Dorado, Venus Module 3

The document contains a multiple choice test on statistics concepts and two word problems asking to calculate measures of central tendency, variability, and shape for sets of student score data. For the first problem, the student correctly calculates the mean, median, mode, range, variance and standard deviation of the ungrouped data as 37.3, 35, 30, 34 and 44 (multimodal), 15, 36.68, and 6.06 respectively. For the second problem involving grouped data, the student again correctly calculates all the requested measures, finding the mean to be 35.83, median 33.25, and mode 33.39.

4. A survey of local companies found that the mean amount of commission for sales agents was
₱10,600. The standard deviation was ₱720. Using Chebyshev's theorem, find the minimum
percentage of the data values that will fall between ₱9,340 and ₱11,860.
Solution:
Given: Mean = ₱10,600 Standard Deviation = ₱720 Find: Minimum Percentage = 67%

₱11,860 – ₱10,600 = ₱1,260
