(ii) The mean of the age of three students Vijay, Rahul and Rakhi is 15 years. If their ages are in the ratio 4 : 5 : 6 respectively, then find their ages.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i) The marks obtained by the group of students are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

81, 72, 90, 90, 85, 86, 70, 93, 71<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, n = 9<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 Mean (x\u0304)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u01a9 xi<\/sub>\/ n = (81 + 72 + 90 + 90 + 85 + 86 + 70 + 93 + 71)\/9<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 738\/9 = 82<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, the mean marks obtained by the group of students is 82.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii) Given, the mean of the age of three students Vijay, Rahul and Rakhi is 15 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, n = 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the sum of ages of the 3 students = 15 x 3 = 45<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also given, ratio of their ages is 4 : 5 : 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sum of ratios = 4 + 5 + 6 = 15<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vijay\u2019s age = (45\/15) x 4 = 12 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rahul\u2019s age = (45\/15) x 5 = 15 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rakhi\u2019s age = (45\/15) x 6 = 18 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. The mean of 5 numbers is 20. If one number is excluded, mean of the remaining numbers becomes 23. Find the excluded number.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mean of 5 numbers = 20<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the total sum of the numbers = 20 x 5 = 100<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After excluding one number,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mean of the remaining 4 numbers = 23<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the total sum of these numbers = 23 x 4 = 92<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The excluded number is = 100 \u2013 92 = 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. The mean of 25 observations is 27. If one observation is included, the mean still remains 27. Find the included observation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mean of 25 observations is 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The total sum of all the 25 observations = 27 x 25 = 675<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After one observation is included,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the mean of 26 (25 + 1) numbers = 27<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The total sum of all the 26 observations = 27 x 26 = 702<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The included observation = 702 \u2013 675 = 27<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. The mean of 5 observations is 15. If the mean of first three observations is 14 and that<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

of the last three is 17, find the third observation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mean of 5 observations = 15<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, total sum of the 5 observations = 15 x 5 = 75<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also given,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mean of first 3 observations = 14<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the sum of the 3 observations = 14 x 3 = 42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, the mean of last 3 observations = 17<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the sum of last 3 observations = 17 x 3 = 51<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, the total of 3 + 3 observations = 42 + 51 = 93<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third observation = 93 \u2013 75 = 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. The mean of 8 variate is 10.5. If seven of them are 3, 15, 7, 19, 2, 17 and 8, then find<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

the 8th<\/sup> variate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven out of eight variates are: 3, 15, 7, 19, 2, 17 and 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mean of 8 variates = 10.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the total of 8 variates = 10.5 x 8 = 84<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sum of seven variates = (3 + 15 + 7 + 19 + 2 + 17 + 8) = 71<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 8th<\/sup> variate = 84 \u2013 71 = 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. The mean weight of 8 students is 45.5 kg. Two more students having weights 41.7 kg and 53.3 kg join the group. What is the new mean weight?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mean weight of 8 students = 45.5 kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the total weight of 8 students = 45.5 x 8 = 364 kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weight of two more students are 41.7 kg and 53.3 kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The total weight of 10 (8 + 2) students = 364 + 41.7 + 53.3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 364 + 95<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 459 kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, the new mean weight of all the 10 students = 459\/10 = 45.9 kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Mean of 9 observations was found to be 35. Later on, it was detected that an observation 81 was misread as 18. Find the correct mean of the observations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mean of 9 observations = 35<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the sum of all 9 observations = 35 x 9 = 315<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the difference due to misread = 81 \u2013 18 = 63<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, the actual sum = 315 + 63 = 378<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actual mean = 378\/ 9 = 42.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. A student scored the following marks in 11 questions of a question paper:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7, 3, 4, 1, 5, 8, 2, 2, 5, 7, 6.
Find the median marks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marks scored in 11 questions of a question paper by the student are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7, 3, 4, 1, 5, 8, 2, 2, 5, 7, 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arranging it in descending order, we have<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, n = 11 which is odd<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 Median = (n + 1)\/2th<\/sup> term<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= (11 + 1)\/2 = 12\/2 = 6th<\/sup> term i.e 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, the median mark is 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. Calculate the mean and the median of the numbers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2, 3, 4, 3, 0, 5, 1, 1, 3, 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First arrange the number in descending order<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So n = 10 which is even<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mean (x\u0304) = \u01a9 xi<\/sub>\/ n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Substituting the values<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= (0 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 5)\/10<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By further calculation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 24\/10<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 2.4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Median = \u00bd [10\/2th + (10\/2 + 1)th terms]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be written as<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= \u00bd (5th<\/sup> + 6th<\/sup>) term<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Substituting the values<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= \u00bd (2 + 3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 5\/2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 2.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. A group of students was given a special test in Mathematics. The test was completed by the various students in the following time in (minutes):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

