QUESTION
Mean of 10 observation was found to be 20. Later on, it was detected that an observation 15 was misread as 10. The correct mean of the observation is
a)20.5 b)21
c)21.5 d)22
ANSWER
a)20.5
Mean = Sum of observation
No. of observation
Here , Mean = 20
No .of observation = 10
Therefore, 20 = sum of observation/ 10
sum of observation = 20* 10
=200
It is given that one of the observation 15 is misread as 10
so 200-10= 190
190+ 15 = 205
therefore correct Mean = 205 / 10
= 20.5
QUESTION
If a, b, c, d and e are five consecutive odd numbers then their mean is :
a) b b)c
c)e d)a
ANSWER
b) c
Let five consecutive odd numbers be 1, 3 , 5 , 7 , 9
Mean = 1+3+5+7+9/ 5
= 25/ 5
=5 =c
or
Let five consecutive odd numbers be 9,11,13,15,17
Mean = 9 +11 +13+ 15 +17 /5
= 65/5
=13=c
QUESTION
The mean of x, 2x, 5x+1 and 3 is :
a)2x b)2x+1
c)2x-1 d)8x
ANSWER
b) 2x+1
Mean = Sum of observation/ No. of observation
= x +2x +5x+1 +3 /4
= 8x +4
=2x+1
QUESTION
If 6 is the arithmetic mean of 2, 5, p, 8. Then the value of p is :
a)8 b)9
c)7 d)6
ANSWER
Mean = Sum of observation / No. of observation
\ 6 = 2 +5 +p +8 /4
6 = 15 +p /4
24 = 15 + p
p = 24 - 15
= 9
QUESTION
The mean of 3, x, x+5, and 4 is 5. Find the value of x
a) 2 b)3
c)4 d)5
ANSWER
Mean = Sum of observation / No .of observation
5 =3 + x + x+5 +4 / 4
5 = 2x + 12 /4
20 = 2x +12
x= 20 -12/2
= 8/2
= 4
QUESTION
Find the median of 3, 8 ,5, 7, 6, 9 ,10. If 9 is replaced by 4.What will be the new median ?
ANSWER
For finding the median arrange the data in ascending or descending order,
3, 5, 6 ,7, 9, 10
Then the median = 6+7/2
= 13/ 2 =6.5
Now if we replace 9 by 4
The median will not have any change
QUESTION
The following observations have been arranged in ascending order. If the median of the data is , find the value of .
ANSWER
Total observations (even)
Median th & observations
Median
⇒x=62
SUMMARY
The collection, recording and presentation of data help us organize our experiences and
draw inferences from them. You have seen several kinds of data through newspapers,
magazines televisions and other sources. You also know that all data gives us some kind of
information. When we collect data, we have to record and organize it. The most
representative value of a group of data is Arithmetic Mean or the Mean. Arithmetic mean is
the division of sum of observation of data by no. of observation. Median is the middle value of
the observation arranging in ascending or descending order. Mode is the most number of
occur of data0
