Exercise 6.1
Question 1.

The mean of 11 results is 30. If the mean of the first 6 results is 28 and that of last 6 results is 32, find the 6th result.


Answer:

Let the 6th number be x


Given that mean of 11 results = 30


∴ sum of 11 numbers = 11 × 30 = 330


Mean of the first 6 results = 28


Sum of first 6 numbers = 6 × 28 = 168


Mean of the last 6 results = 32


Sum of the last 6 results = 6 × 32 = 192


Therefore,


Sum of first 6 numbers + sum of last 6 numbers – 6th number = sum of 11 numbers


168 + 192 - x = 330


⇒ 360 – x = 330


⇒ x = 30



Question 2.

The mean of 17 observations is 20. If the mean of the first 9 observation is 23 and that of last 9 observations is 18, find the 9th observation.


Answer:

Let the 9th observation be x


Given that mean of 17 observations = 20


∴ sum of 17 observations = 17 × 20 = 340


Mean of the first 9 observations= 23


Sum of first 9 observations = 9 × 23 = 207


Mean of the last 9 observations = 18


Sum of the last 9 observations = 9 × 18 = 162


Therefore,


Sum of first 9 observations + sum of last 9 observations – 9th observation = sum of 17 observations


207 + 162 - x = 340


⇒ 369 – x = 340


⇒ x = 29



Question 3.

The mean weight of 21 students of a class is 52 kg. If the mean weight of the first 11 students of the class is 50 kg and that of the last 11 students is 54 kg, find the weight of the 11th student.


Answer:

Let the weight of 11th student be x


Given that mean weight of 21 students = 52kg


∴ sum of 21 students weight = 21 × 52 = 1092kg


Mean weight of the first 11 students = 50kg


Sum of first 11 students weight = 11 × 50 = 550kg


Mean weight of the last 11 students = 54kg


Sum of the last 11 students weight = 11 × 54 = 594kg


Therefore,


Sum of first 11 students weight + sum of last 11 students weight – weight of the 11th student = sum of 21 students weight


550+594 - x = 1092


⇒ 1144 – x = 1092


⇒ x = 52


Hence, weight of 11th student is 52kg



Question 4.

The mean weight of 25 students of a class is 60 kg. If the mean weight of the first 13 students of the class is 57 kg and that of the last 13 students is 63 kg, find the weight of the 13th student.


Answer:

Let the weight of 13th student be x


Given that mean weight of 25 students = 60kg


∴ sum of 25 students weight = 25 × 60 = 1500kg


Mean weight of the first 13 students = 57kg


Sum of first 13 students weight = 13 × 57 = 741kg


Mean weight of the last 13 students = 63kg


Sum of the last 13 students weight = 13 × 63 = 819kg


Therefore,


Sum of first 13 students weight + sum of last 13 students weight – weight of the 13th student = sum of 25 students weight


741 + 819 - x = 1500


⇒ 1560 – x = 1500


⇒ x = 60


Hence, weight of 13th student is 60kg



Question 5.

The mean of 23 observations is 34. If the mean of the first 12 observations is 32 and that of the last 12 observations is 38, find the 12th observation.


Answer:

Let the 12th observation be x


Given that mean of 23 observations = 34


∴ sum of 23 observations = 23 × 34 = 782


Mean of the first 12 observations = 32


Sum of first 12 observations = 12 × 32 = 384


Mean of the last 12 observations = 38


Sum of the last 12 observations = 12 × 38 = 456


Therefore,


Sum of first 12 observations + sum of last 12 observations – 12th observation = sum of 23 observations


384 + 456 - x = 782


⇒ 840 – x = 782


⇒ x = 58



Question 6.

The mean of 11 numbers is 35. If the mean of first 6 numbers is 32 and that of last 6 numbers is 37, find the 6th number.


