Q:

Of the following, which is greater than ½ ?

Indicate ALL such fractions.

A) 2/5 B) 4/7
C) 4/9 D) 5/11

Answer:   B) 4/7



Explanation:

One way to deal with fractions is to convert them all to decimals. 

In this case all you would need to do is to see which is greater than 0.5.

Otherwise to see which is greater than ½, double the numerator and see if the result is greater than the denominator. In B doubling the numerator gives us 8, which is bigger than 7.

Q:

Consider the following frequency distribution:

x     f

8     6

5     4

6     5

10    8

9     9

4     6

7     4

What is the median for the distribution?

A) 6 B) 7
C) 8 D) 9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 8

Explanation:
Summation of frequencies = 6+4+5+8+9+6+4 = 42
Median = mid value = average of 21st and 22nd value
Arranging data in increasing order we get

x     f

4     6

5     4

6     5

7     4

8     6

9     9

10    8

 
So mid value i.e 21st and 22nd value = 8

Consider the following grouped frequency distribution:

  x           f

0-10       8

10-20     12

20-30     10

30-40      p

40-50      9

 

If the mean of the above data is 25.2, then what is the value of p?

 

A) 9 B) 10
C) 11 D) 12
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 11

Explanation:
Mean = (sum of fixi/ (sum of f) = (8*5 + 12*15 + 10*25 + P*35 +9*45) / (8+12+10+P+9) = 25.2
(875 + 35P)/(39+P) = 25.2
P = 11
