Exercise 3.2

Question 1.

Obtain the mean number of bags sold by a shopkeeper on 6 consecutive days from the following table

Answer:

The data given here is raw data of the number of bags sold in their respective days.

Mean of such data is given by

Where, ∑x = Sum of all observations

& n = Total number of observations

So,

⇒ 

Thus, mean number of bags sold by the shopkeeper on the given days is 28.67.

Question 2.

The number of children in 10 families in a locality are 2,4,3,4,1,6,4,5,x,5 find x if the mean number o children in a family is 4

Answer:

Given is the data of children present in 10 families in a locality.

Mean of number of children in a family = 4

Mean is given by

Where ∑x = Sum of all observations

& n = Total number of observations.

Here, n = 10

So, 

⇒ 

⇒ 34 + x = 4 × 10

⇒ 34 + x = 40

⇒ x = 40 – 34

⇒ x = 6

Thus, x = 6.

Question 3.

The mean of 20 number is 59. If 3 is added to each number what will be the new mean?

Answer:

Given that, mean of 20 numbers = 59

Mean can be given by

Where, ∑x = Sum of all observations

& n = Total number of observations

Here, Mean = 59 and n = 20.

So, 

⇒ 

⇒ ∑x = 59 × 20

⇒ ∑x = 1180

We have sum of all observations = 1180

If 3 is added to each of the 20 numbers, then new sum of all observations = 1180 + (20 × 3)

⇒ New sum of all observations = 1180 + 60 = 1240

Now, we have fresh data: ∑x’ = 1240, n = 20

⇒ New mean = 62

Thus, new mean of the observation is 62.

Question 4.

The mean of 15 numbers is 44. If 7 is subtracted from each number what will be the new mean?

Answer:

Given that, mean of 15 numbers = 44

Mean can be given by

Where, ∑x = Sum of all observations

& n = Total number of observations

Here, Mean = 44 and n = 15.

So, 

⇒ 

⇒ ∑x = 44 × 15

⇒ ∑x = 660

We have sum of all observations = 660

If 7 is subtracted from each of the 15 numbers, then the new sum of all observations = 660 – (15 × 7)

⇒ New sum of all observations = 660 – 105 = 555

Now, we have fresh data: ∑x’ = 555, n = 15

⇒ New mean = 37

Thus, new mean of the observation is 37.

Question 5.

The mean of 12 numbers is 48. If each numbers is multiplied by 4 what will be the new mean.

Answer:

Given that, mean of 12 numbers = 48

Mean can be given by

Where, ∑x = Sum of all observations

& n = Total number of observations

Here, Mean = 48 and n = 12.

So, 

⇒ 

⇒ ∑x = 48 × 12

⇒ ∑x = 576

We have sum of all observations = 576

If 4 is multiplied by each of the 12 numbers, then the new sum of all observations = 576 × 4

⇒ New sum of all observations = 2304

Now, we have fresh data: ∑x’ = 2304, n = 12

⇒ New mean = 192

Thus, new mean of the observation is 192.

Question 6.

The mean of 16 numbers is 54. If each number is divided by 9 what will be the new mean.

Answer:

Given that, mean of 16 numbers = 54

Mean can be given by

Where, ∑x = Sum of all observations

& n = Total number of observations

Here, Mean = 54 and n = 16.

So, 

⇒ 

⇒ ∑x = 54 × 16

⇒ ∑x = 864

We have sum of all observations = 864

If 9 is divided from each of the 16 numbers, then the new sum of all observations = 864 ÷ 9

⇒ New sum of all observations = 96

Now, we have fresh data: ∑x’ = 96, n = 16

⇒ New mean = 6

Thus, new mean of the observation is 6.

Question 7.

The mean weight of 6 boys in a group is 48kg. The individual weights o 5 of them are 50kg, 45kg, 50kg, 42kg and 40kg. Find the weight of the sixth boy.

Answer:

Given is that, mean weight of 6 boys = 48 kg

Mean is given by,

Where, ∑x = sum of all observations

& n = total number of observations

Here, n = 6 and mean = 48.

Let the weight of 6^th boy be x.

