In the first term of the year Daniel received five grades in mathematics with each of them being on a scale of 1 to 5, and the most common grade among them was a 5 . In this case it turned out that the median of all his grades was 4, and the arithmetic mean was 3.8. What grades could Daniel have?

A marketing company decided to carry out a sociological survey to find out which part of the urban population learns news mostly from radio programs, which part – from TV programs, which part – from the press, and which – from the Internet. For the study, it was decided to use a sample of 2,000 randomly chosen owners of email addresses. Can this sample be considered representative?

A sailor can only serve on a submarine if their height does not exceed 168 cm. There are four teams \(A\), \(B\), \(C\) and \(D\). All sailors in these teams want to serve on a submarine and have been rigorously selected. There remains the last selection round – for height.

In team \(A\), the average height of sailors is 166 cm.

In team \(B\), the median height of the sailors is 167 cm.

In team \(C\), the tallest sailor has a height of 169 cm.

In team \(D\), the mode of the height of the sailors is 167 cm.

In which team, can at least half of the sailors definitely serve on the submarine?

The length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is 3.

a) The Scattered Scientist calculated the dispersion of the lengths of the sides of this triangle and found that it equals 2. Was he wrong in the calculations?

b) What is the smallest standard deviation of the sides that a rectangular triangle can have? What are the lengths of its sides, adjacent to the right angle?

In a numerical set there is 100 numbers. If you remove one number, the median of the remaining numbers will be 78. If you remove a different number, the median of the remaining numbers is 66. Find the median of the entire set.

In the set \(-5\), \(-4\), \(-3\), \(-2\), \(-1\), \(0\), \(1\), \(2\), \(3\), \(4\), \(5\), replace one number with two other integers so that the set variance and its mean remain unchanged.
