1.

Choose an example of calculating the mode?

a)

b)

c)

d)

2.

What is the mode in mathematics?

a)

The mode in mathematics is the average of all numbers in a set.

b)

The mode in mathematics is the number that is the smallest in a set of numbers.

c)

The mode in mathematics is the number that appears most frequently in a set of numbers.

d)

The mode in mathematics is the number that is the largest in a set of numbers.

3.

What is the median in mathematics?

a)

The median in mathematics is the middle value of a set of numbers when they are arranged in order. If there is an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.

b)

The median is the average of the first and last values in a set of numbers

c)

The median is the highest value in a set of numbers

d)

The median is the sum of all values in a set of numbers

4.

Share a scenario where finding the median would be useful.

a)

Determining the range of a set of numbers

b)

Calculating the mode of a dataset

c)

Calculating the median price of houses for a better idea of the “typical” home price, since the median is less influenced by outliers (like multi-million dollar homes) compared to the mean.

d)

Finding the mean of a sample

5.

What is the mean in mathematics?

a)

The mean is the mode of a set of numbers.

b)

The mean is the average of a set of numbers. Adding all the data values, getting a total and dividing by how many data values were added.

c)

The mean is the highest number in a set of numbers.

d)

The mean is the lowest number in a set of numbers.

6.

What is the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) in mathematics?

a)

MAD is used to determine the range of a data set

b)

MAD is a measure of central tendency in a set of data

c)

MAD is a measure of variability in a set of data, calculated by taking the mean of the absolute deviations of each data point from the mean of the data set.

d)

MAD is calculated by taking the median of the absolute deviations

7.

Choose a scenario where determining the range would be useful.

a)

Calculating the volume of a sphere

b)

Calculating car travel distance.

c)

Determining the color of a shirt

d)

Predicting the weather forecast

8.

Choose an example of calculating the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD)?

a)

b)

c)

d)

9.

Choose an example of calculating the mean?

a)

b)

c)

d)

10.

Share a scenario where calculating the mean would be useful.

a)

Human Resource managers often calculate the mean salary of individuals in a certain field so that they can know what type of “average” salary to offer to new employees.

b)

Calculating the mean is primarily used for qualitative data analysis.

c)

Calculating the mean is useful for identifying outliers in a dataset.

d)

Calculating the mean helps in determining the maximum value in a dataset.

11.

Choose an example of calculating the range?

a)

b)

c)

d)

12.

What is the range in mathematics?

a)

The range is the sum of all values in a dataset or function's output.

b)

The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a dataset or function's output.

c)

The range is the mode of all values in a dataset or function's output.

d)

The range is the average of all values in a dataset or function's output.

13.

Share a scenario where identifying the mode would be useful.

a)

Analyzing survey data to find the most common response

b)

Finding the mode of colors in a painting

c)

Identifying the mode in a cooking recipe

d)

Determining the mode of transportation used in a movie