So, 

⇒ 

⇒ 227 + x = 48 × 6

⇒ 227 + x = 288

⇒ x = 288 – 227

⇒ x = 61

Thus, weight of the sixth boy is 61 kg.

Question 8.

Using assumed mean method find the mean weight of 40 students Using the data given below.

Answer:

In assumed-mean method, we need to assume a mean value (the near to middle or middlemost value) from x_i’s.

We have the following table.

In assumed mean method, arithmetic mean is given by

Where, A = assumed mean = 53

∑f_id_i = -17

& ∑f_i = 40

Putting all these value in the formula, we get

⇒ 

⇒ 

Thus, mean weight of 40 students is 52.575 kg.

Question 9.

The arithmetic mean of a group of 75 observations was calculated as 27. It was later found that one observation was wrongly read as 43 instead of the correct value 53. Obtain the correct arithmetic mean of the data.

Answer:

Given that, the total number of observations = 75

Mean of 75 observations = 27

Mean is given by,

⇒ Sum of all observation = Mean × Total number of observations

⇒ Sum of all observation = 27 × 75 = 2025

Now, according to the question, one of the value in the observation was wrongly taken as 43 instead of 53.

So, in order to obtain the new mean, we need to subtract 43 from the sum of observations and add the correct value, 53 to it.

⇒ 

⇒ 

Thus, the new mean = 27.13

Question 10.

Mean of 100 observations is found to be 40. At the time of computation two items were wrongly taken as 30 and 27 instead of 3 and 72. Find the correct mean.

Answer:

Given that, the total number of observations = 100

Mean of 100 observations = 40

Mean is given by,

⇒ Sum of all observation = Mean × Total number of observations

⇒ Sum of all observation = 40 × 100 = 4000

Now, according to the question, two items in the observation were wrongly taken as 30 and 27 instead of 3 and 72.

So, in order to obtain the new mean, we need to subtract 30 and 27 from the sum of observations and add the correct values, 3 and 72 to it.

⇒ 

⇒ 

Thus, the new mean = 40.18

Question 11.

The data on number of patients attending a hospital in a month are given below. Find the average number of patients attending the hospital in a day.

Answer:

We can make the following table for ease of calculation:

Mean is given by

⇒ 

⇒ Mean = 28.67

Thus, the average number of patients attending the hospital are 28.67.

Question 12.

Calculate the arithmetic mean for the following data Using step deviation method.

Answer:

In step deviation method, we divide deviation by the width of the class intervals in order to simplify the calculation.

Here, we shall assume a mean from the given x_i’s. Let the assumed mean (A) be 35.

Also, 

Where, A = assumed mean = (here) 35

& c = width of the class intervals = (here) 10

Construct the following table:

Using these values, we can find the arithmetic mean of the following data.

Arithmetic mean is given by

⇒ 

⇒ Mean = 35 – 7

⇒ Mean = 28

Thus, arithmetic mean of the following data is 28.

Question 13.

In a study on patients, the following data were obtained. Find the arithmetic mean.

Answer:

Let’s convert the inclusive type of data into exclusive type. We can do this by subtracting 0.5 from each lower limits of the class intervals and by adding 0.5 to each upper limits of the class interval.

Using direct method, we can find arithmetic mean of the data.

Let’s make the following table for ease of calculation:

Mean is given by

⇒ 

⇒ Mean = 48.1

Thus, the arithmetic mean of the data is 48.1.

Question 14.

The total marks obtained by 40 students in the Annual examination are given below



Using step deviation method to find the mean of the above data.

Answer:

In step deviation method, we divide deviation by the width of the class intervals in order to simplify the calculation.

Here, we shall assume a mean from the given x_i’s. Let the assumed mean (A) be 325.

Also, 

Where, A = assumed mean = (here) 325

& c = width of the class intervals = (here) 50

Construct the following table:

Using these values, we can find the arithmetic mean of the following data.

Arithmetic mean is given by

⇒ 

⇒ 

⇒ Mean = 326.25

Thus, arithmetic mean of the following data is 326.25.

Question 15.

Computer the arithmetic of the following distribution.

