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:
  • A
    $35$
  • B
    $50$
  • $40$
  • D
    $45$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$40$

The 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,
$35=\frac{30+\text{x}}{2}$
$70=30+\text{x}$

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
    $35$
  • $38$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$38$

Let $x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4$, 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 $38$.

Answer
Correct option: D.
$\text{k}\overline{\text{X}}$

Let us take n observations $X_1, \ldots, X_n$
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 $kXi . \ldots \ldots kX_{N}$
If $\overline{\text{Y}}$ be the mean of the new observations, then we have
$\overline{\text{Y}}=\frac{1}{\text{n}}\sum_{\text{i}=1}^{\text{n}}\text{kX}_{\text{i}}$
$=\frac{\text{k}}{\text{n}}\sum_{\text{i}=1}^{\text{n}}\text{X}_{\text{i}}$

$7$

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]
$\Rightarrow x + y = 20 ...(i)$
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 $7$.

$\bigg(\text{x}^2+2+{\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}}\bigg)=(2\text{M})^2$
$\bigg(\text{x}^2+{\frac{1}{\text{x}}}\bigg)^2={4\text{M}^2-2}$
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 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:
  • A
    $38$
  • $36$
  • C
    $23$
  • D
    $40$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$36$

Given, 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 $d$?
  • A
    $33$
  • $34$
  • C
    $32$
  • D
    $31$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$34$

Given 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 $37.5$
Answer
Correct 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 $(a)$.
