Question 115 Marks
The heights of $10$ girls were measured in $cm$ and the results are as follows:
$135, 150, 139, 128, 151, 132, 146, 149, 143, 141.$
$i.$ 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
We will arrange the data in the ascending order
Thus, the heights of the ten girls can be arranged in ascending order as follows:
$128, 132, 135, 139, 141, 143, 146, 149, 150, 151$
$i.$ Here, we have to find the height of the tallest girl mentioned in the data.
Hence,
Height of the tallest girl $= 151 \ cm$
$ii.$ Here, we have to find the height of the smallest girl mentioned in the data.
Hence,
Height of the smallest girl $= 128 \ cm$
$iii.$ Here, we have to find the range of the given data.
We know that,
Highest height of girl $= 151 \ mm$
Smallest height of girl $= 128 \ mm$
Therefore, Range $=$ highest height $-$ Smallest height $= 151 - 128 = 23 \ cm$
$iv.$ Here, we have to find the mean height of the girls
First of all we’ll find the sum of all the observations
So, we have sum of all the observations $= 135 + 150 + 139 + 128 + 151 + 132 + 146 + 149 + 143 + 141 = 1414$
Total number of observations $= 10$
Hence,
Mean height $ =\frac{\text { Sum of all observations }}{\text { Number of observations }} = \frac{1414}{10} = 141.4 \ cm$
$v.$ Here, we have to find the number of girls whose heights are greater than the mean height
There were total of five girls whose heights are greater than the mean height
These heights are as follows:
$143, 146, 149, 150$, and $151 \ cm$

Question 125 Marks
The rainfall $($in $mm)$ in a city on $7$ days of a certain week was recorded as follows:
Day Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri Sat Sun
Rainfall $($in $mm)$ $0.0$ $12.2$ $2.1$ $0.0$ $20.5$ $5.5$ $1.0$
$i.$ Find the range of the rainfall in the above data.
$ii.$ Find the mean rainfall for the week.
$iii.$ On how many days was the rainfall less than the mean rainfall
Answer
$i.$ We have to find the range of the given data.
here, Highest rainfall $= 20.5\ mm$
Lowest rainfall $= 0.0\ mm$
Thus, Range $=$ Highest value $–$ Lowest value
Hence, Range of the given data:
Range $=$ highest rainfall $–$ lowest rainfall $= 20.5 – 0.0 = 20.5 \ mm$
$ii.$ Here, We have to find the mean of the rainfall for the week
Clearly, sum of all the observations $= 0.0 + 12.2 + 2.1 + 0.0 + 20.5 + 5.5 + 1.0 = 41.3$
Also, total number of observations $= 7$
Hence,
Mean rainfall $=\frac{\text { Sum of all observations }}{\text { Number of observations }}$
$=\frac{41.3}{7} $
$= 5.9 \ mm$
$iii.$ Here, we have to find the number of days when the rainfall was less than the mean rainfall
Clearly, we can observe that,
For total five days, the rainfall was less than the mean rainfall
These days are as follows:
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday

Question 135 Marks
The marks $($out of $100)$ obtained by a group of students in a science test are $85, 76, 90, 85, 39, 48, 56, 95, 81$ and $75.$ Find the:
$i.$ Highest and lowest marks obtained by the students.
$ii.$ Range of the marks obtained.
$iii.$ Mean marks obtained by the group.
Answer
Here, we will arrange the data in the ascending order
Thus, the marks obtained by the group of students in a science test can be arranged in an ascending order as follows:
$39, 48, 56, 75, 76, 81, 85, 85, 90, 95$
$i.$ Clearly, we can see that
Highest marks $= 95$
Lowest marks $= 39$
$ii.$ We know that,
Range $=$ Highest value $–$ Lowest value
or Range $=$ highest number $-$ lowest number$= 95 - 39 = 56$
$iii.$ Here, sum of all the observations $= 85 + 76 + 90 + 85 + 39 + 48 + 56 + 95 + 81 + 75 = 730$
Total number of observations $= 10$
Therefore,
Arithmetic mean $ =\frac{\text { sum of all observations }}{\text { Number of observations }} = \frac{730}{10} = 73$

Question 145 Marks
Organise the following marks in a class assessment, in a tabular form.
$4, 6, 7, 5, 3, 5, 4, 5, 2, 6, 2, 5, 1, 9, 6, 5, 8, 4, 6, 7$
$i.$ Which number is the highest?
$ii.$ Which number is the lowest?
$iii.$ What is the range of the data?
$iv.$ Find the arithmetic mean.
Answer
We will draw the frequency table of the above given data.
Hence, we have
Marks Tally marks Frequency
$1$ $I$ $1$
$2$ $II$ $2$
$3$ $I$ $1$
$4$ $III$ $3$
$5$ $IIII$ $5$
$6$ $IIII$ $4$
$7$ $II$ $2$
$8$ $I$ $1$
$9$ $I$ $1$
$i.$ Clearly, The highest number among the given data is $9$
$ii.$ The lowest number among the given data is $1$
$iii.$ We know that,
Range $=$ Highest value $–$ Lowest value
Hence,
Range of the given data can be calculated as follows:
Range $=$ highest number $–$ lowest number $= 9 – 1 = 8$
$iv.$ Here,
We have to find the arithmetic mean of the given data
For this, We’ll find the sum of all the observations
So, Sum of all the observations $ = 4 + 6 + 7 + 5 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 5 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 5 + 1 + 9 + 6 + 5 + 8 + 4 + 6 + 7 = 100$
Also, Total number of observations $= 20$
Therefore, Arithmetic mean $=\frac{\text { Sum of all observations }}{\text { Number of observations }}$ $=\frac{100}{20} = 5$