Answer:

Let’s convert the inclusive type of data into exclusive type. We can do this by subtracting 0.5 from each lower limits of the class intervals and by adding 0.5 to each upper limits of the class interval.

(i) 18,12,51,32,106,92,58

(ii) 28,7,15,3,14,18,46,59,1,2,9,21

Answer:

(i). Let us arrange the numbers in ascending order. (Without arranging the values in ascending/descending order, we will not be able to get the correct median) We have,

12, 18, 32, 51, 58, 92 ,106 …(1)

Total number of items, n = 7 (odd number).

When n is odd, median is given by

⇒ 

⇒ 

⇒ Median = 4^th term

Count 4^th term from the arranged numbers in (1).

The 4^th term = 51

⇒ Median = 51 [∵ Median = 4^th term]

Thus, median is 51.

(ii). Let us arrange the numbers in ascending order. (Without arranging the values in ascending/descending order, we will not be able to get the correct median) We have,

1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 14, 15, 18, 21, 28, 46, 59 …(1)

Total number of items, n = 12 (even number).

When n is even, median is given by

⇒ 

⇒ Median = mean of 6^th and 7^th term

Count 6^th and 7^th term from the arranged numbers in (1).

The 6^th term = 14

& 7^th term = 15

⇒ Median = mean of 14 and 15 …(2)

Mean of 14 and 15 is calculated as,

⇒ 

Put mean of 14 and 15, 14.5 in equation (2),

Median = 14.5

Thus, median is 14.5.

Question 2.

Find the median for the following frequency table.

Answer:

Since, we have ungrouped data, we need to sort the data in ascending order to find median of the data.

Let us formulate a table for easy and simple calculations.

Total number of items, n = 20 (even)

When n = even, position of median is given by

⇒ 

⇒ 

Note that, from the cumulative frequency column: 10^th value = 15 & 11^th value = 19

Then, 

⇒ 

⇒ Median = 17

Thus, median is 17.

Question 3.

Answer:

This is a grouped frequency distribution, in which median is calculated as follows.

We have the following table:

Here, we get total frequency, N = 30. So,

Since, N/2 = 15. Mark a cumulative frequency which is just greater than 15.

Here, it is 17. So, median class would be 15 – 20.

Median is given by

Where, l = lower limit of the median class = 15

N/2 = 15 (as calculated above)

m = cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class = 7

f = frequency of the median class = 10

We have the following table:

Here, we get total frequency, N = 50. So,

Since, N/2 = 25. Mark a cumulative frequency which is just greater than 25.

Here, it is 31. So, median class would be 29.5 – 39.5.

Median is given by

Where, l = lower limit of the median class = 29.5

N/2 = 25 (as calculated above)

m = cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class = 20

f = frequency of the median class = 11

c = width of the median class = 10

Putting all these values in the formula, we get

⇒ 

⇒ Median = 29.5 + 4.55 = 34.05

Thus, median is 34.05.

Question 5.

Calculate the median for the following data

Answer:

This is a grouped frequency distribution, in which median is calculated as follows.

First, we need to convert this inclusive type of data values into exclusive type. For this, subtract 0.5 from lower limits of each class and add 0.5 to upper limits of each class interval.

We have the following table:

Here, we get total frequency, N = 80. So,

Since, N/2 = 40. Mark a cumulative frequency which is just greater than 40.

Here, it is 44. So, median class would be 10.5 – 15.5.

Median is given by

Where, l = lower limit of the median class = 10.5

N/2 = 40 (as calculated above)

m = cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class = 19

f = frequency of the median class = 25

c = width of the median class = 5

Putting all these values in the formula, we get

⇒ 

⇒ Median = 10.5 + 4.2 = 14.7

Thus, median is 14.7.

Answer:

This is a grouped frequency distribution, in which median is calculated as follows.

We have the following table:

Here, we get total frequency, N = 800. So,

Since, N/2 = 400. Mark a cumulative frequency which is just greater than 400.

Here, it is 550. So, median class would be 40 – 45.

