MCQ 1511 Mark
The combined mean of three groups is 12 and the combined mean of first two groups is 3. If the first, second and third group have their mean as 2, 3 and 5 times respectively, then the mean of third group is:
  • A
    10
  • B
    21
  • C
    12
  • D
    12
Answer
  1. 21

Solution:

Let in common no. in each group is X

Then Member of each group is 2X, 3X and 5X

Total of three group = (2X + 3X + 5X) 12 = 120x

And total of Two group = (2X + 3X)3 = 15X (given mean of two group is 3)

Then total of third group = 120X - 15X = 115X

Mean of third group $ =\frac{115\text{X}}{5\text{X}}=21$

The mean of the following natural numbers 1, 2, 3,...10 is:
  • A
    6.5
  • B
    4.5
  • C
    5.5
  • D
    5.5
Answer
  1. 5.5

Solution:

Numbers are 1, 2, 3,..10

$\text{Sum of the numbers} = {\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}}= \frac{10\times11}{2} = 55$

$\text{Mean} = \frac{55}{10} =5.5$

MCQ 1531 Mark
If for a sample of size 60, we have the following information $\sum\text{x}_\text{i}^2=18000$ and $\sum\text{x}_\text{i}=960$ then the variance is:
  • A
    6.63
  • B
    16
  • C
    22
  • D
    22
Answer
  1. 44

Solution:

Given $\sum\text{x}_\text{i}^2=18000,\ \sum\text{x}_\text{i}=960$ and n = 60

$\therefore$ Variance

$=\frac{\sum\text{x}_\text{i}^2}{\text{n}}-\bigg(\frac{\sum\text{x}_\text{i}}{\text{n}}\bigg)^2$

$=\frac{18000}{60}-\Big(\frac{960}{60}\Big)^2$

$=300-256$

$=44$

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

MCQ 1541 Mark
The mean of 10 observation is 25. If one observation namely 25, is deleted, the new mean is:
  • A
    25
  • B
    20
  • C
    28
  • D
    28
Answer
  1. 25

Solution:

Mean of 1010 observations = 25

Sum of 1010 observations = 25 × 10 = 250

After removing an observation with a value = 25

New sum = 250 - 25 = 225

New $ \text{mean} = \frac{225}{9} = 25$

The mean deviation of the data 3, 10, 10, 4, 7, 10, 5 from the mean is:
  • A
    2
  • B
    2.57
  • C
    3
  • D
    3
Answer
  1. 2.57

Solution:

The given observations are 3, 10, 10, 4, 7, 10, 5.

$\therefore\text{Mean},\ \overline{\text{x}}=\frac{3+10+10+4+7+10+5}{7}=\frac{49}{7}=7$

Now,

Mean deviation from mean, MD

$=\frac{\sum|\text{x}_\text{i}-7|}{7}$

$=\frac{|3-7|+|10-7|+|10-7|+|4-7|+|7-7|+|10-7|+|5-7|}{7}$

$=\frac{4+3+3+3+0+3+2}{7}$

$=\frac{18}{7}$

$=2.57$

Hence, the correct answer is (b).

Values of x are: 9.8, 5.4, 3.7, 1.7, 1.8, 2.6, 2.8, 8.6, 10.5and11.1

$\text{Mean}=\frac{\ \text{Sum}}{\text{Count}}​$

$\text{Mean}=\frac{9.8+5.4+3.7+1.7+1.8+2.6+2.8+8.6+10.5+11.1}{10}​$

$ \text{Mean}=\frac{58}{10}$

$\text{Mean}=5.8$

MCQ 1581 Mark
The average weight of a group of 20 boys was calculated to be 89.4kg and it was later discovered that one weight was misread as 78kg instead of 87kg. The correct average weight is:
  • A
    88.95kg
  • B
    89.25kg
  • C
    89.55kg
  • D
    89.55kg
Answer
  1. 89.85kg

Solution:

Difference in weight = 87 - 78 = 9kg

$ \therefore$ Correct average weight $ = 89.4 +\frac {9}{20}$

= 89.4 + 0.45 = 89.85kg

MCQ 1611 Mark
The average age of 15 students of a class is 15 years. Out of these, the average age of 5 students is 14 years and that of the other nine students is 16 years. What is the age of the 15th student?
  • A
    17 years
  • B
    13 years
  • C
    11 years
  • D
    11 years
Answer
  1. 13 years

Solution:

Total age of 15 students = (15 × 15)years = 225years

Total age of 5 students = (5 × 14)years = 70years

Total age of other 9 students = (9 × 16)years = 144years

$ \therefore$ Age of the 15th student = 225 - (70 + 144) = 225 - 214 = 11 years.

The value of $ \displaystyle\sum _{ \text{p,q,r} }^{ }{ {\text{ p}}^{ 2 } } - \displaystyle\sum _{ \text{p,q,r} }^{ }{ {\text{ q }}^{ 2 } }$ is:
  • A
    $ { \text{p} }^{ 2 }+{ \text{q} }^{ 2 }+{ \text{r} }^{ 2 }$
  • B
    $ 0$
  • C
    $ 2{ \text{p} }^{ 2 }+2{ \text{q} }^{ 2 }+2{ \text{r} }$
  • D
    $ 2{ \text{p} }^{ 2 }+2{ \text{q} }^{ 2 }+2{ \text{r} }$
Answer
  1. $ 0$

Solution:

Both the summations runs over $ \text{p,q,r} ∴ \displaystyle\sum _ { \text{p,q,r }}^{ }{ { \text{p} }^{ 2 } } - \displaystyle\sum _ { \text{p,q,r }}^{ }{ { \text{p} }^{ 2 } } - (\text{p}^2 +\text{q}^2+\text{r}^2) - (\text{p}^2 +\text{q}^2+\text{r}^2)$

= 0 Hence, the answer is 0.

MCQ 1651 Mark
If the S.D. of a set of observations is 8 and if each observation is divided by −2, the S.D. of the new set of observations will be:
  • A
    -4
  • B
    -8
  • C
    8
  • D
    8
Answer
  1. 4

Solution:

If a set of observations, with SD σσ, are multiplied with a non-zero real number a, then SD of the new observations will be $|\text{a}|\sigma.$
Dividing the set of observations by -2 is same as multiplying the observations by $\frac{1}{-2}.$

New $\text{S.D.}=\Big|-\frac{1}{2}\Big|\times8$

$=\frac{8}{2}$

$=4$