Answer:

Let the 6th number be x


Given that mean of 11 results = 35


∴ sum of 11 numbers = 11 × 35 = 385


Mean of the first 6 results = 32


Sum of first 6 numbers = 6 × 32 = 192


Mean of the last 6 results = 37


Sum of the last 6 results = 6 × 37 = 222


Therefore,


Sum of first 6 numbers + sum of last 6 numbers – 6th number = sum of 11 numbers


192 + 222 - x = 385


⇒ 414 – x = 385


⇒ x = 29



Question 7.

The mean of 25 observations is 36. If the mean of the first 13 observations is 32 and that of the last 13 observations is 39, find the 13th observation.


Answer:

Let the 13th observation be x


Given that mean of 25 observations = 36


∴ sum of 25 observations = 25 × 36 = 900


Mean of the first 13 observations = 32


Sum of first 13 observations = 13 × 32 = 416


Mean of the last 13 observations = 39


Sum of the last 13 observations = 13 × 39 = 507


Therefore,


Sum of first 13 observations + sum of last 13 observations – 13th observation = sum of 25 observations


416 + 507 - x = 900


⇒ 923 – x = 900


⇒ x = 23



Question 8.

If the mean of the following data is 25, find the value of k.



Answer:


Now,



⇒25(14+k) = 390+ 15k


⇒350 + 25k = 390 + 15k

⇒62.8 (40 + x) = 2640 + 50x


⇒2512 + 62.8x = 2640 + 50x


⇒ 62.8x – 50x = 2640 – 2512


⇒ 12.8x = 128


⇒ x = 10



Question 11.

The arithmetic mean of the following data is 14. Find the value of p:



Answer:


Now,



⇒14 (24+p) = 360 + 10p


⇒336 + 14p = 360 + 10p


⇒ 14p – 10p = 360 – 336


⇒ 4p = 24


⇒ p = 6



Question 12.

Find the value of p if the mean of the following distribution is 7.5:



Answer:


Now,



⇒7.5(41+p) = 303 + 9p


⇒307.5 + 7.5p = 303 + 9p


⇒ 7.5p – 9p = 303 – 307.5


⇒ -1.5p = -4.5


⇒ p = 3

⇒ -17p = -476


⇒ p = 28



Question 16.

If the mean of the following distribution is 5. Find the value of f1:



Answer:


Now,



⇒ 5(96+ f1) = 4320 + 70f1


⇒480 + 5f1 = 4320 + 70f1


⇒ 5f1 – 70f1 = 4320 - 480


⇒ -65f1 = +3840


⇒ f1 = - 59.07


This is not possible as frequency can not be negative.

Answer:


Now,



Question 18.

The mean of the following frequency distribution is 62.8 and the sum of all frequency is 50. Compute the missing frequency f1 and f2 :



Answer:


Now,


[given: ∑fi = 50]


⇒ 62.8(50) = 2060 + 30f1 +70f2


⇒ 3140 = 2060 + 30f1 +70f2


⇒ 3140 - 2060 = 30f1 +70f2


⇒ 1080 = 30f1 +70f2


⇒ 108 = 3f1 +7f2 …(i)


and 30 + f1 +f2 = 50


⇒ f1 +f2 = 50 – 30


⇒ f1 +f2 = 20


⇒ f1 = 20 – f2 …(ii)


Now, putting the value of f1 in eq. (i), we get


3(20 –f2) + 7f2 = 108


⇒ 60 – 3f2 + 7f2 = 108


⇒ 4f2 = 108 – 60


⇒ 4f2 = 48


⇒ f2 = 12


Now, substitute the value of f2 in eq. (ii), we get


f1 = 20 – 12


⇒ f1 = 8



Question 19.