Median is given by

Where, l = lower limit of the median class = 40

N/2 = 400 (as calculated above)

m = cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class = 400

f = frequency of the median class = 150

c = width of the median class = 5

Putting all these values in the formula, we get

⇒ 

⇒ Median = 40 + 0 = 40

Thus, median is 40.

Exercise 3.4

Question 1.

The marks obtained by 15 students of a class are given below. Find the modal marks 42,45,47,49,52,65,65,71,71,72,75,82,72,47 ,72

Answer:

Mode is the number which has highest frequency, that is, largest occurrence.

For ease of observation, we can arrange the data in ascending order. We have,

42, 45, 47, 47, 49, 52, 65, 65, 71, 71, 72, 72, 72, 75, 82

This can be arranged in a tabular form showing frequencies of marks:

The highest frequency is 3, and its corresponding mark is 72.

Thus, modal mark is 72.

Question 2.

Calculate the mode of the following data.

Answer:

Mode is nothing but a number with highest frequency. Interpret the column ‘No. of pairs sold’ in the terms of frequency.

The highest frequency is 21, and its corresponding size of shoe is 7.

Thus, mode of the following data is 7.

Question 3.

The age (in years )of 150 patients getting medical treatment in a hospital in a month are given below. Obtain its mode.

Answer:

This is a grouped frequency distribution. To find mode of this type of data, we can interpret the column ‘No. of patients’ as frequency.

Note that, highest frequency = 50.

Corresponding class interval = 40 – 50

⇒ Modal class = 40 – 50

Mode is given by,

Where, l = lower limit of the modal class = 40

f = frequency of the modal class = 50

f₁ = frequency of the class preceding the modal class = 36

f₂ = frequency of the class succeeding the modal class = 20

c = width of the class interval = 10

Putting all these values in the modal formula,

⇒ 

⇒ 

⇒ 

⇒ Mode = 43.18

Thus, the mode is 43.18.

Question 4.

For the following data obtain the mode.

Answer:

This is a grouped frequency distribution and an inclusive type of data.

To find mode of this type of data, we must convert this inclusive type of data into exclusive type. For exclusive type data, we need to subtract 0.5 from lower limits of each class interval and add 0.5 to upper limits of each class intervals.

Also, we can interpret the column ‘No. of students’ as frequency.

Note that, highest frequency = 20

Corresponding class interval = 40.5 – 45.5

⇒ Modal class = 40.5 – 45.5

Mode is given by,

Where, l = lower limit of the modal class = 40.5

f = frequency of the modal class = 20

f₁ = frequency of the class preceding the modal class = 18

f₂ = frequency of the class succeeding the modal class = 14

c = width of the class interval = 5

Putting all these values in the modal formula,

⇒ 

⇒ 

⇒ Mode = 40.5 + 1.25

⇒ Mode = 41.75

Thus, the mode is 41.75.

Question 5.

Thus, mean of the data is 14.

For Median:

We need to arrange the raw data in ascending order. We have,

13, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14, 15, 15, 15, 15

Total number of items, n = 10 (even)

When n is even, then median is given by

 …(i)

Calculate (n/2)^th position.

⇒ 

⇒ 

[∵ from the arranged data, 5^th term = 14] …(ii)

Now, calculate (n/2 + 1)^th position.

⇒ 

⇒ 

[∵ from the arranged data, 6^th term = 14] …(iii)

Putting (ii) and (iii) in equation (i), we get

Median = Mean of 14 and 14

⇒ 

⇒ 

⇒ Median = 14

Thus, median is 14.

For Mode:

We need to arrange the raw data in ascending order for ease of observation. We have,

13, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14, 15, 15, 15, 15

From observing from the arranged data, note that

13 → 4 times

14 → 2 times

15 → 4 times

Representing it in tabular form,

Highest frequency = 4

And the corresponding data are 13 and 15.

This is a bimodal distribution, because it has two modes.

Thus, modes are 13 and 15.

Question 6.

The following table gives the numbers of branches and number plants in a garden of a school.



Calculate the mean, median and mode of the above data.

Answer:

We have

For Mean:

Mean is given by

⇒  [from the table]

⇒ Mean = 4.05

For Median:

Total number of items, n = 5 (odd number).

