The mean of 100 observations is 50. If one of the observations which was 50 is replaced by 150, the resulting mean will be:
  • A
    50.5
  • B
    51
  • C
    51.5
  • D
    52
Answer
  1. 51

Solution:

We have, $\bar{\text{x}}=\frac{\sum\text{x}_\text{i}}{\text{n}}$

$\Rightarrow50=\frac{\sum\text{x}_\text{i}}{100}$

$\Rightarrow\sum\text{x}_\text{i}=50\times100=5,000$

If one of the observation which was 50 is resplaced by 150, then

$\sum\text{x}_\text{i}=5,000-50+150=5100$

Then, the resulting mean $=\frac{5100}{100}=51$

Write the correct answer in the following:
The mean of five numbers is 30. If one number is excluded, their mean becomes 28. The excluded number is:
  • A
    28
  • B
    30
  • C
    35
  • D
    38
Answer
  1. 38

Solution:

Let x1, x2, x3, x4, and xbe five numbers and one of the excluded number be x5,

Given, mean of the numbers = 30

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}_1+\text{x}_2+\text{x}_3+\text{x}_4+\text{x}_5}{5}=30$

$\Rightarrow {\text{x}_1+\text{x}_2+\text{x}_3+\text{x}_4+\text{x}_5}=150$

$\Rightarrow {\text{x}_1+\text{x}_2+\text{x}_3+\text{x}_4}=150-\text{x}_5$

On dividing both sides by 4, we get

$\frac{\text{x}_1+\text{x}_2+\text{x}_3+\text{x}_4}{4}=\frac{150-\text{x}_5}{4}\ \dots(\text{i})$

Given, mean of the numbers = 28

$\therefore\ \frac{150-\text{x}_5}{4}=28$ [from Eq. (i)]

$\Rightarrow 150 -\text{x}_5=112$

$\Rightarrow \text{x}_5=150 -112$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}_5=38$

Hence, the excluded number is 38.

The mean of n observations is $\overline{\text{X}}$ If each observation is multiplied by k, the mean of new observations is:
  • A
    $\overline{\text{X}}+\text{k}$
  • B
    $\overline{\text{X}}-\text{k}$
  • C
    $\frac{\overline{\text{X}}}{\text{k}}$
  • D
    $\text{k}\overline{\text{X}}$
Answer
  1. $\text{k}\overline{\text{X}}$

Solution:

Let us take n observations X1, ...., Xn

If $\overline{\text{X}}$ be the mean of the n observations then we have

$\overline{\text{X}}=\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum_{\text{i}=1}^{\text{n}}\text{X}_{\text{i}}$

$\Rightarrow\sum_{\text{i}=1}^{\text{n}}\text{X}_{\text{i}}=\text{n}\overline{\text{X}}$

Multiply a constant k to each of the observations then observations becomes kXi......kXn

If $\overline{\text{Y}}$ be the mean of the new observations, then we have

$\overline{\text{Y}}=\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum_{\text{i}=1}^{\text{n}}\text{kX}_{\text{i}}$

$=\frac{\text{k}}{\text{n}}\sum_{\text{i}=1}^{\text{n}}\text{X}_{\text{i}}$

$={\text{k}}\cdot=\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum_{\text{i}=1}^{\text{n}}\text{X}_{\text{i}}$

$=\text{k}\overline{\text{X}}$

In a frequency distribution, the mid value of a class is 10 and the width of the class is. The lower limit of the class is:
  • A
    6
  • B
    7
  • C
    8
  • D
    12
Answer
  1. 7

Solution:

Let x and y be the uppel and lower and lower class limit in a frequency distribution.

Now, mid value of a class $\frac{(\text{x}+\text{y})}{2}=10$ [given]

⇒ x + y = 20 ...(i)

Also, given that, width of class x - y = 6 ...(ii)

On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

2x = 20 + 6

⇒ 2x = 26

⇒ x = 13

On putting x = 13 in Eq. (i), we get

13 + y = 20

⇒ y = 7

Hence, the lower limit of the class is 7.

If the mean of x and $\frac{1}{\text{x}}$ is M, then the mean of x2 and $\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}$ is:
  • A
    2M – 1
  • B
    2M + 1
  • C
    2M2 + 1
  • D
    2M2 – 1
Answer
  1. 2M2 – 1

Solution:

Given ,$\frac{\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}}{2}=\text{M}$

Taking square on both sides

$\bigg(\frac{\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}}{2}\bigg)^2=(\text{M})^2$

$\bigg(\text{x}+{\frac{1}{\text{x}}}\bigg)^2=(2\text{M})^2$

$\bigg(\text{x}^2+2+{\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}}\bigg)=(2\text{M})^2$

$\bigg(\text{x}^2+{\frac{1}{\text{x}}}\bigg)^2={4\text{M}^2-2}$

Divide by 2 on both sides to get mean

$\bigg(\frac{\text{x}^2+\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}}{2}\bigg)^2=2\text{M}^2-1$

The mid-value of a class interval is 42. If the class size is 10, then the upper and lower limits of the class are:
  • A
    47 and 37
  • B
    37 and 47
  • C
    37.5 and 47.5
  • D
    47.5 and 37.5
Answer
  1. 47 and 37

Solution:

Let l and m respectively be the lower and upper limits of the class. Then the mid-value of the class is $\frac{\text{l+m}}{2}$ and the class-size is (l - m).

