Question 15 Marks
Your friend found the median and the mode of a given data. Describe and correct your friends error if any $35,32,35,42,38,32,34$.
Median $=42$ and Mode $=32$
Answer
On arranging the data in ascending order, we get
$
32,32,34,35,35,38,42
$
Now, arrange the data in tabular form.

It is clear from the above table, that 32 and 35 occur two times.
$\therefore$ Mode $=32$ and 35
In the ascending order, the middle value of data is 35 .
$\therefore$ Median $=35$
Hence, the correct mode are 32 and 35 and median is 35.

Question 75 Marks
Read the bar graph (in the given figure), which shows the number of books sold by a bookstore during five consecutive years and answer the following questions :
Image
(i) About how many books were sold in 1989, 1990 and 1992?
(ii) In which year were about 475 books sold? About 225 books sold?
(iii) In which years were fewer than 250 books sold?
(iv) Can you explain how you would estimate the number of books sold in 1989?
Answer
From the given graph, we have
(i) Number of books sold in $1989=180$ (approx.)
Number of books sold in $1990=475$ (approx.)
Number of books sold in $1992=225$ (approx.)
(ii) About 475 books were sold in the year 1990 and about 225 books were sold in the year 1992.
(iii) In the years 1989 and 1992, fewer than 250 books were sold.
(iv) From the bar graph, it is clear that number of books in the years 1989 is 180 (approx.). We can see in the bar graph that the number of book sold in the year 1989 is little less than 200, but greater than 175 .

Question 105 Marks

The heights of 10 girls were measured (in cm) and the results are as follows

$
\text { 135, 150, 139, 128, 151, 132, 146, 149, 143, } 141 .
$
(i) What is the height of the tallest girl?
(ii) What is the height of the shortest girl?
(iii) What is the range of the data?
(iv) What is the mean height of the girls?
(v) How many girls have heights more than the mean height?
Answer
On arranging the data in ascending order, we get
$
128,132,135,139,141,143,146,149,150,151
$
(i) We can observe from the ascending order of heights that last term is maximum. Thus, height of the tallest $girl =151 cm$
(ii) From ascending order of hights, we observe that first term is minimum.
$\therefore$ Height of the shortest girl $=128 cm$
(iii) From ascending order, we get
Highest value $=151$
Lowest value $=128$
$\therefore$ Range of the data $=$ Highest value - Lowest value
$
=151-128=23
$
(iv) Mean height of the girls
$
\begin{array}{l}
=\frac{\text { Sum of the height of all girls }}{\text { Number of girls }} \\
=\frac{128+132+135+139+141+143+146+149+150+151}{10} \\
=\frac{1414}{10}=141.4 cm
\end{array}
$
Hence, the mean height of the girls is 141.4 cm.
(v) It is clear that we have mean height = 141.4 cm
Hence, 5 girls have more height than the mean height
i.e. 143 cm, 146 cm, 149 cm, 150 cm and 151 cm.

Question 115 Marks
Following table shows the points of each player scored In four games :
PlayersGameGameGameGame
1234
A14161010
B0864
C811Did not play13
Now, answer the following questions :
(i) Find the mean to determine A's average number of points scored per game.
(Ii) To find the mean number of points per game for C, would you divide the total points by 3 or by 4?
Why?
(Iii) B played in all the four games. How would you find the mean?
(Iv) Who Is the best performer?
Answer
(i) From the given table, we have total sum of points of $A$ in all four games of $A=14+16+10+10=50$
A's average number of points scored per game
$
\begin{array}{l}
=\frac{\text { Sum of points in all the four games }}{\text { Number of games }} \\
=\frac{50}{4}=12.5
\end{array}
$
Hence, the average score of $A$ per game is 12.5 .
(ii) To find the mean number of points per game for $C$, we divide the total points by 3 , because $C$ did not play 3rd game.
(iii) B played in all the four games, therefore his mean is calculated by adding all the points in four games and then dividing by 4 .
$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore \quad \text { Mean } & =\frac{\text { Sum of points in four games }}{\text { Number of games }} \\
& =\frac{0+8+6+4}{4}=\frac{18}{4}=4.5
\end{aligned}
$
Hence, the required mean is 4.5 .
(iv) Average number of points scored by $A=12.5$
[as calculated in part (i)]
Average number of points scored by $B=4.5$
[as calculated in part (iii)]
$
\begin{array}{l}
\text { Average of } C^{\prime} s=\frac{\text { Sum of points in games }}{\text { Number of games }} \\
=\frac{8+11+13}{3}=\frac{32}{3}=10.67 \\
\because 12.5>10.67>4.5
\end{array}
$
Hence, $A$ is the best performer.