When n is odd, median is given by

⇒ 

⇒ 

⇒ Median = 3^rd term

Count 3^rd term from the arranged numbers in the table.

The 3^rd term = 4

⇒ Median = 4 [∵ Median = 3^rd term]

For Mode:

Mode is nothing but a number with highest frequency. Interpret the column ‘No. of plants’ in the terms of frequency.

Here, highest frequency is 28. Then, corresponding no. of branches are 4.

⇒ Mode = 4

Thus, mean is 4.05, median is 4 and mode is 4.

Question 7.

The following table shows the age distribution of cases of certain disease reported during a year in a particular city.



Obtain the mean, median and mode of the above data.

Answer:

We have

For Mean:

Mean is given by

⇒  [from the table]

⇒ Mean = 32.1

For Median:

Here, we get total frequency, ∑f_i = N = 50. So,

Since, N/2 = 25. Mark a cumulative frequency which is just greater than 25.

Here, it is 29. So, median class would be 24.5 – 34.5.

Median is given by

Where, l = lower limit of the median class = 24.5

N/2 = 25 (as calculated above)

m = cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class = 17

f = frequency of the median class = 12

c = width of the median class = 10

Putting all these values in the formula, we get

⇒ 

⇒ Median = 24.5 + 6.67 = 31.167

For Mode:

We have the following data in exclusive type in tabular form. We can interpret the column ‘No. of cases’ as frequency.

Note that, highest frequency = 12

Corresponding class interval = 24.5 – 34.5

⇒ Modal class = 24.5 – 34.5

Mode is given by,

Where, l = lower limit of the modal class = 24.5

f = frequency of the modal class = 12

f₁ = frequency of the class preceding the modal class = 11

f₂ = frequency of the class succeeding the modal class = 10

c = width of the class interval = 10

Putting all these values in the modal formula,

⇒ 

⇒ 

⇒ Mode = 24.5 + 3.33

⇒ Mode = 27.83

Thus, mean is 32.1, median is 32.167 and mode is 27.83.

Question 8.

Find the mean, mode and median of marks obtained by 20 students in an examination.

The marks are given below.

Answer:

We have

For Mean:

Mean is given by

⇒  [from the table]

⇒ Mean = 28

For Median:

Here, we get total frequency, ∑f_i = N = 20. So,

Since, N/2 = 10. Mark a cumulative frequency which is just greater than 10.

Here, it is 18. So, median class would be 30 – 40.

Median is given by

Where, l = lower limit of the median class = 30

N/2 = 10 (as calculated above)

m = cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class = 10

f = frequency of the median class = 8

c = width of the median class = 10

Putting all these values in the formula, we get

⇒ 

⇒ Median = 30 + 0 = 30

For Mode:

We have the following data in exclusive type in tabular form. We can interpret the column ‘No. of students’ as frequency.

Note that, highest frequency = 8

Corresponding class interval = 30 – 40

⇒ Modal class = 30 – 40

Mode is given by,

Where, l = lower limit of the modal class = 30

f = frequency of the modal class = 8

f₁ = frequency of the class preceding the modal class = 5

f₂ = frequency of the class succeeding the modal class = 2

c = width of the class interval = 10

Putting all these values in the modal formula,

⇒ 

⇒ 

⇒ Mode = 30 + 3.33

⇒ Mode = 33.3

Thus, mean is 28, median is 30 and mode is 33.3.

The mean of 5 numbers is 20. If one number is excluded their mean is 15. Then the excluded number is
A. 5

B. 40

C. 20

D. 10

Answer:

Given that, Total number of observations = 5

Mean = 20

So, Sum of observations can be given as

Sum of observations = Mean × Total number of observations [∵ ]

⇒ Sum of observations = 20 × 5

⇒ Sum of observations = 100

Let the excluded number be x.

New Sum of observations = 100 – x

New Mean = 15

New total number of observations = 4

Mean is given by

⇒ 

⇒ 100 – x = 15 × 4

⇒ 100 – x = 60

⇒ x = 100 – 60 = 40

⇒ The excluded number is 40.

Thus, option (B) is correct.
