The mean of $20$ observations is $12.5$ by error one observation was noted $-15$ instead then the correct mean is:
- A
$11.75$
- B
$11$
- ✓
$14$
- D
$13.25$
Answer Mean of $20$ observation $= 12.5$
sum of $20$ observations $= 12.5 × 20 = 250$
Wrong observation is $-15$ Correct observation is $15$ So,
sum of $20$ observation correctly $= 250 + 15 + 15 = 280$
first $15$ is to eliminate the wrong observation and the other $15$ for adding the correct observation in the data.
correct mean $ = \frac{280}{20} = {14}$

There are $50$ numbers. Each number is subtracted from $53$ and the mean of the numbers so obtained is found to be $3.5.$ The mean of the given numbers is:
- A
$46.5$
- B
$49.5$
- C
$53.5$
- ✓
$56.5$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $56.5$
Total numbers $= 50$
Mean of numbers after subtracting $53$ from each $= 3.5$
Sum of numbers after subtracting $53$ from each $= 3.5 × 50 = 175$
Sum of the original numbers $= 175 + 53 × 50 = 2825$
Mean of the original numbers $ = \frac{2825}{50} = {56.5}$

Mean $= 2.8$ and median $= 3$
- B
Mean $= 2.8$ and median $= 3.8$
- C
Mean $= 2$ and median $= 3$
- D
Mean $= 3.2$ and median $= 3$
AnswerCorrect option: A. Mean $= 2.8$ and median $= 3$
A. Mean $= 2.8$ and median $= 3$
Solution:
Arranging the given data in ascending order, we get $0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5$ Number of observations $= 10$
$\text{mean} = \frac{\text{sum of observations}}{\text{number of observations}}$
$\Rightarrow{\text{mean}} = \frac{0 +1+2+3+3+3+3+4+4+5}{10}$
$\Rightarrow{\text{mean}} =\frac{28}{10} = {2.8}$
Median = Mean of $5^{th}$ and $6^{th}$ observations in ordered data
$\Rightarrow{\text{mean}} = \frac{3+3}{2} = {3}$

Which measures of central tendency get affected if the extreme observations on both the ends of a data arranged in descending order are removed?
AnswerMean is defined as follows:
$\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of observation}}{\text{Number of observations}}$
So, if we remove the extrema values that both sum and total number of observations will change.
Hence, mean wiii aiso change.
Mode is that observation which occurs the most.
So, if extreme value of those values which occurs mostly than mode can affect it they are removed.
Median is the mid value.
So, if extreme values are removed than the mid value remains same.
Hence, median will not change.

If the sum of $10$ observations is $95,$ then their mean is:
Answer Sum of $10$ observations $= 95$
$\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}$
$=\frac{95}{10}$
$=9.5$
Thus, the mean is $9.5$
Hence, the correct option is $(a).$

A coin is tossed $100$ times and head is obtained $59$ times. The probability of getting a tail is:
- A
$\frac{59}{100}$
- ✓
$\frac{41}{100}$
- C
$\frac{29}{100}$
- D
$\frac{43}{100}$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $\frac{41}{100}$
Number of all possible outcomes $= 100$
Number of head obtained $= 59$
Number of tail obtained $($favourable outcomes$) = 100 - 59 = 41$
Therefore
Probability of getting a tail $\frac{41}{100}$
Hence, the correct option is $(b).$

The average age of two brothers is $9$ years. It is increased by $9$ years when their mothers age is also included then the age of mother is:
- A
$35 $ years
- ✓
$36$ years
- C
$37$ years
- D
$38$ years
AnswerCorrect option: B. $36$ years
Given the average age of two brothers is $9$ years
then total age $= 9 \times 2 = 18$ years
If mothers age included the average age $= 9 + 9 = 18$ years
then total age of mother and two brothers $= 18 \times 3 = 54$ years
so age of mother $= 54 - 18 = 36$ years.

