The median of the numbers $4, 4, 5, 7, 6, 7, 7, 12, 3$ is:
  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $5$
  • $6$
  • D
    $7$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$6$

Arranging the points in an ascending order,
We have:
$3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 12$
Here, $n = 9$, Which is odd
$\therefore\ $median score = value of $\frac{1}{2}(9+1)^\text{th}$ terms
= value of $\Big(\frac{1}{2}\times10\Big)^\text{th}$ term
= value of 5$^{th}$ term
= $6$

The class marks of a frequency distribution are given as follows $15, 20, 25$ the class corresponding to the class mark $20$ is:
  • A
    $18.5 - 21.5$
  • B
    $19.5 - 20.5$
  • C
    $12.5 - 17.5$
  • $17.5 - 22.5$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$17.5 - 22.5$

Clearly, lower limit of the class corrseponding to class mark $20$
$=\frac{\text{Class mark of precending class + 20}}{2}$
$=\frac{15+20}{2}=17.5$
Uppar limit of the class corresponding to the class mark $20$
$=\frac{\text{20 + Class mark of succeending class}}{2}$
$=\frac{20+25}{2}=\frac{45}{2}=22.5$
Hence the required class is $17.5 - 22.5$.

Write the correct answer in the following: 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
    $53.5$
  • $56.5$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$56.5$
Given, $n = 50$, then mean $\bar{\text{x}}=\frac{\sum\limits^{\text{n}}_{\text{i}=1}\text{x}_\text{i}}{\text{n}}$
Then, $\bar{\text{x}}=\frac{1}{50}\times\sum\limits^{50}_{\text{i}=1}\text{x}_\text{i}$
$\Rightarrow\sum\limits^{50}_{\text{i}=1}\text{x}_\text{i}=50\bar{\text{x}}$
Now, subtract each observation from $53$, we get a new mean say $\bar{\text{x}}_\text{new}$
$\therefore\ \bar{\text{x}}_\text{new}=\frac{(-\text{x}_1+53)+(-\text{x}_2+53)\ +\ .....\ +(-\text{x}_{50}+53)}{50}$
$\Rightarrow-3.5=\frac{-(\text{x}_1+\text{x}_2\ +\ .....\ +\text{x}_{50})+(53+53\ +\ ....\ +50\text{times})}{50}$
$\Rightarrow-3.5\times50=(-\text{x}_1+\text{x}_2+\ ....\ +\text{x}_{50})+53\times50$
$\therefore$ Mean of $50$ observation $=\frac{1}{50}\sum\limits^{50}_{\text{i}=1}\text{x}_{\text{i}}$
$=\frac{1}{50}\times2852=56.5$ $\Bigg[\because\text{ mean}=\frac{\sum\limits^{\text{n}}_{\text{i}=1}\text{x}_\text{i}}{\text{n}}\Bigg]$
Hence, the mean of given number is $56.5$.

If the mean of $x, x + 3, x + 5, x + 7, x + 10$ is $9$, the mean of the last three observation is:
  • A
    $10\frac{1}{3}$
  • B
    $10\frac{2}{3}$
  • $11\frac{1}{3}$
  • D
    $11\frac{2}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$11\frac{1}{3}$

Mean of $5$ observations $= 9$
$\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$
$\Rightarrow9=\frac{\text{x}+\text{x}+3+\text{x}+5+\text{x}+7+\text{x}+10}{5}$
$\Rightarrow9=\frac{5\text{x}+18}{5}$
$\Rightarrow45=5\text{x}+18$
$\Rightarrow5\text{x}=20$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=4$
So, the mean of the last three observations
$=\frac{\text{x}+5+\text{x}+7+\text{x}+10}{3}$
$=\frac{4+5+4+7+4+10}{3}$
$=\frac{34}{3}$
$=11\frac{1}{3}$

Write the correct answer in the following: Let m be the mid-point and $l$ be the upper class limit of a class in a continuous frequency distribution. The lower class limit of the class is:
  • A
    $2m + l$
  • $2m - l$
  • C
    $m - l$
  • D
    $m - 2l$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$2m - l$
Let $x$ and $y$ be the lower and upper class limit of a continuous frequency distribution.
Now, mid-point of a class $=\frac{(\text{x}+\text{y})}{2}=\text{m}$ [given]
$\Rightarrow x + y = 2m = x + l = 2m$
$\big[\therefore$ $y = l =$ upper class limit (given)$\big]$
$\Rightarrow x = 2m - l$
Hence, the lower class limit of the class is $2m - l$.

The width of each of nine classes in a frequency distribution is $2.5$ and the lower class boundary of the lowest class $10.6$. Then the upper class boundary of the highest class is:
  • A
    $28.1$
  • $33.1$
  • C
    $35.6$
  • D
    $30.6$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$33.1$

Number of classes $= 9$
Lower limit of the lowest class $= 10.6$
Width of each class $= 2.5$
So, Upper limit of the lowest class $= 10.6 + 2.5 = 13.1$
Now, Upper limit of the lowest class + Width of each class = Upper limit of the next class
Thus, we have
Upper limit of the lowest class + $8 \times $ width of each class = Upper limit of the highest ($9$$^{th}$) class
Upper limit of the highest (9$^{th}$) class $= 13.1 + 8 \times 2.5 = 33.1$

Let $\bar{x}$ be the mean of $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n$ and $\bar{y}$ be the mean of $y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_n$. If $\bar{z}$ is the mean of $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n, y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_n$ then $\overline{ z }=?$
  • A
    $(\bar{\text{x}}+\bar{\text{y}})$
  • $\frac{1}{2}(\bar{\text{x}}+\bar{\text{y}})$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\text{n}}(\bar{\text{x}}+\bar{\text{y}})$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2\text{n}}(\bar{\text{x}}+\bar{\text{y}})$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{1}{2}(\bar{\text{x}}+\bar{\text{y}})$

