Ncert Solutions For Class 7 Maths 5may Chapter 3 Data Handling Exercise 3 2

This document contains solutions to exercises from NCERT Class 7 Maths Chapter 3 on data handling. It includes steps to find the mode, median and mean of different data sets. The mode is the number that occurs most frequently in the data. The median is the middle number when the data is arranged in ascending order. The mean is the average and may not be a number within the data set. Some key points are: - The mode and median of a 15 student test score data set were both found to be 20. - The mean, mode and median of an 11 player cricket run data set were different numbers. - A student weight data set was found to have two modes. - The mode

Data Handling

Exercise 3.2 Page: 68

1. The scores on the Mathematics test (out of 25) of 15 students are as follows:

19, 25, 23, 20, 9, 20, 15, 10, 5, 16, 25, 20, 24, 12, 20

Find the mode and median of this data. Are they the same?

Solution:-

Arranging the given scores in ascending order, we get

5, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 19, 20, 20, 20, 20, 23, 24, 25, 25

Mode

Mode is the value of the variable which occurs most frequently.

Clearly, 20 occurs a maximum number of times.

Hence, the mode of the given sores is 20.

Median

The value of the middle-most observation is called the median of the data.

Here, n = 15, which is odd.

Where n is the number of students.

∴ median = value of ½ (n + 1)th observation

= ½ (15 + 1)

= ½ (16)

= 16/2

=8

Then, the value of the 8th term = 20

Hence, the median is 20.

Yes, both values are the same.

2. The runs scored in a cricket match by 11 players are as follows:

6, 15, 120, 50, 100, 80, 10, 15, 8, 10, 15

Find the mean, mode and median of this data. Are the three same?

Solution:-

Arranging the runs scored in a cricket match by 11 players in ascending order, we get

6, 8, 10, 10, 15, 15, 15, 50, 80, 100, 120

Mean

Mean of the given data = Sum of all observations / Total number of observations

= (6 + 8 + 10 + 10 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 50 + 80 + 100 + 120)/ 11

= 429/11

= 39

Mode,

Mode is the value of the variable which occurs most frequently.

Clearly, 15 occurs a maximum number of times.

Hence, the mode of the given sores is 15.

Median,

The value of the middle-most observation is called the median of the data.

Here n = 11, which is odd.

Where n is the number of players.

∴ median = value of ½ (n + 1)th observation.

= ½ (11 + 1)

= ½ (12)

= 12/2

=6

Then, the value of the 6th term = 15

Hence, the median is 15.

No, these three are not the same.

3. The weights (in kg.) of 15 students of a class are:

38, 42, 35, 37, 45, 50, 32, 43, 43, 40, 36, 38, 43, 38, 47

(i) Find the mode and median of this data.

(ii) Is there more than one mode?

Solution:-

Arranging the given weights of 15 students of a class in ascending order, we get

32, 35, 36, 37, 38, 38, 38, 40, 42, 43, 43, 43, 45, 47, 50

(i) Mode and Median

Mode

Mode is the value of the variable which occurs most frequently.

Clearly, 38 and 43 both occur 3 times.

Hence, the modes of the given weights are 38 and 43.

Median

The value of the middle-most observation is called the median of the data.

Here, n = 15, which is odd.

Where n is the number of students.

∴ median = value of ½ (n + 1)th observation

= ½ (15 + 1)

= ½ (16)

= 16/2

=8

Then, the value of the 8th term = 40

Hence, the median is 40.

(ii) Yes, there are 2 modes for the given weights of the students.

4. Find the mode and median of the data: 13, 16, 12, 14, 19, 12, 14, 13, 14

Solution:-

Arranging the given data in ascending order, we get

= 12, 12, 13, 13, 14, 14, 14, 16, 19

Mode

Mode is the value of the variable which occurs most frequently.

Clearly, 14 occurs the maximum number of times.

Hence, the mode of the given data is 14.

Median

The value of the middle-most observation is called the median of the data.

Here, n = 9, which is odd.

Where n is the number of students.

∴ median = value of ½ (9 + 1)th observation

= ½ (9 + 1)

= ½ (10)

= 10/2

=5

Then, the value of the 5th term = 14

Hence, the median is 14.

5. Tell whether the statement is true or false.

(i) The mode is always one of the numbers in a data.

Solution:-

The statement given above is true.

Because Mode is the value of the variable which occurs most frequently in the given data.

Hence, a mode is always one of the numbers in the data.

(ii) The mean is one of the numbers in the data.

Data Handling

Solution:-

The statement given above is false.

Because mean may or may not be one of the numbers in the data.

(iii) The median is always one of the numbers in a data.

Solution:-

The statement given above is true.

Because the median is the value of the middle-most observation in the given data while arranged in
ascending or descending order.

Hence, the median is always one of the numbers in a data

(iv) The data 6, 4, 3, 8, 9, 12, 13, and 9 have the mean 9.

Solution:-

Mean = Sum of all given observations / Number of observations

= (6 + 4 + 3 + 8 + 9 + 12 + 13 + 9)/8

= (64/8)

=8

Hence, the given statement is false.
