Data Handling

1. The Ice Cream Challenge


You surveyed your friends to find out their favorite ice cream flavors. Here’s the data:

Flavor Number of Friends


Chocolate 8
Vanilla 5
Strawberry 6
Mint 3

Questions:

a) What is the average number of friends who like each flavor? (Hint: Add all the
numbers and divide by the number of flavors.)

b) Which flavor is the mode? (Hint: Which flavor is the most popular?)

c) If you add a new flavor, ”Butterscotch,” and 7 friends like it, what will be the new
average?

2. The Sports Day Race runner


Here are the race times (in seconds) of 7 students:

12, 15, 14, 12, 16, 11, 13

Questions:

a) Arrange the times in ascending order.

b) What is the median time? (Hint: Find the middle number in the ordered list.)

c) What is the mode of the race times? (Hint: Which time appears most often?)

3. Double Bar Graph


You and your friend collected data on the number of books you read each month for 3
months:

1
Month Your Books Friend’s Books
January 4 6
February 5 7
March 3 5

Tasks:

a) Draw a double bar graph to represent this data. Use one color for your books
and another for your friend’s books.

b) Answer:

• In which month did you read the most books?


• In which month did your friend read fewer books than you?

4. The Pizza Party Problem


You and your friends ordered pizzas for a party. Here’s how many slices each person ate:

2, 3, 4, 2, 5, 3, 2, 4, 3

Questions:

a) What is the mean number of slices eaten per person? (Hint: Add all the slices and
divide by the number of people.)

b) What is the mode of the slices eaten? (Hint: Which number appears most often?)

c) If one friend ate 6 slices instead of 5, how does this change the mean?

5. Create Your Own Problem!


Think of a real-life situation where you can use averages, median, mode, or bar graphs.
Write a problem and solve it. For example:

• How many hours do you spend on homework each day? Calculate the average.

• What’s your favorite fruit? Survey your family and create a bar graph.

The Mystery of the Missing Number


The average of 5 numbers is 10. Four of the numbers are 8, 12, 7, and 13. What is the
missing number? (Hint: Use the formula for the average to find the total sum first.)
