There are $7$ observations in the data and their mean is $11$. If each observation is multiplied by $2$, then the mean of new observations is:
AnswerMean $= 11$
Number of observations $= 7$
Sum of observations $= 11 \times 7 = 77$
Sum of new observations $= 2 \times 77 = 154$
Mean of new observations $=\frac{154}{7}=22$
Hence, the correct option is $(c).$

The mean of five numbers is $4$. If $1$ is added to each other, then the new mean is:
AnswerMean of five numbers $= 4$
Sum of five numbers $= 5 \times 4 = 20$
$\text{New mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}$
$=\frac{20+1+1+1+1+1}{5}$
$=\frac{25}{5}$
$=5$

The mean of $p, q$ and $r$ is same as the mean of $q, 2r$ and $s$. Then which of the following is correct?
- A
$p = q = r$
- B
$q = r = s$
- C
$q = r$
- ✓
$p = r + s$

Mean of $p, q$ and $r =$ Mean of $q, 2r$ and $s$
$\frac{\text{p+q+r}}{3}=\frac{\text{q+2r+8}}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\text{p + q + r}=\text{q + 2r }+8$
$\Rightarrow\text{p}=\text{r + s}$
Hence, the correct option is $(d).$

The mean weight of $21$ students is $21\ kg$. If a student weighing $21\ kg$ is removed from the group, then the mean of of the remaining students is:
- A
$20\ kg$
- ✓
$21\ kg$
- C
$19\ kg$
- D
$18\ kg$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $21\ kg$
Mean weight $= 21\ kg$
Number of students $= 21$
Sum of weights of $21$ students $= 21 \times 21 = 441$
Sum of weights of $20$ students left $= 441 - 21 = 420$
Mean of remaining students $=\frac{420}{20}=21\text{kg}$
Hence, the correct option is $(b).$

If the mean of observations $7, 8, 9, 11$ and $x$ is $10$, then $x =$
AnswerGiven: the mean of the observations $7, 8, 9, 11$ and $x$ is $10$
Mean of observations $=\frac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}$
$\Rightarrow10=\frac{7+8+9+11+\text{x}}{5}$
$\Rightarrow35 + \text{x} = 50$
$\Rightarrow\text{x} = 50 - 35 = 15$
Thus, the value of $x$ is $15$

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 mean of $10, 15, 19, 30, 43, 69$ and $x$ is $x$. Then the median is:
AnswerThe 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
$10, 15, 19, 30, 31, 43, 69$
Thus, the median is $30$
Hence, the correct option is $(c).$

Mean of observations $=\frac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}$
$\Rightarrow37=\frac{20+42+35+45+\text{x}}{5}$
$\Rightarrow142+\text{x}=185$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=185-142=43$
Thus, the value of $x$ is $43$
