14, 14, 10, 12, 11, 13, 11, 11, 14, 10, 13 and 8

1) Find the mean for his data set of days that had a temperature above 40 degrees C.

2) Find the median for his data set of days that had a temperature above 40 degrees C.

3) Find the mode for his data set of days that had a temperature above 40 degrees C.

4) If, instead, there are 5 more days per month that had a temperature above 40 degrees C, what will be the mean for the data?

5) If, instead, there are 2 more days per month that had a temperature above 40 degrees C, what will be the mode for the data?

6) If the number of days per month that had a temperature above 40 degrees C, doubles each month in that year, what will be the median for the data?

7) For what value of x will 9, 16, and x have the same mean (average) as that of 26 and 12?

8) For what value of x will 55 and x have the mean (average) as 67?

9) The mean (average) weight of three boys is 40 pounds. One of the boys weighs 50 pounds. The other two boys have the same weight. Find the weight of each of the boys?

10) A cat consumes 2 cups of milk every day. How much milk does that cat drink on an average in a week?