24, 30, 28, 17, 22, 36, 30, 19, 32, 18, 20, 24.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find the mean time and median time taken by the students to complete the test.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First arrange the data in descending order<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 24, 24, 28, 30, 30, 32, 36<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So n = 12 which is even<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mean (x\u0304) = \u01a9 xi<\/sub>\/ n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Substituting the values<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= (17 + 18 + 19 + 20 + 22 + 24 + 24 + 28 + 30 + 30 + 32 + 36)\/2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we get<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 300\/12<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 25<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Median = \u00bd [12\/2th + (12\/2 + 1)th terms]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be written as<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= \u00bd (6th<\/sup> + 7th<\/sup>) terms<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Substituting the values<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= \u00bd (24 + 24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= \u00bd (48)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

41, 39, 52, 48, 54, 62, 46, 52, 40, 96, 42, 40, 98, 60, 52.
Find the mean and median of this data.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On arranging the marks obtained by the students, we have<\/p>\n\n\n\n

39, 40, 40, 41, 42, 46, 48, 52, 52, 52, 54, 60, 62, 96, 98<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 Mean (x\u0304)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u01a9 xi<\/sub>\/ n = (39 + 40 + 40 + 41 + 42 + 46 + 48 + 52 + 52 + 52 + 54 + 60 + 62 + 96 + 98)\/15<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 822\/15 = 54.8<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Median = (15 + 1)\/2th<\/sup> term<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 16\/2 = 8th<\/sup> term i.e. 52<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, for the given data mean = 54.8 and median = 52.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17. The points scored by a Kabaddi team in a series of matches are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, n = 16 when is even<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2234 Mean (x\u0304)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u01a9 xi<\/sub>\/ n = (2 + 5 + 7 + 7 + 8 + 8 + 10 + 10 + 14 + 15 + 17 + 18 + 24 + 27 + 28 + 48)\/15<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 248\/16 = 15.5 points<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Median = \u00bd [(16\/2)th<\/sup> term + (16\/2 + 1)th<\/sup> term]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= \u00bd (8th<\/sup> term + 9th<\/sup> term)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= \u00bd (10 + 14)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= \u00bd x 24 = 12 points<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, the mean and the median of the points scored by the Kabaddi team are 15.5 and 12 respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18. The following observations have been arranged in ascending order. If the median<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

the data is 47.5, find the value of x.

Given data,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17, 21, 23, 29, 39, 40, x, 50, 51, 54, 59, 67, 91, 93<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, n = 14 which is even<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the given data is arranged in descending order<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Median = \u00bd [(14\/2)th<\/sup> term + (14\/2 + 1)th<\/sup> term]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= \u00bd (7th<\/sup> term + 8th<\/sup> term)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u21d2 47.5 = \u00bd (x + 50)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

95 = x + 50<\/p>\n\n\n\n

x = 95 \u2013 50 = 45<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, the value of x is 45.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

19. The following observations have been arranged in ascending order. If the median<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

the data is 13, find the value of x.

