1a. The Mean, Median and Mode of all Ages:
The Mean, Median and Mode of all Data from Microsoft Excel
Family
Ages
1 1 3 4 13 14 15 23 28 30 30 33 34 50 69 80 85
Mean 30.1765

Max 85
I. Mean = ∑f / n = (1+1+3+4+13+14++15+23+28+30+30+33+34+50+69++80+85)/17
= 513/17 = 30.1765
Therefore, Mean is 30.1765
II. Median is the middle term of the following
1,1,3,4,13,14,15,23,28,30,30,33,34,50,69,80,85 is 28
III. Mode is 1
IV. Q1 =The median of 1,1,3,4,13,14,15,23 is (4+13)/2 = 8.5
V. Q2 equals to the median which is 30
VI. Q3 = 30,30,33,34,50,69,80,85 is (34+50)/2 = 42
VII. Interquartile Range (IQR) = Q3 - Q1
IQR = 42 – 10.5 = 33.5
VIII. Lower Outlier = Q1 – (1.5 * IQR)
= 8.5 – (1.5 * 33.5)
= 8.5 – 50.25 = - 41.75
Higher Outlier = Q3 + (1.5 * IQR)
= 42 + (1.5 * 33.5)
= 42 + 50.25 = 92.25

2. The Mean, Median and Mode of all Male Data:
Analyze from Microsoft Excel
Male Data 1 1 13 23 28 30 34 69 85
Mean 31.5556
Mode 1
Median 28
Q1 7
Q2 28
Q3 51.5
Min 1
Max 85
I. Mean = ∑f / n = (1+1+13+23+28+30+34+69+85)/9 = 284/9 = 31.5556
Therefore, Mean is 31.5556
II. Median is the middle term of the following 1+1+13+23+28+30+34+69+85 is 28
III. Mode is 0
IV. Q1 =The median of 1,1,13,23is (1+13)/2 = 7
V. Q2 equals to the median which is 28
VI. Q3 = 30,34,69,85 is (34+69)/2 = 51.5
VII. Interquartile Range (IQR) = Q3 - Q1
VIII. IQR = 51.5 – 7 = 44.5
IX. Lower Outlier = Q1 – (1.5 * IQR)
= 7 – (1.5 * 44.5)
= 7 – 66.75 = - 59.75
Higher Outlier = Q3 + (1.5 * IQR)
= 51.5 + (1.5 * 44.5)
= 51.5 + 66.75 = 118.5

3. The Mean, Median and Mode for all Females:
Analyze from Microsoft Excel
Females 3 4 14 15 30 33 50 80
Mean 28.625
Mode 0
Median 22.5
Q1 6.5
Q2 22.5
Q3 45.75
Min 3
Max 80
I. Mean = ∑f / n = (3+4+14+15+30+33+50+80)/8 = 229/8 = 28.625
II. Therefore, Mean is 28.625
III. Median is the middle term of the following 3,4,14,15,30,33,50,80 is (15 + 30)/2 =
22.5
IV. Mode is 0
V. Interquartile Range (IQR) = Q3 - Q1
VI. IQR = 45.75 – 6.5 = 39.25
VII. Lower Outlier = Q1 – (1.5 * IQR)
= 6.5 – (1.5 * 39.25)
= 6.5 – 58.875 = - 52.375
VIII. Higher Outlier = Q3 + (1.5 * IQR)
= 45.75 + (1.5 * 39.25)
= = 45.75 + 58.875 = 104.625

6. Your family plays a money game where the first person chosen win $1, the second
person chosen wins $5, the third person chosen wins $10, and the fourth person chosen
wins $50, since you won the $50 dollar prize during the last game, you are in charge of
the choice this time (so you cannot win), How many different scenarios are possible in
this play of the money game?
Since I cannot win therefore, I cannot win, and there are 17 of us, so then 16
players will have to play the game to win the four prizes.
