Pie chart shows favourite fruit: Apple 50%, Banana 25%, Orange 25%. If 40 pupils, how many like APPLES?
- 20
- 10
- 40
- 5
Answer: 20. 50% of 40 = 20.
GuruMulti-step reasoning.
Why does adding 10 to every value in a data set change the MEAN but not the RANGE?
- Mean depends on each value (so it increases by 10). Range depends only on the GAP between max and min (which is unchanged).
- Coincidence.
- Convention.
- Mean uses different maths.
Answer: Mean depends on each value (so it increases by 10). Range depends only on the GAP between max and min (which is unchanged).. Range = max−min; shift cancels.