Given that the mid-value of the class is 42 and the class-size is 10. Therefore, we have two equations

$\frac{\text{l+m}}{2}=42$

⇒ l + m = 84,

m - l = 10

Adding the above two equations, we have

(l + m) + (m - l) = 84 + 10

⇒ l + m + m - l = 94

⇒ 2m = 94

⇒ l = 37

Substituting the value of m in the first equation, we have

l + 47 = 84

⇒ l = 84 - 47

⇒ l = 37

Hence, the upper and lower limits of the class are 47 and 37 respectively. Thus, the correct choice is (a).

$\text{Mode}+\frac{3}{2}(\text{Median - Mode})=$
  • A
    Mode
  • B
    Median
  • C
    None of these
  • D
    Mean
Answer
  1. Mean

Solution:

3 Median = 2 Mean + Mode

⇒ 3 Median – Mode = 2 Mean

$\Rightarrow\text{Mean}=\frac{3}{2}\text{ Median }-\frac{\text{Mode}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow\text{Mean}+\frac{3}{2}\text{ Median }-\frac{\text{Mode}}{2}-\text{Mode = Mean}$

$\Rightarrow\text{Mean}+\frac{3}{2}\text{(Median - }\text{Mode) = Mean}$

The mean of n observations is $\overline{\text{X}}.$ If each observation is multiplied by k, the mean of new observations is:
  • A
    $\text{k}\overline{\text{X}}$
  • B
    $\frac{\overline{\text{X}}}{\text{k}}$
  • C
    $\overline{\text{X}}+\text{k}$
  • D
    $\overline{\text{X}}-\text{k}$
Answer
  1. $\text{k}\overline{\text{X}}$

Solution:

$\text{Mean}=\overline{\text{X}}=\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observations}}$

$=\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{n}}$

if each observation is multiplied by k, then

$\text{New Mean},\overline{\text{X'}}=\frac{(\text{Sum of all observations})\text{k}}{\text{n}}$

$\Rightarrow\overline{\text{X}'}=\text{k}\overline{\text{X}}$

        Median of B = Mode of A.
      • B
        Mean of A = Mode of C.
      • C
        Mean, Median and Mode of A are equal.
      • D
        Mean of C = Median of B.
      Answer
      1. Mean, Median and Mode of A are equal.

      Solution:

      For the data A: 2, 3, 7, 1, 3, 2, 3, of 7 numbers, we have

      Mean $=\frac{2+3+7+1+3+2+3}{7}=\frac{21}{7}=3$

      Arranging the data A in ascending orer we have 

      A: 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 7

      Median $=\Big(\frac{7+1}{2}\Big)^\text{th}$ Value

      = 4th value = 3

      Since, 3 occurs maximum number of times, Mode = 3

      Mean = Median = Mode

      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 13th observation is:
      • A
        38
      • B
        36
      • C
        23
      • D
        40
      Answer
      1. 36

      Solution:

      Given, Mean of 25 observations = 36

      $\therefore$ Sum of 25 observations = 36 × 25 = 900

      Now, the mean of first 13 observations = 32

      $\therefore$ Sum of first 13 observations = 13 × 32 = 416

      and the Mean of last 13 observations = 40

      $\therefore$ Sum of last 13 observations = 40 × 13 = 520

      So, 13th observation = (Sum of last 13 observations + Sum of first 13 observations) - (Sum of 25 observations)

      = (520 + 416) - 900 = 936 - 900 = 36

      Hence, the 13th observation is 36.

      The traffic police recorded the speed $\big(\text{ in }\frac{\text{km}}{\text{h}}\big)$ of 10 motorists as 48, 52, 57, 55, 42, 39, 60, 49, 53 and 47. Later an error in recording instrument was found. If the instrument has recorded the speed $\frac{5\text{km}}{\text{h}}$ less in each case, then the correct average speed of the motorists is:
      • A
        $\frac{50.2\text{km}}{\text{h}}$
      • B
        $\frac{54.5\text{km}}{\text{h}}$
      • C
        $\frac{55.2\text{km}}{\text{h}}$
      • D
        $\frac{52.5\text{km}}{\text{h}}$
      Answer
      1. $\frac{55.2\text{km}}{\text{h}}$

      Solution:

      Sum of all the recorded speeds is

      48 + 52 + 57 + 55 + 42 + 39 + 60 + 49 + 53 + 47 = 502

      Because of the error, $\frac{5\text{km}}{\text{h}}$ in each case

      The sum increases by 50 i.e., 552

      So the average speed of 10 vehicle is $\frac{55.2\text{km}}{\text{h}}$

      Solution:

      The data is given to be in an ascending order,

      Here, n = 10, which is even

      $\therefore\ $Median = mean of $\Big(\frac{10}{2}\Big)^\text{th}$ and $\Big(\frac{10}{2}+1\Big)^\text{th}$ term

      = mean of 5th and 6th terms

      $\frac{1}{2}\Big[(\text{x}+2)+(\text{x}+4)\Big]$

      $=\frac{1}{2}\big[2\text{x}+6\big]$

      But median = 24

      $\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\big[2\text{x}+6\big]=24$

      $\Rightarrow2\text{x}+6=48$
