    3. A man kept count of the number of letters he received each day over a period of 60 days. The
    results are shown in the table below.
    Number of letters per day 0 1 2 3 4 5
    Frequency 28 21 6 3 1 1

    For this distribution find:


    a the mode b the median c the mean d the range

    5. The distribution of marks obtained by the students in a class is shown in the table below.
    Marks obtained 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
    Number of students 1 0 3 2 2 4 3 4 6 3 2
    Find:
    a the mode b the median c the mean
    d The class teacher is asked to report on her class’s performance and wants to show them
    to be doing as well as possible. Which average should she report and why?

    Solution
    Marks obtained Number of students
    𝑥 𝑓 𝑓𝑥
    0 1 0
    1 0 0
    2 3 6
    3 2 6
    4 2 8

    8 6 48
    9 3 27
    10 2 20
    ∑ 𝑓 = 30 ∑ 𝑓𝑥 = 181

    a 𝑀𝑜𝑑𝑒 = 8
    30 𝑡ℎ
    b 𝑀𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑛 = ( 2 ) 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒
    𝑀𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑛 = 15𝑡ℎ 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒
    𝑀𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑛 = 6
    ∑ 𝑓𝑥
    c 𝑀𝑒𝑎𝑛 = ∑ 𝑓𝑥
    181
    𝑀𝑒𝑎𝑛 = 30
    = 6.03
    d She would use the mode average and say most students got 8 out of 10 marks.