The mean of the following frequency distribution is 57.6 and the sum of the frequencies is 50. Find the missing frequencies f1 and f2 :



Answer:


Now,


[given: ∑fi = 50]


⇒ 57.6(50) = 1940 + 30f1 +70f2


⇒ 2880 = 1940 + 30f1 +70f2


⇒ 2880 – 1940 = 30f1 +70f2


⇒ 940 = 30f1 +70f2


⇒ 94 = 3f1 +7f2 …(i)


and 32 + f1 +f2 = 50


⇒ f1 +f2 = 50 – 32


⇒ f1 +f2 = 18


⇒ f1 = 18 – f2 …(ii)


Now, putting the value of f1 in eq. (i), we get


3(18 –f2) + 7f2 = 94


⇒ 54 – 3f2 + 7f2 = 94


⇒ 4f2 = 94 – 54


⇒ 4f2 = 40


⇒ f2 = 10


Now, substitute the value of f2 in eq. (ii), we get


f1 = 18 – 10


⇒ f1 = 8

Question 13.

Find the mode of the following distribution:



Answer:


Here, the maximum frequency is 25, and the class corresponding to this frequency is 40 - 50


So, the modal class is 40 – 50.


lower limit (l) of modal class = 40,


class size(h) = 10


frequency (f1) of the modal class = 25


frequency (f0) of class preceding the modal class = 12


frequency (f2) of class succeeding the modal class = 10


Now, let us substitute these values in the formula





= 40 + 4.64


Mode = 44.64(approx.)



Question 14.

If the mode of the following distribution is Rs. 24, find the missing frequency:



Answer:

Given: Mode = Rs. 24


Frequency (fi) = 100


Class size = 10


Let frequency of the class 10 – 20 be f0. Then, the frequency of the class 30 – 40 will be equal to 100 – 14 – f0 – 27 – 15 = 44 – f0.


It is given that mode = 24, therefore, modal class is 20 – 30.


Thus, lower limit of the modal class (l) = 20


frequency (f0) of class preceding the modal class = f0


frequency (f2) of class succeeding the modal class = 44 – f0





⇒ 4 = 27 - f0


⇒ -23 = -f0


⇒ f0 = 23


∴ f2 = 44 – 23 = 21


Hence, the missing frequencies are 23 and 21.



Question 15.

The following distribution gives the state-wise teacher-student ratio in higher secondary schools of India. Find the mode and mean of this data. Interpret, the two measures:



Answer:


Now,



⇒x̄ = 37.5 – 8.28


⇒x̄ = 29.22


∴ Mean = 29.22


Here, the maximum no. of students per teacher i.e. 10, and the class corresponding to this frequency is 30 – 35


So, the modal class is 30 – 35 .


lower limit (l) of modal class = 30,


class size(h) = 5


frequency (f1) of the modal class = 10


frequency (f0) of class preceding the modal class = 9


frequency (f2) of class succeeding the modal class = 3


Now, let us substitute these values in the formula





= 30 + 0.625


Mode = 30.625(approx.)

Question 12.

Find the median of the following data:



Answer:


Here, the class mark is given.


∴Class size = 45 – 35 = 10


If a is a class mark and h is the size of the class interval, then the lower limit and upper limit of the class interval are and repectively.


∴, we have h = 10


∴Lower Limit of first class interval


The upper limit of first class interval


∴ The first class interval is 30 – 40


Hence, the class intervals are 30 – 40, 40 – 50, 50 – 60, 60 – 70, 70 – 80, 80 – 90.


Now, We find the median


We have n = 90


So,


The cumulative Frequency just greater than is 46 then the median class is 40 – 50 such that


the lower limit (l) = 40


cumulative frequency of the class preceding 40 – 50 (cf) = 20


frequency of the median class 40 – 50 = 26,

Question 14.

Find the missing frequency of the following incomplete frequency distribution if the median is 46 and find the mean of the complete distribution.



Answer:


Given Median =46


Then, median Class = 40 – 50


the lower limit (l) = 40


cumulative frequency of the class preceding 40 – 50 (cf) = 42 + x


frequency of the median class 40 – 50 = 65,


class size (h) = 10


Total frequencies (n) = 229


So, 150 + x + y = 229


⇒ x + y = 229 – 150


⇒ x + y = 79 …(i)



Using the formula,,we have





⇒39 = 72.5 – x


⇒ x = 33.5


Putting the value of x in eq. (i), we get


⇒ 33.5 + y = 79


⇒ y = 79 – 33.5


⇒ y = 45.5



Question 15.

