Question 16

In a series of tests, A appeared for 8 tests. Each test was marked out of 30 and averages 25. However, while checking his files, A could only find 7 of the 8 tests. For these he scored 29, 26, 18, 20, 27, 24 and 29. Determine how many marks he scored for the eighth test.Solution 16

Total number of tests = 8

Average score of A = 25

Let the score of 8^th test be x.

Then, total score of 8 tests = 29 + 26 + 18 + 20 + 27 + 24 + 29 + x

Now, we have

Thus, A scored 27 marks in the eights test.

(i)Firstly arrange the numbers in ascending order

Now since

n=9(odd)

Therefore Median

Thus the median is 

(ii)

Firstly arrange the numbers in ascending order

241, 243, 257, 258, 261, 271, 292, 299, 327, 347, 350

Now since n=11(Odd)

(iii) Firstly arrange the numbers in ascending order

Now since n=10(even)

Thus the median is 

(iv) Firstly arrange the numbers in ascending order

173,185,189,194,194,200,204,208,220,223

Thus the median is 197Question 2

The following data have been arranged in ascending order. If their median is 63, find the value of x.

34, 37, 53, 55, x, x + 2, 77, 83, 89 and 100.Solution 2

Given numbers are 34, 37, 53, 55, x, x+2, 77, 83, 89, 100

Here n = 10(even)

Question 3

In 10 numbers, arranged in increasing order, the 7^th number is increased by 8, how much will the median be changed?Solution 3

For any given set of data, the median is the value of its middle term.

Here, total observations = n = 10 (even)

If n is even, we have

Thus, for n = 10, we have

Hence, if 7^th number is diminished by 8, there is no change in the median value.Question 4

Out of 10 students, who appeared in a test, three secured less than 30 marks and 3 secured more than 75 marks. The marks secured by the remaining 4 students are 35, 48, 66 and 40. Find the median score of the whole group.Solution 4

Here, total observations = n = 10 (even)

Thus, we have

According to given information, data in ascending order is as follows:

	1stTerm	2nd Term	3rd Term	4th Term	5th Term	6th Term	7th Term	8th Term	9th Term	10th Term
Marks	Less than 30	35	40	48	66	More than 75

Hence, the median score of the whole group is 44.Question 5

(ii)

Question 8

Find the mean and median of the data:

35, 48, 92, 76, 64, 52, 51, 63 and 71.

If 51 is replaced by 66, what will be the new median?Solution 8

Let us rewrite the given data in ascending order:

Thus, we have

35, 48, 51, 52, 63, 64, 71, 76, 92

There are 9 observations, which is odd.

If 51 is replaced by 66, the new set of data in ascending order is:

35, 48, 52, 63, 64, 66, 71, 76, 92

Question 9

The mean of x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6 and x + 8 is 11, find the mean of the first three observations.Solution 9

Question 10

Find the mean and median of all the positive factors of 72.Solution 10

Therefore, the data set is:

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72

Question 11

The mean weight of 60 students in a class is 40 kg. The mean weight of boys is 50 kg while that of girls is 30 kg. Find the number of boys and girls in the class.Solution 11

Total number of students = 60

Mean weight of 60 students = 40

Let the number of boys = x

Then, number of girls = 60 - x

Hence, the number of boys is 30 and the number of girls is also 30.Question 12

The average of n numbers x₁, x₂, x₃ ….. x_n is A. If x₁ is replaced by (x+ α)x₁, x₂, is replaced by (x+ α)x₂ and so on. Find the new average.Solution 12

Mean of n numbers = A

Question 13

The heights (in cm) of the volley- ball players from team A and team B were recorded as:

Team A: 180, 178, 176, 181, 190, 175, 187

Team B: 174, 175, 190, 179, 178, 185, 177

Which team had the greater average height?

Find the median of team A and team B.Solution 13

Total number of players in each team = 7

Thus, team A has greater average height.

Median of team A:

Arranging heights in ascending order, we get

175, 176, 178, 180, 181, 187, 190

Total number of observations = n = 7 (odd)

Median of team B:

Arranging heights in ascending order, we get

174, 175, 177, 178, 179, 185, 190

Total number of observations = n = 7 (odd)