Question 135 Marks
Study the bar graph given below and answer the questions that follow
Image
(i) What information does the above bar graph represent?
(Ii) In which year was production the least?
(Iii) After which year was the maximum rise in the production?
(iv) Find the average production of rice during the 5 yr.
(v) Find difference of rice productions between the years 2006 and 2008.
Answer
After studying the bar graph, we have
Production of rice in $2005=50$ million tonne
Production of rice in $2006=40$ million tonne
Production of rice in $2007=70$ million tonne
Production of rice in $2008=50$ million tonne
Production of rice in $2009=60$ million tonne
(i) From above calculation, the bar graph shows the production of rice in million tonne by a country during years 2005 to 2009.
(ii) The production of rice in 2006 was the least 40 million tonne.
(iii) The maximum production of rice was in 2007. The production rose after 2006.
(iv) For average production,
$
\begin{array}{l}
\text { Average }=\frac{\text { Sum of observations }}{\text { Number of observations }} \\
\text { Sum of productions }=50+40+70+50+60 \\
\qquad \begin{aligned}
& =270
\end{aligned} \\
\text { Average }=\frac{270}{5}=54 \text { million tonne }
\end{array}
$
(v) Production in $2006=40$ million tonne
Production in $2008=50$ million tonne

Question 155 Marks
The following are weights (in kg) of 12 people. 70, 62, 54, 57, 62, 84, 75, 59, 62, 65, 78, 60
(i) Find the mean of the weights of the people.
(ii) How many people weight above the mean weight?
(iii) Find the range of the given data.
Answer
The weights of 12 people are $70,62,54,57,62,84$, $75,59,62,65,78$ and 60.
Sum of weights of 12 people
$\begin{aligned}=70+62+54+57+62+ & 84+75+59+62 \\ & +65+78+60=788\end{aligned}$
$\therefore$ Mean $=\frac{\text { Sum of observations }}{\text { Number of observations }}=\frac{788}{12}=65.66$
(ii) Weights above 65.66 are 70, 84, 75 and 78 i.e. 4 people.
(iii) Range = Maximum value - Minimum valuе

Question 165 Marks
The mean of 10 observations was calculated as 40. It was detected on rechecking that the value of 45 was wrongly copied as 15. Find the correct mean.
Answer
As per the given information, mean of 10 observations is 40 .
$
\therefore \text { Mean }=\frac{\text { Sum of all observations }}{\text { Number of observations }}
$
$\Rightarrow
40=\frac{\text { Sum of all observations }}{10}$
Sum of all observations $=40 \times 10=400$
But this is incorrect sum. Since, one observation was copied wrongly.
Correct sum = Incorrect sum - Incorrect observation + Correct observation
$\begin{array}{l}=400-15+45=430 \\ \text { Correct mean }=\frac{\text { Correct sum }}{\text { Number of observations }}=\frac{430}{10}=43\end{array}$

Question 245 Marks
Rahul scored of 97, 73 and 80, respectively in his first three examinations. If he scored 70 in the fourth examination, then find how much average score increased/decreased?
Answer
Since, Rahul's scores in three examinations are 97,73 and 80 .
Sum of three scores $=97+73+80=250$
Average of three scores $=\frac{250}{3}=83.33$
If score in fourth examination is 70, then average will be
$
=\frac{250+70}{4}=\frac{320}{4}=80 .
$
Hence, average score decreases by
$
83.33-80=3.33
