) Find the median.

(iii) Find the range.

(c) A number from the list is chosen at random.
Find the probability that the number is
(i) even,

(ii) a multiple of 5

Answer/Explanation

(a) (i) 36,10

(ii) 29,41

(iii) 36=\(6^2\)

(iv) 45,10

(b)(i) Mean=\(\frac{Sum of total numbers}{Total number}\)

Mean =\(\frac{36 + 29 + 41 + 45 + 15 + 10 + 13}{7} = \frac{189}{7}\)

=27

(ii) To find the median, we first need to arrange the numbers in order:

10, 13, 15, 29, 36, 41, 45

Since, there are odd number of numbers, so the median is the middle number

Median = 29

(iii)Range= Largest number- Smallest number 

=45 – 10

 = 35

(c) The total number of elements in the list is 7.

(i)  The even numbers in the list are 36, 10.

P(even) = \(\frac{Number of even numbers}{Total number of elements}
= \(\frac{2}{7}\)
Therefore, the probability of choosing an even number at random from the list is approximately 0.286

(ii) The multiples of 5 in the list are: 45, 15, 10.

P(multiple of 5) = \(\frac{Number of multiples of 5}{Total number of elements}\)
\(\frac{3}{7}\)
