2. Give the formula to find mean.

Ans: Formula to find mean is given by,

Sum of all observations


Mean 
Number of observations

Example: Mean of 2, 4, 6,8,10

2  4  6  8  10 30
=  6
5 5

3. Define Mode.

Ans: The most frequently occurring value in a data set Is called Mode.

For example, in set 2,3,4,5,5,5,7,7

5 occurs 3 times. Hence 5 will be the mode of the given data.

4. Define Average.

Ans: In mathematics, an average is referred to as a mean. It may be obtained by


adding the numbers together and then dividing the result by the total number of
numbers.

Example average of 8,10

8  10 18
=  9

6. Find the mode for the given set of data: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 2, 1, 4, 1, 6, 1

Ans: Given data is 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 2, 1, 4, 1, 6, 1

Arranging this data in ascending order

1,1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,6,6,7,7,8

1 is repeating most frequently that is 4 times

Therefore, mode of the given data is 1

7. Find the median of the data 1, 2, 23, 48, 26, 33, 4

Ans. Given data is 1, 2, 23, 48, 26, 33, 4

Arranging this data in ascending order

1, 2, 23, 26, 35, 45, 48

We know that, median of a data is middle term.

Here, we have a total of 7 terms.

And here the middle term is the 4th term i.e. 26.

Therefore, the median of the data is 26.

8. Theja studies 8 hours, 6 hours and 2 hours on three consecutive days. How
many hours did he study daily?

Ans. Given, Theja studied 8 hours, 6 hours and 2 hours .

sum of given data


Theja studied daily = Average of 8, 6, 2 =
Number of days

8  6  2 16
  5.33 hours
3 3

Theja studied 5.33 hours .

9. Answer the following by observing the given data