- A
$6\leq\text{x}\leq10$
- B
$x < 6$
- C
$x > 18$
- ✓
Either $(a)$ or $(b)$
AnswerCorrect option: D. Either $(a)$ or $(b)$

If the mean of $9, 10, 15, x, 6, 8$ and $12$ is $11.$ The median of the observations is:
AnswerThe mean of $9, 10, 15, x, 6, 8$ and $12$ is $11$
$\therefore\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}$
$\Rightarrow11=\frac{9+10+15+\text{x}+6+8+12}{7}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}+60=77$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=77-60=17$
So, the observations are $9, 10, 15, 17, 6, 8$ and $12$
Arranging the the observations in increasing order, we get
$9, 10, 15, 17, 6, 8, 12$ or $6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 17$
Thus, the median is $10$

The sum of five numbers is $555.$ The average of first two numbers is $75$ and the third number is $115.$ What is the average of the last two numbers$?$
AnswerLet the five numbers be $A, B, C, D, E$
Given, $A + B + C + D + E = 555$
$\frac{\text{A+B}}{2}$ = 75
$\Rightarrow A + B = 150$ and $C = 115$
$\therefore 150 + 115 + D + E = 555$
$\Rightarrow D + E = 555 -265 = 290$
$\Rightarrow $ Required Average $\frac{\text{D+E}}{2} = \frac{290}{2}= 145$

The mean of $10, 15, 19, 30, 43, 69$ and $x$ is $x.$ Then the median is:
Answer The mean of $10, 15, 19, 30, 43, 69$ and $x$ is $x.$
$\therefore\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{10+15+19+30+43+69+\text{x}}{7}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}+186=7\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{186}{6}=31$
Thus, the observations are $10, 15, 19, 30, 43, 69$ and $31$
Arranging the numbers $10, 15, 19, 30, 43, 69$ and $31$ in increasing order, we get
$10, 15, 19, 30, 31, 43, 69$

AnswerArithmetic mean, $A = \frac{\text{S}}{\text{N}} = \frac{6+{\text{p}}+12+8+9}{5} = {9}$
$\frac{{35+}{\text{p}}}{5} = {9}$
$35 + p = 45$
$p = 45 - 35 = 10$

The average of $11, 12, 13, 14,$ and $x$ is $13.$ The value of $x$ is:
Answer$\frac{{11}+{12}+{13}+{14}\text{ - x}}{5} = {13}$
$x = 65 - 50$
$x = 15$

A train travels first $300\ km$ at an average rate of $30\ km$ per hour and further travels the same distance at an average rate of $60\ km$ per hour then the average speed over the whole distance is:
- A
$35\ km$ per hour
- ✓
$40\ km$ per hour
- C
$42\ km$ per hour
- D
$45\ km$ per hour
AnswerCorrect option: B. $40\ km$ per hour
If a train covers a certain distance at $x\ kmph$ and equal distance at $y\ kmph$ than average speed $ =\frac{2\text{xy}}{\text{x+y}}$
here $x = 30\ km$ per hour
$y = 60\ km$ per hour
$\therefore$ average speed $\frac{2\times60\times30}{30+60}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{360}{90} = 40\ km $ per hour

The mean monthly salary of the $12$ employees of a firm is $Rs. 1450.$ If one more person joins the firm who gets $Rs. 1645$ per month, what will be the mean monthly salary of $13$ employees$?$
- ✓
$Rs. 1465$
- B
$Rs. 1954$
- C
$Rs. 2175$
- D
$Rs. 2569$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $Rs. 1465$
Mean salary of $12$ employees $= Rs. 1450$
Sum of salary of $12$ employees $= 12 × 1450 = Rs. 17400$
a new employee joins the firm and he gets, $Rs. 1645$
hence, new sum of salary $= 17400 + 1645 = 19045$
new mean $ = \frac{10045}{13} = {1465}$
the new mean salary of all the employees is $Rs. 1465$

The arithmetic mean of the first $n$ odd numbers is:
- ✓
$\text{n}$
- B
$\frac{\text{n}}{2}$
- C
$\frac{\text{n - 1}}{2}$
- D
$\frac{\text{n + 1}}{2}$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $\text{n}$
First $n$ odd natural numbers are $1, 3, 5, ..., (2n - 1)$
so, the required mean $ = \frac{1+3+5+ .... +({2}{\text{n-1})}}{\text{n}}$
$ = \frac{\text{n}}{2}\frac{[{1+2}{\text{n-1]}}} {\text{n}} = \frac{{\text{n}}^{2}}{\text{n}} = {\text{n}}$

A man drives his car to his office at the rate of $40\ km/$ hour and returns along the same route at the rate of $60\ km/$ hour his average speed in km/ hour for the entire round trip is:
AnswerLet the distance of his office $= x\ km$
$\therefore$ Required Average speed
$ = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total time taken}} = \frac{\text{x}}{40} + \frac{\text{x}}{60} = {48}\frac{\text{km}}{\text{hour}}$
