1. The heights of varsity basketball players at Mountain View College were measured in inches
and found to be:
74 82 78 72 78 73 78 72 78 81
Find the mean, the median and the mode of the heights.
2. Petroleum pollution in oceans is known to increase the growth of a certain bacteria. Brian did
a project for his ecology class in which he made a bacteria count (per 100 milliliters) in
nine random samples of sea water. His counts gave the following readings: 17 23
18 19 21 16 12 15 18
(a) Find the range.
(b) Find the sample mean.
3. A researcher is comparing two multiple-choice tests with different conditions. In the first test,
a typical multiple-choice test is administered. In the second test, alternative choices (i.e.
incorrect answers) are randomly assigned to test takers. The results from the two tests
are:
Regular Test Randomized Answers
Mean 59.9 44.8
SD 10.2 12.7

3. Two versions of a test are given to students. One test has pre-set answers and a second test has
randomized answers. Compare between the variation.
