Ans:

Find the median of arranged series of an even number of n terms.

We know that if n = Even
then Median = (n)th term +(n+1)th term / 2

Find the median class of the following data:

Marks Frequency
0-10 8
10-20 10
20-30 12
30-40 22
40-50 30
50-60 18
∴ N/2=100/2 = 50
Looking in the table c.f. just greater than 50 is 52.
∴ Median class = Class corresponding to 52 = 30 – 40.
Find the class marks of classes 10-25 and 35-55.
Class mark of 10-25 = 10+25/2=35/2 = 17.5
Class mark of 35-55 = 35+55/2=90/2 = 45
If mode = 400 and median = 500, find mean.
Mean = Mode + 3/2 (Median – Mode)
= 400 + 3/2 (500 – 400)
= 400 + 150
= 550

What is the modal class of the following distribution?

The highest frequecny 38 corresponds to 30-40.

∴ The modal class is 30-40.

If the mode of the following data is 7, then find the value of k.

2, 4, 6, 7, 5, 6, 10, 6, 7, 2k + 1, 9, 7, 13
There are two entries which occur 3 times each which are 6 and 7.
For 7 to be mode
2k + 1 = 7
k = 6/2 = 3

The mean of 6 numbers is 16 with the removal of a number the mean of remaining numbers is 17. Find the
removed number.
Let xd be the sixth number to be remove and x1 x2, …,x5 be remaining 5 numbers.
The mean of 11 numbers is 35. If mean of first 6 numbers is 32 and that of last 6 numbers is 37, find 6th number.

⇒ x6 + x7 + ……… + x11 = 37 × 6 = 222 ………..(iii)

(ii) and (iii)
⇒ (x1 + x2 + …….. + x6) + (x6 + …….. + x11) = 192 + 222
⇒ x6 + (x1 + x2 + ………. + x11) = 414
⇒ x6 + 385 = 414
⇒ x6 = 414 – 385 = 29 (∵ of (i))

If a variable x takes discrete value x + 4, x – 7/2, x – 5/2, x – 2, x + 1/2, x + 5, x – 3, x – 1/2, find its median.
Arranging the data in ascending order
x – 7/2, x – 3, x – 5/2, x – 2, x – 1/2, x + 1/2, x + 4, x + 5
Here, N = 8 (even)

Find the mode of the following data:

Height In cm No. of toys
0-10 6
10-20 10
20-30 12
30-40 32
40-50 20

Modal class = 30 – 40
l = 30 f1 = 32, f0 = 12, f2 = 20
Find median of the following data:

Here data is not in ascending order so we first arrange it in ascending order and then append a cumulative
frequency column.
xi fi cf
15 3 3
21 5 8
27 6 14
30 7 21
35 8 29
N = 29

Here N = 29, which is odd

∴ Medium = (N+1)/2th observation
= (29+1) /2th = 15th observation
Since, 15th observation lie in the cumulative frequency 21 for which corresponding observation is 30.
∴ Median = 30

The mean of 9 items is 15. If one more item is added to this series, the mean becomes 16. Find the value of the
10th item.

Write a frequency distribution table for the following data:

MARKS NO. OF STUDENT
Above 0 30
Above 10 28
Above 20 21
Above 30 15
Above 40 10
Above 50 0

MARKS NO. OF STUDENT

0-10 30-28=2
10-20 28 – 21 = 7
20-30 21 – 15 = 6
30-40 15 – 10 = 5
40-50 10-0 = 10
Total 30
In a school 85 boys and 35 girls appeared in a public examination. The mean marks of boys was found to be 40%
whereas the mean marks of girls was 60%. Determine the average marks percentage of the school.
Assuming the maximum marks to be 100.
Mean marks of boys X(B ) = 40
and mean marks of girls X(G ) = 60
Also no. of boys n(B) = 85
and no. of girls n(G) = 35

Find the modal length of a leave.

Since, the maximum number of leaves is 14, therefore modal class 142-150, l = 142, h = 8, f1 = 14, f0 = 10, f2 = 4
Mode = l + {f1−f0 / 2f1−f0−f2 }× h
= 142 + {14−10/ 2×14−10−4} × 8
= 142 + 414 × 8 = 144.29
