MCQ 511 Mark
The mean of the data when$\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{d}_{\text{i}}=-500,\sum\text{f}_\text{i} =100 $ and $ \text{a}=125$ is :
  • $120$
  • B
    $100$
  • C
    $-500$
  • D
    $125$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$120$
$\text{Mean}=\text{a}+\frac{\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{d}_\text{i}}{\sum\text{f}_\text{i}}$
$=125+\frac{-500}{100}$
$=125-5=120$

If the mean of a data is $27$ and its median is $33$. Then, the mode is :
  • A
    $30$
  • B
    $43$
  • $45$
  • D
    $47$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$45$
Mean $= 27$
Median $= 33$
$\text{Mode = 3 median $-$ 2 Mean}$

The mean of the first $10$ multiples of $6$ is :
  • $33$
  • B
    $3.3$
  • C
    $35$
  • D
    $34$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$33$
The first $10$ multiples of $6$ are $\{6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60\}$
$\therefore\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of first 10 multiples of 6}}{10}$
$=\frac{6+12+18+24+30+36+42+48+54+60}{10}$

The arithmetic mean of a set of $40$ values is $65$. If each of the $40$ values is increased by $5,$ what will be the mean of the set of new values :
  • A
    $60$
  • B
    $65$
  • $70$
  • D
    $50$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$70$
Mean of $40$ values $= 65$
Total of $40$ values $= 65 \times 40 = 2600$
When each value is increased by $5,$
then the total of $40$ values will be $40 \times 5 = 200$ more than $2600$
$\therefore$ New total of $40$ values $= 2600 + 200 = 2800$
Now, New mean of $40$ values$=\frac{2800}{40}=70$

Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion $(A)$ is followed by a statement of reason $(R).$ Mark the correct choice as :
Assertion : If the median and mode of a frequency distribution are $8.9$ and $9.2$ respectively, then its mean is $9$.
Reason : Mean, median and mode of a frequency distribution are related as : mode $= 3$ median $- 2$ mean
  • A
    Both assertion $(A)$ and reason $(R)$ are true and reason $(R)$ is the correct explanation of assertion $(A)$.
  • B
    Both assertion $(A)$ and reason $(R)$ are true but reason $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of assertion $(A).$
  • C
    Assertion $(A)$ is true but reason $(R)$ is false.
  • Assertion $(A)$ is false but reason $(R)$ is true.
Answer
Correct option: D.
Assertion $(A)$ is false but reason $(R)$ is true.
Clearly, Reason is correct.
Using the relation given in Statement $-II,$ we have
$\Rightarrow 2$ Mean $= 3$ Median $–$ Mode
$\Rightarrow 2$ Mean $= 3 \times 8.9 - 9.2$
$\Rightarrow 2$ Mean $= 26.7 - 9.2$
$\Rightarrow 2$ Mean $= 17.5$

The sum of the lower limits of the median class and the modal class is :
  • A
    $15$
  • $25$
  • C
    $30$
  • D
    $35$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$25$
Class interval Frequency frequency
$0-10$ $10$ $10$

$10-15$ $15$ $37$
$15-20$ $20$ $57$
$20-25$ $9$ $66$
Here, $\text{N}=66$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{N}}{2}=33$
The cumulative frequency just greater than $33$ is $37$.
Hence, the median class is $10-15$
$\therefore$ Lower limit of median class $= 10$
Class having maximum frequency is the modal class.
Here, maximum frequency $= 20$
$\therefore$ Lower limit of modal class $= 15$

