Here are some objective questions and solutions on statistics and plane geometry.

  1. Find the mean of the following set of numbers: 2, 5, 8, 3, 7.

    • a) 2
    • b) 5
    • c) 7
    • d) 8

    Solution:

  1. The mean (or average) of a set of numbers is calculated by summing all the numbers and then dividing by the count of the numbers.

    Sum = 2 + 5 + 8 + 3 + 7
    
  2. Calculate the sum of the numbers.

    Sum = 25
    
  3. Count how many numbers are in the set.

    There are 5 numbers.
    Mean = (Sum of numbers) / (Count of numbers)
    Mean = (25)/(5)

  4. Perform the division.

    Mean = 5
    
    **Answer: b) 5**
    

    2. In a triangle, two of the angles measure 60° and 70°. What is the measure of the third angle? * a) 50° * b) 60° * c) 70° * d) 80°

    Solution:
    
  5. The sum of angles in a triangle is always 180°.

    Let the third angle be x.  
    60° + 70° + x = 180°
    
  6. Add the known angles.

    130° + x = 180°
    
  7. Subtract 130° from both sides to solve for x.

    x = 180° - 130°  
    x = 50°
    
    **Answer: a) 50°**
