Here are the solutions to your questions: 21. Data is information that has been put into number or figure. The correct option is B. data. 22. The numbers 12, 22, 3, 3, 42, 22, 22, 22, 4, 4, 3 when arranged in descending order is: Step 1: List the numbers: 12, 22, 3, 3, 42, 22, 22, 22, 4, 4, 3. Step 2: Arrange them from largest to smallest. 42, 22, 22, 22, 22, 12, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3 The correct option is D. 42,22,22,12,22,22,4,3,3,3. Self-correction: Option (c) is 42,22,22,22,22,12,4,3,3,3. Option (d) is 42,22,22,12,22,22,4,3,3,3. There are five 22s in the original list. Let's re-count: 12 (1), 22 (4), 3 (3), 42 (1), 4 (2). Total 11 numbers. Original numbers: 12, 22, 3, 3, 42, 22, 22, 22, 4, 4, 3. Count of each number: 3: 3 times 4: 2 times 12: 1 time 22: 4 times 42: 1 time Total numbers: 3+2+1+4+1 = 11. Arranged in descending order: 42, 22, 22, 22, 22, 12, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3. Let's check the options again: (a) 3,3,3,4,12,22,22,22,22,42 (Ascending, and 42 is at the end) (b) 4,4,3,3,12,22,22,22,22,42 (Not fully descending, 42 is at the end) (c) 42,22,22,22,22,12,4,3,3,3 (This matches my sorted list) (d) 42,22,22,12,22,22,4,3,3,3 (This has 12 before two 22s, which is incorrect for descending order) So, option (c) is the correct one.* The correct option is C. 42,22,22,22,22,12,4,3,3,3. 23. Median is the middle number or average of two middle numbers when a raw data has been arranged. The correct option is C. median. 24. The scores of 10 students in a mathematics test are 7,5,6,4,4,3,5,3,4. What is the mean value? Note: There are 9 scores listed, not 10. We will calculate the mean based on the 9 scores provided.* Step 1: Sum the scores. 7 + 5 + 6 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 5 + 3 + 4 = 41 Step 2: Divide the sum by the number of scores (9). Mean = (41)/(9) ≈ 4.555... Self-correction: Let's re-read the question carefully. "The scores of 10 students... are 7,5,6,4,4,3,5,3,4." This is a common type of error in questions where the count given in text doesn't match the actual list. Given the options, it's possible there's a missing score or a typo in the options. If we assume the question meant 9 students, the mean is 4.56. None of the options are 4.56. Let's check if any option could be correct if one more score was added to make it 10 scores.* If the mean was 4.0 (option b), the sum would be 4.0 × 10 = 40. The current sum is 41. This means if there were 10 scores and the mean was 4.0, the sum should be 40. This implies one of the scores listed might be incorrect or a score is missing.* Let's re-sum the given 9 scores: 7+5+6+4+4+3+5+3+4 = 41.* If the question intended for 10 scores and the mean was 4.0, the sum should be 40. This would mean one of the scores was 1 less than listed, or a score of -1 was added, which is unlikely.* Let's consider the possibility that the question meant to list 10 scores, and one is missing. If the mean is 4.0, the total sum for 10 scores would be 4.0 × 10 = 40. Since the sum of the 9 given scores is 41, this would imply the 10th score would have to be 40 - 41 = -1, which is impossible for a test score.* Let's re-evaluate the options and the sum. If the mean is 4.3 (option c), then for 10 students, the sum would be 4.3 × 10 = 43. If the sum of 9 scores is 41, then the 10th score would be 43 - 41 = 2. This is a plausible score.* Let's assume the question implies there are 10 scores, and the listed scores are 9 of them, with one missing. If the mean is 4.3, the total sum for 10 scores is 43. The sum of the 9 given scores is 41. So, the 10th score would be 43 - 41 = 2. This makes option (c) a possible answer if a score of 2 was omitted.* Given the options, and the common practice in multiple-choice questions to have a correct answer among the options, it's most likely that the mean is intended to be 4.3, implying a missing score of 2 to make the total 10 scores with a sum of 43.* Step 1: Assume there are 10 scores and the mean is 4.3 (from option c). Total sum for 10 students = Mean × Number of students = 4.3 × 10 = 43 Step 2: Sum the 9 given scores. 7 + 5 + 6 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 5 + 3 + 4 = 41 Step 3: Find the missing 10th score. Missing score = 43 - 41 = 2 Since a score of 2 is plausible, we select option (c). The mean value is C. 4.3. 25. A polygon is a plane shape bounded by 3 or more straight edges. The correct option is C. polygon. That's 2 down. 3 left today — send the next one.
