The mean of $50$ observations is $39.$ If one of the observations which was $23$ was replaced by $43,$ the resulting mean will be:
  • A
    $38.4$
  • B
    $39$
  • C
    $40.3$
  • $39.4$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$39.4$

The mean of $50$ observations is $39.$
So sum of these $50$ observations is $50 × 39 = 1950$
After replacing the observation value $23$ by $43,$
Sum becomes $1970$
So the mean is $\frac{1970}{50}=39.4$

The median of the data $78, 56, 22, 34, 45, 54, 39, 68, 54, 84$ is:
  • A
    $54$
  • $56$
  • C
    $45$
  • D
    $49.5$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$56$

First, we arrange the given observations in ascending order as follows
$22, 34, 39, 45, 54, 54, 56, 68, 78$ and $84$
Here, total number of observation, $n = 10$
Since, $n$ is even, so we use the formula for median,
Median $=\frac{\big(\frac{\text{n}}{2}\big)^{-1}\text{observation +}\big(\frac{\text{n}}{2}+1\big)\text{th observation}}{2}$
$=\frac{\big(\frac{10}{2}\big)\text{ th observation +}\big(\frac{10}{2}+1\big)\text{th observation}}{2} [$put $n = 10]$
$=\frac{5\text{th observation $+ 6th$ obsevation}}{2}=\frac{54+54}{2}=\frac{108}{2}=54$
Hence, the median of given data is $54.$

The mean of a set of seven numbers is $81$. If one of the numbers is discarded, the mean of the remaining numbers is $78$. The value of discarded number is:
  • $99$
  • B
    $101$
  • C
    $98$
  • D
    $100$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$99$

Given that the mean of $7$ numbers is $81$. Let us denote the numbers by $X_1, \ldots . X_7$
If $\overline{\text{X}}$ be the mean of the n observations $X_1, \ldots X_n$, then we have
$\overline{\text{X}}=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{\text{i}=1}^{\text{n}}\text{x}_\text{i}$
$\Rightarrow\sum_{\text{i}=1}^{\text{n}}\text{x}_\text{i}=\text{n}\overline{\text{X}}$
Hence the sum of $7$ numbers is
$\sum_{\text{i}=1}^{7}\text{x}_\text{i}=7\times81=567$
If one number is discarded then the mean becomes $78$ and the total numbers become $6.$
Let the number discarded is $x.$
After discarding one number the sum becomes $567 - x $ and then the mean is
$\frac{567-\text{x}}{6}$
But it is given that after discarding one number the mean becomes $78.$
Hence we have
$\frac{567-\text{x}}{6}=78$
$\Rightarrow 567 - x = 468$
$\Rightarrow 567 = x + 468$
$\Rightarrow x = 468 = 567$
$\Rightarrow x = 567 - 468$

If the mean of five observations $x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6, x + 8,$ is $11,$ then the mean of first three observations is:
  • $9$
  • B
    $11$
  • C
    $13$
  • D
    None of these.
Answer
Correct option: A.
$9$
Mean of first five observations $=\frac{\text{x}+\text{x}+2+\text{x}+4+\text{x}+6+\text{x}+8}{5}=11$
$⇒ 5x + 20 = 55$
$⇒ x = 7$
$⇒$ First three numbers are $7, 9, 11$
$\text{Mean}=\frac{7+9+11}{3}=\frac{27}{3}=9$

The mean of $50$ observations is $39.$ If one of the observations which was $23$ was replaced by $43,$ the resulting mean will be:
  • A
    $40.3$
  • $39.4$
  • C
    $38.4$
  • D
    $39$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$39.4$

The mean of $50$ observations is $39.$
So sum of these $50$ observations is $50 × 39 = 1950$
After replacing the observation value $23$ by $43,$
Sum becomes $1970$
So the mean is $\frac{1970}{50}=39.4$

