We observe that the value 14 occurs most frequently i.e. 3 times in the given set of the observations.

Mode is 14


13. Find the median of 5, 7, 10, 9, 5, 12, 15, 12, 18, 20. If 9 is replaced by 14, what will be the new median.

Ans. The given observations arranged in ascending order: 5, 5, 7, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20

Here, n = 10 [even number]

So,

When 9 is replaced by 14, we get 5, 5, 7, 10, 12, 12, 14, 15, 18, 20

Now 5th observation = 6th observation = 12

So, New Median =


14. The average mark of boys in an examination is 68 & that of girls in 89. If the average mark of all candidates in that examination is 80, find the ratio of the no. of boys to the number of girls that appeared in the examinations.

Ans. Let number of boys be x & that of girls be 4.

Total marks of boys = = 68x

& Total marks of girls == 89y

Hence total marks for boys & girls = 68x + 89y ----------- (1)

Also, total of boys & girls = x + y & average for all the candidates = 80

Total marks for boys & girls, = 80 (x + y) ------------- (2)

From (1) & (2)

80 (x + y) = 68x + 89y

80x + 80y = 68x – 89y

80x – 68x = 89y – 80y

12x = 9y

Ratio of boys & girls = 3: 4


15. The mean of 6 numbers is 30. If one number is excluded, their mean is 24. Find the excluded number.

Ans. Here, n= 6, () =30

So total of 6 numbers =180

mean of 5 number

Hence, the excluded number is 60

Ans. Number of observation, n=10

Since n is even,




Hence, x =21


17. Find the median of the following data: 25, 34, 31, 23, 22, 26, 35, 28, 20, 32,

Ans. Arranging the data in ascending order, we get

20, 22, 23, 25, 26, 28, 31, 32, 34, 35

Hence, the no. of observation n=10 (even)

= = 27
Hence, median of the given data is 27.

Class size = 31-26 = 5

If a is the class mark of a class interval of size h, then the lower and upper limits of the class intervals are

Here h = 5
Lower limit of first class interval =
and upper limit of first class interval =

30. Thirty children were asked about the number of hours they watched TV programmers in the previous week. The results were found as follows:

(i) Make a grouped frequency distribution table for this data, taking class width 5 and one of the class interval 5 – 10.

(ii) How many children watched television for 15 or more hours a week?

Ans. (i) The minimum and maximum number of hours children watched TV programmers in the previous week are 1 hour and 17 hours, respectively. It is given that 5 – 10 is one of the class intervals and the class size is same. So, the classes of equal size are 0 – 5, 5 – 10, 10 – 15, 15 – 20.

Thus, the frequency distribution table is as under.

(ii) 2 children watched television for 15 or more hours a week.


31. A company manufactures car-batteries of particular type. The live (in years) of 40 such batteries were recorded as follows:

Construct a grouped frequency distribution table for this data, using class intervals of size 0.5 starting from the interval 2 – 2.5.

Ans. The minimum and maximum life in number of years of car batteries are 2.2 years and 4.6 years. It is given that 2 – 2.5 is one of the class interval with uniform size of 0.5. So, the classes of equal size are 2.0 – 2.5, 2.5 – 3.0, 3.0 – 3.5, ……, 4.5 – 5.0.

Thus, the frequency distribution table is as under:

5. The mean of 200 items was 50. Later on, it was discovered that the two items were misread as 92 and 8 instead of 192 and 88. Find the correct mean.

Ans. 50.9


6. Find the value of p, if the mean of following distribution is 20.

Ans. 1


7. Prove that the sum of the deviations of individual’s observations from the mean is zero.

Ans. Let x1, x2, x3, -------, xn be n individual’s observations whose mean is . The sum of the

deviations of these n observations from is given by

Since mean of n observation x1, x2, x3, -------, x is given as

= 0

Hence proved.

(f) Draw histogram of the data.

Ans. (a) Lower limit of the third class =250

(b) Upper limit of the seventh class. = 500

(c) Class boundaries of the sixth class. = 400 – 450

(d) The class mark of the fifth class. = 375

(e) The size of the second class = 50

(f) Histogram


9. Draw a histogram with frequency polygon for the following data:

Ans. Ascertainment of lower and upper class limits: since the difference between the second and first mid-points is 25-29

Let h=1

Then for continuous frequency distribution, we subtract from lower limit and Add to upper limit.


10. The average score of girls in class examination in a school is 67 and that of boys is 63. The average score for the whole class is 64.5 find the percentage of girls and boys in the class.

Ans. Let the number of girls and boys be n1 and n2 respectively.

We have:

Average score of girls =67

Average score of boys =63

Average score of the whole class=64.5

Total number of students in the class

percentage of girls

And percentage of boys,

= 62.5


11. Find the unknown entries (a, b, c, d, e, f) from the following frequency distribution of heights of 50 students in a class.

Ans. Since the given frequency distribution is the frequency distribution of 50 students.

Therefore, g = 50

From the table, we have

a = 12, b + 12 = 25, 12 + b + 10 = c, 12 + b + 10 + d = 43,

12 + b + 10 + d + e = 48 and 12 + b + 10 + d + e + g = f

Now,

b + 12 = 25 b = 13

12 + b + 10 = c

12 + 13 + 10 = c [b = 13]

c = 35

12 + b + 10 + d = 43

12 + 13 + 10 + d = 43 [b = 13]

d = 8

12 + b + 10 + d + e = 48

12 + 13 + 10 + 8 + e = 48 [b=13, d= 8]

e = 5

and 12 + b + 10 + d + e + 2 = f

12 + 13 + 10 + 8 + 5 + 2 = f

and f = 50

Hence, a = 12,
b = 13,
c = 35,
d = 8,
e = 5,
f = 50
