Practice questions
Q1The observations recorded by a group are 4, 7, 7, 9, 10, 7 and 12. Which value is the mode?
Mode is the value that occurs most often in a data set. Here 7 appears three times, while the other values appear only once; the sum and a central-looking value answer different questions.
Q2Riya has the marks of 5 students in a short mathematics quiz: 6, 8, 8, 9 and 9. Which calculation gives the mean marks?
Mean is the total of the observations divided by the number of observations, so the five marks must be added and divided by 5. The middle value gives the median, the most repeated value gives the mode, and the difference of extremes does not answer a fair-share question.
Q3In data handling, which sequence matches the usual four verbs used in middle-stage mathematics?
Data handling moves from collecting observations to organising them, representing them, and then interpreting what the display says. The traps break that order or replace it with unrelated actions such as proving, predicting, multiplying, or memorising.
Q4Karan reads a pie chart and says the largest sector must be a majority. What should the teacher ask him to check?
Karan is confusing largest with majority. A sector can be the largest and still be less than half, so the teacher should connect the word majority with more than half of the circle.
Q5A learner draws a neat bar graph but leaves out the scale on the vertical axis. What is the best teacher response?
The teacher should keep the correct graph choice but repair the missing scale. Asha-type mistakes need prompts about one unit, axis labels and frequency reading, not punishment.
