If the range of $14, 12, 17, 18, 16, x$ is $20$ and $x > 0,$ the value of $x$ is:
  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $28$
  • $32$
  • D
    Cannot be determined
Answer
Correct option: C.
$32$

Range is the difference between the smallest value and largest value of the data set.
given data set is $14, 12, 17, 18, 16, x$ and Range is given as $20$ In the given set the smallest value is $12$ and the largest value is $18.$
$\therefore$ the range is $18 - 12 = 6 \neq$ hence, $18$ is not the largest value. Variable $x$ is the largest value.
$\therefore$ range is $x - 12 = 20$
$\Rightarrow x = 20 + 12 = 32$

MCQ 61 Mark
A bag contains $4$ green balls, $4$ red balls and $2$ blue balls. If a ball is drawn from the bag, the probability of getting neither green nor red ball is:
  • A
    $\frac{2}{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{5}$
  • $\frac{1}{5}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{1}{5}$

The probability of getting neither green nor red ball is equal to the probability of getting blue balls.
Number of blue balls $= 2$
Total number of balls $= 4 + 4 + 2 = 10$
Therefore
Probability of getting neither green nor red ball $=\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}$
Hence, the correct option is $(d).$

In a school, only $2$ out of $5$ students can participate in a quiz. What is the chance that a student picked at random makes it to the competition?
  • A
    $20\%$
  • $40\%$
  • C
    $50\%$

Answer
Correct option: B.
$40\%$

Total number of outcomes = Total number of students $= 5$
Number of possible outcomes = Students participating in a quiz $= 2$
$\therefore\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of possible outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}=\frac{2}{5}$
to To find percentage, we havemultiply it by hundred $=\frac{2}{5}\times100=40\%$

sum of seven numbers $= 39.2 \times 7 = 274.4$
$\therefore$ Eight number $= 307.2 - 274.4 = 32.8$

The arithmetic mean of the squares of first $n$ natural numbers is:
  • A
    $\frac{\text{n+1}}{6}$
  • $\frac{{\text{(n+1}}) ({2}{\text{n+1})}}{6}$
  • C
    $\frac{{\text{n}}^{2} -{1}}{6}$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{{\text{(n+1}}) ({2}{\text{n+1})}}{6}$
Arithmetic mean of squares of first $n$ natural number is,
$ =\frac{ {1}^{2}+{2}^{2}+{3}^{2}+{4}^{2} +.......+{\text{n}}^{2}}{\text{n}}$
$ = \frac{\sum{\text{n}}^{2}}{\text{n}}$
$ = \frac{\text{n}({\text{n+1}})({2}{\text{n+1})}}{{6}{\text{n}}}$
$ =\frac{ ({\text{n+1}})({2}{\text{n+1}})}{6}$

Which of the following is not changed for the observations?
$31, 48, 50, 60, 25, 8, 3x, 26, 32: ($Where $x$ lies between $10$ and $15)$
  • A
    $A.M.$
  • Range
  • C
    Median
  • D
    $Q.D.$
Answer
Correct option: B.
Range

 If $x = 10$ then the observation $3x = 30$
and if $x = 15$ then the observation $3x = 45$
with values between $30$ to $45,$ the Mean, Median and Quartile Deviation will change.
but the range will not change as the highest value among the set of observations $48$
and least value is $8$ and does not depend on the value of $x$

$4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 6, 4$
$(a).$ Data $($in ascending order$) \rightarrow 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6$
Here, $n = 7 ($odd$)$
Median $=$ Value of $\Big(\frac{\text{n+1}}{2}\Big)^\text{th}$ observation $=$ Value of $\Big(\frac{8}{2}\Big)^\text{th}$ observation $= 4$
$\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of observation}}{\text{n}}$
$=\frac{1+2+3+4+4+5+6}{7}$
$=\frac{25}{7}$
$=3.57$
Mode $=$ Most frequent observation $= 4$
Hence,
Mean $\neq$ Median $=$ Mode
$(b).$ Data $($in ascending order$) \rightarrow 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4$
Here, $n = 7 ($odd$)$
Median $=$ Value of $\Big(\frac{\text{n+1}}{2}\Big)^\text{th}$ observation $=$ Value of $\Big(\frac{7+1}{2}\Big)^\text{th}$ observation $= 2$
$\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of observation}}{\text{n}}$
$=\frac{1+2+2+2+3+3+4}{7}$
$=\frac{17}{7}$
$=2.428$
Mode $=$ Most frequent observation $= 2$
Hence,
Mean $\neq$ Median $=$ Mode
$(c).$ Data $($in ascending order$) \rightarrow 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 7, 8$
Here, $n = 7 ($odd$)$
Median $=$ Value of $\Big(\frac{\text{n+1}}{2}\Big)^\text{th}$ observation $=$ Value of $\Big(\frac{7+1}{2}\Big)^\text{th}$ observation $= 3$
$\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of observation}}{\text{n}}$
$=\frac{2+2+3+3+3+7+8}{7}$
$=\frac{28}{7}$
$=4$
Hence,
Mean $\neq$ Median $=$ Mode
$(d).$ Data $($in ascending order$) \rightarrow 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 6$
Here, $n = 7 ($odd$)$
Median $=$ Value of $\Big(\frac{\text{n+1}}{2}\Big)^\text{th}$ observation $=$ Value of $\Big(\frac{7+1}{2}\Big)^\text{th}$ observation $= 4$
$\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of observation}}{\text{n}}$