If the median of the distribution given below is 28.5, find the values of x and y.



Answer:


Given Median =28.5


Then, median Class = 20 – 30


the lower limit (l) = 20


cumulative frequency of the class preceding 20 – 30 (cf) = 5 + x


frequency of the median class 20 – 30 = 20,


class size (h) = 10


Total frequencies (n) = 60


So, 45 + x + y = 60


⇒ x + y = 60 – 45


⇒ x + y = 15 …(i)



Using the formula,, we have




⇒8.5 × 2 = 25-x


⇒17 = 25 – x


⇒ x = 8


Putting the value of x in eq. (i), we get


⇒ 8 + y = 15


⇒ y = 15 – 8


⇒ y = 7



Question 16.

The median of the following data is 525. Find the values of x and y, if the total frequency is 100:



Answer:


Given Median =525


Then, median Class = 500-600


the lower limit (l) = 500


cumulative frequency of the class preceding 500-600(cf) = 36 + x


frequency of the median class 500-600 = 20,


class size (h) = 100


Total frequencies (n) = 100


So, 76 + x + y = 100


⇒ x + y = 100 – 76


⇒ x + y = 24 …(i)



Using the formula,,we have




⇒25 = (14 – x) × 5


⇒5 = 14 – x


⇒ x = 9


Putting the value of x in eq. (i), we get


⇒ 9 + y = 24


⇒ y = 24 – 9


⇒ y = 15

So,


The cumulative Frequency just greater than is 127 then the median class is 50-60 such that


the lower limit (l) = 50


cumulative frequency of the class preceding 50 – 60 (cf) = 96


frequency of the median class 50 – 60 = 31,


class size (h) = 10


Using the formula,,we have



= 50 + 9.35


= 59.35



Question 18.

Find the mean, median and mode from the following table:



Answer:


Now,



⇒x̄ = 24.5 + 1.99


⇒x̄ = 26.5


Now, we calculate the median



We have n = 274


So,


The cumulative Frequency just greater than is 152 then the median class is 21 – 28 such that


the lower limit (l) = 21


cumulative frequency of the class preceding 21 – 28 (cf) = 80


frequency of the median class 21-28 = 72,


class size (h) = 7


Using the formula,,we have



= 21 + 5.57


= 26.57


Now, we have to find the mode


Here, the maximum class frequency is 72, and the class corresponding to this frequency is 21 – 28.


So, the modal class is 21 – 28.


Now, modal class = 21 – 28, lower limit (l) of modal class = 21, class size(h) = 7


frequency (f1) of the modal class = 72


frequency (f0) of class preceding the modal class = 36


frequency (f2) of class succeeding the modal class = 51


Now, let us substitute these values in the formula





= 21 + 4.42


= 25.42

Determine the median number of letters in the surnames. Find the mean number of letter in the surnames? Also, find the modal size of the surnames.


Answer:


We have n = 100


So,


The cumulative Frequency just greater than is 36 then the median class is 7 – 10 such that


the lower limit (l) = 7


cumulative frequency of the class preceding 7 – 10 (cf) = 36


frequency of the median class 7 – 10 = 40,


class size (h) = 3


Using the formula,,we have



= 7 + 1.05


= 8.05


Now, we calculate the Mean



Now,



= 11.5 – 3.18


= 8.32


Now, we have to find the mode


Here, the maximum class frequency is 40, and the class corresponding to this frequency is 7 – 10.


So, the modal class is 7 – 10.


Now, modal class = 7 – 10, lower limit (l) of modal class = 7, class size(h) = 3


frequency (f1) of the modal class = 40


frequency (f0) of class preceding the modal class = 30


frequency (f2) of class succeeding the modal class = 16


Now, let us substitute these values in the formula





= 7 + 0.88


= 7.88
