Averages
The average (mean) as levelling out, moving from the tall bars to the short ones; average = total ÷ number of items; finding and estimating averages from lists and bar charts; using a known average to find the total (average × number of items) or a missing value; how the average changes when a value is added; and word problems such as the score needed to reach a target average.

Sample questions (in Chinese)
Question 1把各棒條「移多補少」,令所有棒條一樣高。每條棒的高度是多少?
Answer and explanation
答案:4
為甚麼?移多補少後,每條棒的高度就是平均數。總數 2 + 4 + 7 + 3 = 16,16 ÷ 4 = 4。
Question 2求下列數據的平均數:
8.3、3.9、6.2、9.6
Answer and explanation
答案:7
為甚麼?平均數 = 總數 ÷ 項數 = (8.3 + 3.9 + 6.2 + 9.6) ÷ 4 = 28 ÷ 4 = 7。
Question 3估計這組數據的平均數,最接近哪一個?
- 45
- 21
- 85
- 74
Answer and explanation
答案:A.45
為甚麼?平均數一定在最大的 64 和最小的 31 之間。想像一條橫線,把高出橫線的部分移去填補低於橫線的部分,大約在 45。計算:225 ÷ 5 = 45。
Question 4根據棒形圖,求 4 個班的圖書數目的平均數。
本
Answer and explanation
答案:60 本
為甚麼?總數 = 30 + 60 + 70 + 80 = 240,平均數 = 240 ÷ 4 = 60 本。