The mean of $100$ items was found to be $30.$ If two observation were wrongly taken as $32$ and $12$ instead of $23$ and $11$, find the correct mean:
  • A
    $29.4$
  • B
    $29.5$
  • C
    $29.8$
  • $29.9$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$29.9$

 The total no. of observations are $100$ The mean of those observations are $30$
So The sum of observations is $30 \times 100 = 3000$ the wrong observations are $32$ and $12$ those are to be subtracted from sum of observations
So, $3000 - 32 - 12 = 2956$ the correct observations are $23$ and $11$ those are to be added
so, $2956 + 23 + 11 = 2990$ the mean is given by.
$ = \frac{2990}{100} = {29.9}$

The average maximum temperature for $7$ days from the $12th$ September to $18th$ September is $35^\circ C$ and that for $7$ days from $13th$ to $19th$ September is $34^\circ C.$ From this we can conclude that:
  • A
    Maximum temperature on $19th$ is $1^\circ C$ less than that for $12th$ September
  • B
    Maximum temperature on $12th$ is $1^\circ C$ less than that for $19th$ September
  • Maximum temperature on $19th$ is $7^\circ C$ less than that for $12th$ September
  • D
    None of the above
Answer
Correct option: C.
Maximum temperature on $19th$ is $7^\circ C$ less than that for $12th$ September

The average maximum temp from $12th$ sept to $18th$ sept is $35$ and The average maximum temp from $13th$ sept to $19th$ sept is $34$ then total temp from $12th$ sept to $18th$ sept $= 35 \times 7 = 245$ and total temp from $13th$ sept to $19th$ sept $= 34 \times 7 = 238$ then diff $= 245 - 238 = 7$ so Maximum temperature on $12th$ is $7^\circ $ less than that for $19th$ September. $77$

A boat costs $x$ dollars, and this cost is to be shared equally by a group of people. In terms of $x,$ how many dollars less will each person contribute if there are $4$ people in the group instead of $3?$
  • $\frac{\text{x}}{12}$
  • B
    $\frac{\text{x}}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{\text{x}}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{{7}{\text{x}}}{12}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{\text{x}}{12}$

If there are three people each pays $\frac{\text{x}}{3}$
if there are four people each pays $\frac{\text{x}}{4}$
the difference $ = \frac{\text{x}}{3} - \frac{\text{x}}{4} = \frac{{4}{\text{x-3x}}}{12} = \frac{\text{x}}{12} $

The mean of three numbers is $40.$ All the three numbers are different natural numbers. If lowest is $19,$ what could be highest possible number of remaining two numbers$?$
  • $81$
  • B
    $40$
  • C
    $100$
  • D
    $71$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$81$
Mean of three numbers $= 40$ and lowest number $= 19...[$given$]$
Let the three observations be $19, x$ and $y,$ respectively.
$\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observations}}$
$\Rightarrow40=\frac{19+\text{x}+\text{y}}{3} [ \because$ mean $= 40,$ given$]$
$\Rightarrow3\times40=19+\text{x}+\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow120=19+\text{x}+\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}+\text{y}=120-19$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}+\text{y}=101\ ...(\text{i})$
Since, $19$ is the lowest observation.
Hence, for highest possible value of remaining two numbers, one must be $20.$
Let $x = 20$
From Eq$.(i),$ we get
$20 + y = 101$
$⇒ y = 101 - 20$
$⇒ y = 81$

Find the mean of the data $10, 15, 17, 19, 20$ and $21:$
  • A
    $11$
  • B
    $16$
  • $18$
  • D
    $21$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$18$
Data observations are$: 10, 15, 17, 19, 20$ and $21$
mean $ = \frac{\text{Sum}}{\text{Number}}$
mean $ = \frac {10+15+17+19+20+21}{6}$
mean $ = \frac{102}{6} = 17$
Since, the number of observations are even, the median will be the mean of the two middle observations:
median $ = \frac{{3}^{\text{rd}} + {4}^{\text{th}}}{2}$
median $= \frac{{17} +{19}}{2}$
median $= {18}$