Since $\bar{z}$ is the mean of $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n, y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_n$
$\overline{ z }=\frac{\left( x _1+ x _2+\ldots+ x _{ n }\right)+\left( y _1+ y _2+\ldots y _{ n }\right)}{2 n }$
Since $\overline{ x }$ is the mean of $x _1, x _2, \ldots, x _{ n }$,
$\overline{ x }=\frac{ x _1+ x _2+\ldots+ x _{ n }}{ n }$
$\Rightarrow x _1+ x _2+\ldots+ x _{ n }= n \overline{ x }$
Since $\bar{y}$ is the mean of $y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_n$,
$\overline{ y }=\frac{ y _1+ y _2+\ldots+ y _{ n }}{ n }$
$\Rightarrow y _1+ y _2+\ldots+ y _{ n }= n \overline{ y }$
so,
$\overline{ z }=\frac{ n \overline{ x }}{2 n }+\frac{ n \overline{ y }}{2 n }=\frac{ n \overline{ x }+ n \overline{ y }}{2 n }$
$=\frac{\overline{ x }+\overline{ y }}{2}$

Write the correct answer in the following: If each observation of the data is increased by $5$, then their mean:
  • A
    Remains the same.
  • B
    Becomes $5$ times the original mean.
  • C
    Is decreased by $5$.
  • Is increased by $5$.
Answer
Correct option: D.
Is increased by $5$.

Let $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n$ be the $n$ observation,
Then, old mean $\bar{\text{x}}_{\text{old}}=\frac{\sum\limits_{\text{i}=1}^\text{n}\text{x}_\text{i}}{\text{n}}\ \dots(\text{i})$
Now, adding $5$ in each obsevation, the new mean becomes
$\bar{\text{x}}_{\text{new}}=\frac{(\text{x}_1+5)+(\text{x}_2+5)+\ ...\ +(\text{x}_\text{n}+5)}{\text{n}}$
$\Rightarrow\ \bar{\text{x}}_{\text{new}}=\frac{(\text{x}_1+\text{x}_2+\ ...\ +\text{x}_\text{n})+5\text{n}}{}$
$\Rightarrow\ \bar{\text{x}}_{\text{new}}=\frac{\sum\limits_{\text{i}=1}^\text{n}\text{x}_\text{i}}{\text{n}}+5=\bar{\text{x}}_{\text{old}}+5$ [from Eq. $(i)$]
$\Rightarrow\ \bar{\text{x}}_\text{new}=\bar{\text{x}}_{\text{old}}+5$
Hence, the new mean is increased by $5$.

Out of sixteen observations arranged in an ascending order, the $8$$^{th}$ and $9$$^{th}$ observations are $25$ and $27$. Then, the median is:
  • A
    $26.5$
  • B
    $25$
  • $26$
  • D
    $27$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$26$
The median is the middle score for a set of data that has been arranged in ascending or descending order of magnitude.
If the number of observation is even (as in this example), then the median is the average of two middle numbers
Hence, the average of $25$ and $27$ is $\frac{25+27}{2}=26$
So the median is $26$.

Class mark of a particular class is $9.5$ and the class size is $6$, then the class interval is:
  • $6.5 - 12.5$
  • B
    $15.5 - 27.5$
  • C
    $3.5 - 15.5$
  • D
    $12.5 - 18.5$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$6.5 - 12.5$

Class mark $=\frac{\text{upper limit+lower limit}}{2}$
$2 \times 9.5$ = upper limit + lower limit
$19$ = upper limit + lower limit
Class size = upper limit - lower limit
$6$ = upper limit - lower limit
Solving above two equations we get,
$2 \times $ upper limit $= 25$
upper limit $= 12.5$
Hence, lower lower limit $= 12.5 - 6 = 6.5$
So, the class interval is$ 6.5 - 12.5$.

The mean of five numbers is $30$. If one number is excluded, their mean becomes $28$. The excluded number is:
  • A
    $35$
  • $38$
  • C
    $28$
  • D
    $30$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$38$

Let $a, b, c, d$ and $e$ are five numbers, then
Mean $=\frac{\text{(a + b + c + d + e)}}{5}=30$
$\Rightarrow (a + b + c + d + e) = 150 ..... (1)$
Now Let the number excluded be a
Then new mean $=\frac{\text{(b + c + d + e)}}{4}=28$
$\Rightarrow (b + c + d + e) = 112$
Putting this value in $(1)$
$\Rightarrow a + 112 = 150$
$\Rightarrow a = 150 - 112 = 38$
$\therefore$ Excluded number $= 38$

The mean of a set of seven numbers is $81$. If one of the numbers is discarded, the mean of the remaining numbers is $78$. The value of discarded number is:
  • A
    $98$
  • $99$
  • C
    $100$
  • D
    $101$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$99$
$\text{Mean}=81=\frac{\text{Sum of seven numbers}}{7}$
$\Rightarrow $ Sum of seven numbers $= 81 \times 7 = 567$.
Let the discared number be $x$.
$\Rightarrow $ Sum of $6$ numbers $= 567 - x$
Now, mean of remaining $6$ numbers $=\frac{567-\text{x}}{6}=78$
$\Rightarrow 567 - x = 468$
$\Rightarrow x = 99$
So, discarded number is $99$.

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
    $52$
  • B
    $50.5$
  • C
    $51.5$
