1. A. Tick the correct option.

(a) If the mean of 7,4,x and 10 is 8, find the value of x-

(i) 13

(ii) 11

(iii) 12

(iv) 9

Answer 11

Mean=7+4+x+1048=21+x421+x=32x=3221x=11

(b) The observation that occurs maximum number of times in a data is called-

(i) range

(ii) median

(iii) mode

(iv) mean

Answer mode

(c) The heights (in cm) of six students in a class are 145,152,148,150,153,146. The median of the height is-

(i) 149cm

(ii) 151cm

(iii) 148cm

(iv) 150cm

Answer 149cm

Ascending order=145,146,148,150,152,153No of data=6(even)Median=Mean of two middle most data=148+1502=2982Median=149cm

(d) The mean weight of five students is 51 kg and the mean weight of four students is 54 kg. The mean weight of nine students will be-

(i) less than 52 kg

(ii) more than 53 kg

(iii) between 52 kg and 53 kg

(iv) equal to 51 kg

Answer between 52 kg and 53 kg

Mean weight of 5 students=51kgSum of weight of 5 students=51×5=255kgMean weight of 4 students=54kgSum of weight of 4 students=54×4=216kgTotal weight of 9 students=255+216=471kgMean=4719Mean weight of 9 students=52.3kg

(e) The mean of first ten odd numbers is -

(i) 10

(ii) 13

(iii)15

(iv) 9

Answer 10

Mean=1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17+1910=10010Mean=10

B. Answer the following questions.

(a) Calculate the mode of 1.6,1.3,1.8,1.6,1.3,1.1,1.2,1.3

Ascending order=1.1,1.2,1.3,1.3,1.3,1.6,1.6,1.8Mode=1.3

Answer Mode=1.3

(b) Name the three measures of central tendency.

Answer Mean,Median,Mode

(c) Find the mean of prime numbers between 70 and 10.

Prime numbers between 70 and 10=71,73,79,83,89,97Mean=71+73+79+83+89+976=4926Mean=82

Answer Mean=82

(d) What is the median of the observations 36, 48, 29, 62, 71 and 84?

Ascending order=29,36,48,62,71,84Number of observations=6(even)Median=Mean of two middle most data=48+622=1102Median=55

Answer Median=55

(e) The mean of 16 numbers is 8. If 2 is added to every number, find the new mean.

Mean of 16 numbers=8Sum of 16 numbers=8×16=128Adding 2 of every number=2×16=32New Sum=128+32=160New mean=16016New mean=10

Answer NewMean=10

2. Find the mean, median, and mode of the given data: 35, 32, 35, 42, 35, 32, 34.

Solution

Mean=Sum of all observationsNumber of observations=35+32+35+42+35+32+347=2457Mean=35

Ascending order=32,32,34,35,35,35,42Number of observations=7 (odd)Median=(n+12)th observation=(7+12)th observation=4th observationMedian=35

Mode=Most frequently occurring observationObservations: 32,32,34,35,35,35,42Mode=35

Answer Mean=35,Median=35,Mode=35

3. The mean of 40 observations was 160. It was detected on rechecking that the value 165 was wrongly copied as 125 for computation of mean. Find the correct mean.

Solution

Mean of 40 observations=160Sum of 40 observations=160×40=6400Correct sum of observations=6400+165125=6400+40=6440Correct mean=644040=161

Answer Correct Mean =161

4. The mean of 10 numbers is 20. If 5 is subtracted from every number, what will be the new mean?

Solution

No. of observations=10Mean of 10 numbers=20Sum of 10 numbers=20×10=200Subtracting 5 from each number=5×(No. of observations)=5×10=50New Sum=20050=150New mean=15010=15

Answer New Mean =15

5. Find the median of the following observations: 46, 64, 87, 41, 58, 77, 35, 90, 55, 92, 33. If 92 is replaced by 99 and 41 by 43 in the above data, find the new median.

Solution

Ascending order:33,35,41,46,55,58,64,77,87,90,92Number of observations: 11 (odd)Median=Middle most observationMedian=58Ascending order after replacing the data:33,35,43,46,55,58,64,77,87,90,99Median=Middle most observationNew Median=58

Answer New Median =58

6. Find the mode of 214,3.5,4.1,312,212,0.5

Solution

Convert mixed fractions to decimals=2.25,3.5,4.1,3.5,2.5,0.5Ascending order=0.5,2.25,2.5,3.5,3.5,4.1Mode=Most frequently occurring observationMode=3.5

Answer Mode =3.5