The mean of $\{1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 4\}$ is $m$. The number $\{3, 2, 2, 4, 3, 3\}, \ p$ have mean $m – 1$ and median $q.$ Then $p + q =$
  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $6$
  • $7$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$7$
Mean of $\{1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 4\}$ is $m$
$\therefore\frac{1+3+4+5+7+4}{6}=\text{m}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{24}{6}=\text{m}$
$\Rightarrow\text{m}=4$
Mean of $\{3, 2, 2, 4, 3, 3\}, \ p$ is $m = 1$
$\Rightarrow\frac{3+2+2+4+3+3+p}{7}=\text{m}-1$
$\Rightarrow\frac{17+\text{p}}{7}=4-1$
$\Rightarrow\frac{17+\text{p}}{7}=3$
$\Rightarrow17+\text{p}=21$
$\Rightarrow\text{p}=21-17=4$
Median of $\{3, 2, 2, 4, 3, 3\}, \ p$ is $q$
$\{3, 2, 2, 4, 3, 3, 4\}$ is $q$
Arranging in order, we get $\{4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2\}$
Here $n = 7$
$\therefore\text{Median}=\frac{7+1}{2}\text{ term}=4\text{ term}$
$=3$
$\therefore\text{q}=3$
$\therefore\text{p}+\text{q}=4+3=7$

In the formula $\overline{\text{X}}=\text{a}+\frac{\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{d}_\text{i}}{\sum\text{f}_\text{i}}$ for finding the mean of grouped data di’s are deviations from a of :
  • A
    lower limits of classes.
  • B
    upper limits of classes.
  • mid $-$ points of classes.
  • D
    frequency of the class marks .
Answer
Correct option: C.
mid $-$ points of classes.
We know that, $\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{i}}=\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}-\mathrm{a}$
i.e, $d_i$ 's are the deviation from a mid $-$ points of the classes.

The arithmetic mean and mode of a data are $24$ and $12$ respectively, then its median is :
  • A
    $25$
  • B
    $18$
  • $20$
  • D
    $22$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$20$
Arithmetic mean $= 24$
Mode $= 12$
$\therefore$ But mode $= 3$ median $– 2$ mean
$\Rightarrow 12 = 3$ median $– 2 \times 24$
$\Rightarrow 12 = 3$ median $- 48$
$\Rightarrow 12 + 48 = 3 $ median
$\Rightarrow 3$ median $= 60$
Median $=\frac{60}{3}=20$

If the mean of first $n$ natural number is $15,$ then $n =$
  • A
    $15$
  • B
    $30$
  • C
    $14$
  • $29$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$29$
Mean of first $n$ natural number $= 15$
$\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2\text{n}}=15$
$\frac{\text{n+1}}{2}=15$
$\Rightarrow\text{n}+1=30$

Choose the correct answer from the given four options : Consider the data :
Class $65-85$ $85-105$ $105-125$ $125-145$ $145-165$ $165-185$ $185-205$
Frequency $4$ $5$ $13$ $20$ $14$ $7$ $4$
The difference of the upper limit of the median class and the lower limit of the modal class is :
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $19$
  • $20$
  • D
    $38$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$20$
Here,
Class Frequency Cumulative frequency
$65-85$ $4$ $4$
$85-105$ $5$ $9$
$105-125$ $13$ $22$
$125-145$ $20$ $42$
$145-165$ $14$ $56$
$165-185$ $7$ $63$
$185-205$ $4$ $67$
Here, $\frac{\text{N}}{2}=\frac{67}{2}=33.5$ which lies in the interval $125\ - 145.$
Hence, upper limit of median class is $145.$
Here, we see that the highest frequency is $20$ which lies in $125\ - 145$.
Hence, the lower limit of modal class is $125.$
Required difference $=$ Upper limit of median class $-$ Lower limit of modal class $= 145 - 125 = 20$

If the mean of frequency distribution is $8.1$ and $\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{x}_\text{i}=132+5\text{k},\sum\text{f}_\text{i}=20,$ then $k =$
  • A
    $3$
  • B

$6$
Given : $\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{x}_\text{i}=132+5\text{k},\sum\text{f}_\text{i}=20$ and mean $= 8.1.$
Then $, \text{Mean}=\frac{\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{x}_\text{i}}{\sum\text{f}_\text{i}}$
$8.1=\frac{132+5\text{k}}{20}$
$162=132+5\text{k}$