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given observations in ascending order,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3, 6, 7, 10, x, x + 4, 19, 20, 25, 28<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, n = 10 which is even and median = 13<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Median = \u00bd [(10\/2)th<\/sup> term + (10\/2 + 1)th<\/sup> term]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= \u00bd (5th<\/sup> term + 6th<\/sup> term)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= \u00bd (x + x + 4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= (2x + 4)\/2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= x + 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u21d2 x + 2 = 13<\/p>\n\n\n\n

x = 13 \u2013 2 = 11<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, the value of x is 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the total weight of 60 students = 52.75 \u00d7 60 = 3165 kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mean weight of 35 students among them = 54 kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the total weight of 35 students = 54 \u00d7 35 = 1890 kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remaining students = 60 \u2013 35 = 25<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total weight of 25 students = 3165 \u2013 1890 = 1275 kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the mean weight of 25 students = 1275 \u00f7 25 = 51 kg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, the mean weight of the remaining students is 51 kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. The mean age of 18 students of a class is 14.5 years. Two more students of age 15 years and 16 years join the class. What is the new mean age?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is given that<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mean age of 18 students = 14.5 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total age = 14.5 \u00d7 18 = 261 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total age of 2 more students = 15 + 16 = 31 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total age of 18 + 2 = 20 students = 261 + 31 = 292 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mean age = 292\/20 = 14.6 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, the new mean age is 14.6 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. If the mean of the five observations x + 1, x + 3, x + 5, 2x + 2, 3x + 3 is 14, find the mean of first three observations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mean of the five observations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

x + 1, x + 3, x + 5, 2x + 2, 3x + 3 is 14<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mean = (x + 1 + x + 3 + x + 5 + 2x + 2 + 3x + 3)\/5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By further calculation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= (8x + 14)\/5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equating to mean<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(8x + 14)\/5 =14<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By cross multiplication<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8x + 14 = 70<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we get<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8x = 70 \u2013 14 = 56<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By division<\/p>\n\n\n\n

x = 56\/8 = 7<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mean of x + 1 + x + 3 + x + 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We get<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mean = (x + 1 + x + 3 + x + 5)\/3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By further calculation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= (3x + 9)\/3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= x + 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Substituting the value of x<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 7 + 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 10<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, the mean of first three observations is 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. The mean height of 36 students of a class is 150.5 cm. Later on, it was detected that the height of one student was wrongly copied as 165 cm instead of 156 cm. Find the correct mean height.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is given that<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mean height of 36 students of a class = 150.5 cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total height = 150.5 \u00d7 36 = 5418 cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Difference in height which was wrongly copied = 165 + 56 = 9 cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actual height = 5418 \u2013 9 = 5409 cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actual mean height = 5409\/36 = 150.25 cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, the correct mean height is 150.25 cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. The mean of 40 items is 35. Later on, it was discovered that two items were misread as 36 and 29 instead of 63 and 22. Find the correct mean.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is given that<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mean of 40 items = 35<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total of 40 items = 35 \u00d7 40 = 1400<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Difference between two items which were wrongly read = (63 + 22) \u2013 (36 + 29)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By further calculation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 85 \u2013 65<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 20<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actual total = 1400 + 20 = 1420<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Correct mean = 1420\/40 = 35.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, the correct mean is 35.5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. The following observations have been arranged in ascending order. If the median of the data is 63, find the value of x.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

29, 32, 48, 50, x, x + 2, 72, 75, 87, 91.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that<\/p>\n\n\n\n

N = 10 which is even<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Median = \u00bd [n\/2 th + (n\/2 + 1)th term]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be written as<\/p>\n\n\n\n

63 = \u00bd [10\/2th + (10\/2 + 1)th term]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

63 = \u00bd (5th<\/sup> + 6th<\/sup> terms)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Substituting the values<\/p>\n\n\n\n

63 = \u00bd (x + x + 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

63 \u00d7 2 = 2x + 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By further calculation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2x = 126 \u2013 2 = 124<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By division<\/p>\n\n\n\n

x = 124\/2 = 62<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, the value of x is 62.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
