The following observations have been arranged in ascending order: $18, 20, 25, 26, 30, x, 37, 38, 39, 48$.
If the median of the data is $35$, then the value of $x$ is:
AnswerThe median is the middle score for a set of data that has been arranged in ascending or descending order of magnitude.
For even number of observations, the median is calculated as an average of two middle numbers.
For the given example $30$ and $x$ are in the middle and the median is $35$.
So,
$35=\frac{30+\text{x}}{2}$
$70=30+\text{x}$
$\text{x}=40$

AnswerThe given data is $0, 2, 2, 2, -3, 5, -1, 5, 5, -3, 6, 6, 5$ and $6$.
Arranging the given data in ascending order, we have
$-3, -3, -1, 0, 2, 2, 2, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6$
Here, the number of observation $n = 14$, which is an even number.
Hence, the median is
$\frac{\Big(\frac{\text{n}}{2}\Big)^\text{th}\text{ observation }+{\Big(\frac{\text{n}}{2}+1\Big)}^\text{th}\text{ observation }}{2}$
$=\frac{\Big(\frac{14}{2}\Big)^\text{th}\text{ observation }+{\Big(\frac{14}{2}+1\Big)}^\text{th}\text{ observation }}{2}$
$=\frac{7^\text{th}\text{ observation }+8^\text{th}\text{ observation }}{2}$

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:
AnswerLet $x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4$, and $x_5$ be five numbers and one of the excluded number be $x_5$,
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 $38$.

Write the correct answer in the following: 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:
AnswerLet $x$ 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]
$\Rightarrow x + y = 20 ...(i)$
Also, given that, width of class$ x - y = 6 ...(ii)$
On adding Eqs. $(i)$ and $(ii)$, we get
$2x = 20 + 6$
$\Rightarrow 2x = 26$
$\Rightarrow x = 13$
On putting $x = 13$ in Eq. $(i)$, we get
$13 + y = 20$
$\Rightarrow y = 7$
Hence, the lower limit of the class is $7$.

The mean weight of six boys in a group is $48\ kg$. The individual weights of five of them are $51\ kg, 45\ kg, 49\ kg, 46\ kg$ and $44\ kg$. The weight of the $6th$ boy is:
- A
$52\ kg$
- B
$52.8\ kg$
- ✓
$53\ kg$
- D
$47\ kg$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $53\ kg$
Mean weight of six boys $= 48\ kg$
Let the weight of the $6th$ boy be $x\ kg$.
We know:
Mean $=\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total Number of observations}}$
$=\frac{51+45+49+46+44+\text{x}}{6}$
$=\frac{235+\text{x}}{6}$
Given,
Mean $= 48\ kg$
$=\frac{235+\text{x}}{6}=48$
$\Rightarrow235+\text{x}=288$
Hence, the weight of the $6th$ boy is $53\ kg$.

- A
$20, 22, 24$
- ✓
$18, 20, 22$
- C
$14, 16, 18$
- D
$16, 18, 20$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $18, 20, 22$
Let the three consecutive even integers be$- x, x + 2, x + 4$
$\frac{\text{x}+\text{x}+2\text{x}+4}{3}=20$
$\frac{3\text{x}+6}{3}=20$
$3\text{x}+6=60$
$3\text{x}=54$
$\text{x}=18$
So the three numbers are $18, 20, 22$.

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 $13\ th$ observation is:
AnswerGiven, Mean of $25$ observations $= 36$
$\therefore$ Sum of $25$ observations $= 36 \times 25 = 900$
Now, the mean of first $13$ observations $= 32$
$\therefore$ Sum of first $13$ observations $= 13 \times 32 = 416$
and the Mean of last $13$ observations $= 40$
$\therefore$ Sum of last $13$ observations $= 40 \times 13 = 520$
So, $13\ th$ observation = (Sum of last $13$ observations + Sum of first $13$ observations) - (Sum of $25$ observations)
$= (520 + 416) - 900 = 936 - 900 = 36$
Hence, the $13\ th$ observation is $36$.

The mean of $a, b, c, d$ and $e$ is $28$. If the mean of $a, c,$ and $e$ is $24$, what is the mean of $b$ and $d$?
AnswerGiven that the mean of $a, b, c, d$ and $e$ is $28$. They are $5$ in numbers.
Hence, we have
$\frac{\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}+\text{d}+\text{e}}{5}=28$
$\Rightarrow\frac{(\text{a}+\text{c}+\text{e})+(\text{b}+\text{d})}{5}=28$
$\Rightarrow\frac{(\text{a}+\text{c}+\text{e})}{5}+\frac{(\text{b}+\text{d})}{5}=28$
But, it is given that the mean of $a, c$ and $e$ is $24$. Hence, we have
$\Rightarrow\frac{(\text{a}+\text{c}+\text{e})}{5}=24$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}+\text{c}+\text{e}=72$
Then We have
$\frac{72}{5}+\frac{(\text{b}+\text{d})}{5}=28$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{b}+\text{d}}{5}=28-\frac{72}{5}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{b}+\text{d}}{5}=28-14.4$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{b}+\text{d}}{5}=13.6$
$\Rightarrow\text{b}+\text{d}=68$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{b}+\text{d}}{2}=\frac{68}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{b}+\text{d}}{2}=34$
Hence, the mean of $b$ and $d$ is $34$.

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:
- ✓
$47$ and $37$
- B
$37$ and $47$
- C
$37.5$ and $47.5$
- D
$47.5$ and $37.5$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $47$ and $37$
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
$\frac{\text{l+m}}{2}=42$
$\Rightarrow l + m = 84,$
$m - l = 10$
Adding the above two equations, we have
$(l + m) + (m - l) = 84 + 10$
$\Rightarrow l + m + m - l = 94$
$\Rightarrow 2m = 94$
$\Rightarrow l = 37$
Substituting the value of $m$ in the first equation, we have
$l + 47 = 84$
$\Rightarrow l = 84 - 47$
$\Rightarrow l = 37$
Hence, the upper and lower limits of the class are $47$ and $37$ respectively.
Thus, the correct choice is $(a)$.