The mean of the following data is $8.$
$x$ $3$ $5$ $7$ $9$ $11$ $13$
$y$ $6$ $8$ $15$ $p$ $8$ $4$
Then, the value of $p$ is:
  • A
    $23$
  • B
    $24$
  • $25$
  • D
    $21$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$25$
For calculating the mean, we prepare the table below:
$x_i$ $f_i$ $x_i \times f_i$
$3$ $6$ $18$
$5$ $8$ $40$
$7$ $15$ $105$
$9$ $p$ $9p$
$11$ $8$ $88$
$13$ $4$ $52$
  $\sum\text{f}_\text{i}=(41+\text{p})$ $\sum(\text{x}_\text{i}\times\text{f}_\text{i})=(303+9\text{p})$
Mean $=\frac{\sum(\text{x}_\text{i}\times\text{f}_\text{i})}{\sum\text{f}_\text{i}}=\frac{303+9\text{p}}{41+\text{p}}$
But mean $= 8$
$=\frac{303+9\text{p}}{41+\text{p}}=8$
$\Rightarrow303+9\text{p}=8(41+\text{p})$
$\Rightarrow303+9\text{p}=328+8\text{p}$
$\Rightarrow\text{p}=25$

Let $\bar{x}$ be thae mean of $x_1, x_2, \ldots . ., x_n$, and $\bar{y}$ the mean of $y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_n$. If $\bar{z}$ is the mean of $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n, y_1, y_2, \ldots, y n$, then $\bar{z}$ is equal to:
  • A
    $\bar{\text{x}}+\bar{\text{y}}$
  • $\frac{\bar{\text{x}}+\bar{\text{y}}}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\bar{\text{x}}+\bar{\text{y}}}{\text{n}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\bar{\text{x}}+\bar{\text{y}}}{2\text{n}}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{\bar{\text{x}}+\bar{\text{y}}}{2}$
We have $\bar{\text{x}}$ is the mean of $x_1, x_2, \ldots ., x_n$, and $\bar{y}$ is the mean of $y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_n$
So, $\bar{\text{x}}=\frac{(\text{x}_1+\text{x}_2+\text{x}_3+\ ....\ +\text{x}_\text{n})}{\text{n}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}_1+\text{x}_2+\text{x}_3+\ .....\ +\text{x}_\text{n}=\text{n}\bar{\text{x}}$
And $\bar{\text{y}}=\frac{(\text{y}_1+\text{y}_2+\text{y}_3+\ ....\ +\text{y}_\text{n})}{\text{n}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}_1+\text{y}_2+\text{y}_3+\ ....\ +\text{y}_\text{n}=\text{n}\bar{\text{y}}$
If $\bar{\text{z}}$ is the mean of $x_1, x_2, ...., y_1, y_2, , ... , y_n$
$\overline{ z }=\frac{ n \overline{ x }+ n \overline{ y }}{ n + n }=\frac{ n (\overline{ x }+\overline{ y })}{2 n }=\frac{\overline{ x }+\overline{ y }}{2}$

The mean of $a, b, c, d$ and e is $28.$ If the mean of $a, c,$ and e is $24$, What is the mean of $b$ and $d?$
  • A
    $31$
  • B
    $32$
  • C
    $33$
  • $34$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$34$

$\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}+\text{d}+\text{e}}{5}=28$
$⇒ a + b + c + d + e = 140 ...(1)$
Also, $\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{a}+\text{c}+\text{e}}{3}=24$
$⇒ a+ c + e = 72 ...(2)$
Subtracting equation $(2)$ from $(1),$ we have
$b + d = 68$
$\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{b}+\text{d}}{2}=\frac{68}{2}=34$

Write the correct answer in the following: The mean of $25$ observations is $36$. Out of these observations if the mean of first $13$ observations is $32$ and that of the last $13$ observations is $40$, the $13^{th}$ observation is:
  • A
    $23$
  • $36$
  • C
    $38$
  • D
    $40$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$36$

Mean of first $13$ observation $= 32$
$\therefore$ Sum of all first $13$ observation $= (32 \times 13) = 416$
Mean of last $13$ observation $= 40$
$\therefore$ Sum of all last $13$ observation $= (40 \times 13) = 520$
Mean of $25$ observation $= 36$
$\therefore$ Sum of all first $25$ observation $= (36 \times 25) = 900$
Hence, $13^{th}$ observation $= 416 + 520 - 900 = 36$

If each observation of the data is increased by $3,$ then their mean:
  • A
    Becomes $3$ times the original mean.
  • Is increased by $3.$
  • C
    Remains the same.
  • D
    Is decreased by $3.$
Answer
Correct option: B.
Is increased by $3.$

Since mean is equal to the sum of all the values in the data set divided by the number of values in the data set.
So increase in the value of each observation will also increase the mean (average) by $3.$
