Exam Review- Study Guide

1. 27.53 + 1.09 + 62.78 + 9.87 = ?
2. 849.37 - 26.08 - 3290165 = ?
3. 13.94 x 22 = ?
4. 451.231 ÷ 24.13 = ?
5. 223.8704 ÷ ? = 59.54

Measure of Central Tendency

Measure of central tendency
-is a value that represents the center of a set of data
-can be median, mode, mean

Remember:


-When given a set of data always reorder the digits from least to greatest.

Median
-the middle number in a set of data after the data has been arranged or ordered, only if there is an odd number of items in the dat
a

-if there is an even number of items in the data the sum of the 2 middle numbers in the data set are divided to get the total


eg. 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, -median is 6

1, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10 -median is 7
-----(6+8) ÷ 2 =
7

3, 8, 2, 6, 5, 4, -median is
4.5
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8,
----(4+5) ÷ 2 =
4.5

Mode
-the most frequent occurring number in the set of data

-if you find
no number that repeats most often, then there is no mode.

eg. 3, 5, 7, 7, 9 -mode is
7

2, 2, 4, 6, 6, 8, 11 -mode is
2 and 6


1, 2, 3, 4 -mode; there is no mode



Try this:


Montreal scored the following goals in their last 10 games

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 5, 3, 3, 7, 3


-Find the median and the mode:

1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 7


----------(3+3)
÷ 2
= 3

median-
3
mode-
3

Frequency Table

8, 8, 8, 10, 10, 11, 11, 11, 14, 14

----------(10+11)
÷ 2 = 10.5

median- 10.5


mode- 8, 11


Mean
-a measure of rental tendency

-the sum (adding) of a set of data divided by the number of values in set



eg. 4, 5, 8, 9, 9


- 4+5+8+9+9=35
- 35
÷ 5 =7


Try this- mean, median, mode


a) 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9

mean-7, median-7, mode-7



b) 250, 250 300, 300, 400


mean-300, median-300, mode-250, 300

Review: Solving One Step Algebra Equations

Apply the opposite operation

Remember
-an opposite operation is an operation that "undoes" another operation.
-subtraction and adding are opposites
-division and multiplication are opposites
-whatever you do one side you must do the same to the other side to maintain balance


1st step
- isolate the variable/get the letter by itself
2nd step- apply opposite operation
3rd step- check the answer, substitute the answer for the letter of the original equation

A+5=7
-5 -5
A=2
Check your answer:
A+5=7
2+5=7
7=7

To extend our knowledge, we had equations to solve:

a) b-3=5
- +3 +3
- b=8
Check your answer:
b-3=5
8-3=5
8=8

b) c÷3=7
- x3 x3
- c=21
Check your answer:
c÷3=7
21÷3=7
21=21

c) 4d=16
- ÷4 ÷4
- d=4
Check your answer:
4d=16
4(4)=16
16=16

Solving one-step equations

1. Using inspection, mental math

Eg. a + 4 = 12
8 + 4 = 12
12 = 12

Ask yourself what something + 4 = 12 or 12 - something = 4

Try these:

14 = k + 5
14 = 9 + 5

t - 3 = 11
14 - 3 = 11

10 - y = 8
10 - 2 = 8


2. Model (make a picture) and solve

Eg.


Bill rides 4 km to the bridge then rides to work. In total he rides 11 km. How far from the bridge to work?



4 + y = 11

4 + 7 = 11






3. Apply the opposite operation


Eg. c + 22 = 56
- 22 = -22
c = 34

Check- c + 22= 56
34 + 22 = 56
56 = 56



1st step - Isolate the variable (get the letter by itself)

2nd step - Apply the opposite operation

3rd step - Check your answer. Substitute the answer for the letter of the original equation



Opposite operation - An operation that "undoes" another operation
* subtraction and addition are opposites
* division and multiplication are opposites

Solve by applying the opposite operating - Check your answer:


1. n + 7 = 26
- 7 = -7
n = 19

Check - n + 7 = 26
19 +7 = 26
26 = 26

2. d - 3 = -5
+3 = +3
d = -2



Check - d - 3 = -5
(-2) - 3 = -5
-5 = -5
