Question

Please help answer these!!!!

Jimmy’s family moved to a tropical climate. For the year that followed, he recorded the number of days that had a temperature above 400C each month. His data contained -

14, 14, 10, 12, 11, 13, 11, 11, 14, 10, 13 and 8

1) Find the mean for his data set of days that had a temperature above 400C.

2) Find the median for his data set of days that had a temperature above 400C.

3) Find the mode for his data set of days that had a temperature above 400C.

4) If, instead, there are 5 more days per month that had a temperature above 400C, what will be the mean for the data?

5) If, instead, there are 2 more days per month that had a temperature above 400C, what will be the mode for the data?

Answer 1

1) 11.75

2) 11.5

3) 11 and 14

4) 16.75

5) 13, and 16

Explanation:

The given data is 14, 14, 10, 12, 11, 13, 11, 11, 14, 10, 13, 8

1) The mean,
`\overline x` = (14+14+10+12+11+13+11+11+14+10+13+8)/12 = 11.75

2) The data arranged in increasing order is presented as follows;

8, 10, 10, 11, 11, 11, 12, 13, 13, 14, 14, 14

The count of he data points = 12

The median = The data at the (n + 1)/2 = (12 + 1)/2 = 6.5th position = 11 + (12 11)/2 = 11.5

The median = 11.5

3) The mode of the data set are 11 and 14

4) Where there are 5 more days per month that had a temperature above 40°C, we get;

The mean,
`\overline x_1` = (14+14+10+12+11+13+11+11+14+10+13+8+5×12 )/12 = 16.75 =
`\overline x` + 5

5) Given that there are 2 more days per month that had a temperature above 40°C, we get the days per month with temperatures above 40°C as follows;

8 + 2, 10 + 2, 10 + 2, 11 + 2, 11 + 2, 11 + 2, 12 + 2, 13 + 2, 13 + 2, 14 + 2, 14 + 2, 14 + 2

10, 12, 12, 13, 13, 13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 16, 16

Therefore, the mode are 13, and 16
