Question 15 Marks
The mean of marks scored by $100$ students was found to be $40$. Later on it was discovered that a score of $53$ was misread as $83.$ Find the correct mean.
Answer
We have, $N =$ The number of observations $= 100,$
Mean $= 40$
$\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of the observations}}{\text{Total number of observations}}$
$\Rightarrow40=\frac{\text{Sum of the observations}}{100}$ Sum of the observations $= 40 \times 100$
Thus, the incorrect sum of the observations $= 40 \times 100 = 4000$
Now, The correct sum of the observations = Incorrect sum of the observations – Incorrect observation + Correct observation.
The correct sum of the observations $= 4000 - 83 + 53$
The correct sum of the observations $= 4000 - 30 = 3970$
$\therefore\text{Correct mean}=\frac{\text{Correct sum of the observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}=\frac{3970}{100}=39.7$

Question 25 Marks
Heights of 25 children (in cm) in a school are as given below: $168, 165, 163, 160, 163, 161, 162, 164, 163, 162, 164, 163, 160, 163, 163, 164, 163, 160, 165, 163, 162$ What is the mode of heights? Also, find the mean and median.
Answer
Arranging the data in tabular form, we get:

Here, $\mathrm{n}=25$
Median $=$ value of $\frac{\mathrm{n}+1}{2}$ th observation $=$ value of the $13^{\text {th }}$ observation $=163 \mathrm{~cm}$.
Here, clearly, 163 cm occurs the most number of times. Therefore, the mode of the given data is $163 cm .$
Mode $=3$ Median -2 Mean
$\Rightarrow 163=3 \times 163-2 \text { Mean }$
$\Rightarrow 2 \text { Mean }=326$
$\Rightarrow \text { Mean }=163 \mathrm{~cm}$

$\sum\text{f}_\text{i}=50$
$\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{x}_\text{i}=530\ +\ 25\text{p}$
We have,
$\therefore\text{Mean}=\frac{\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{x}_\text{i}}{\sum\text{f}_\text{i}}$
$\Rightarrow20.6=\frac{530+25\text{p}}{50}$
$\Rightarrow530 + 25\text{p} = 20.6 × 50$
$\Rightarrow25\text{p} = 1030 - 530$
$\Rightarrow\text{p}=\frac{500}{25}$

Question 55 Marks
The mean of $200$ items was $50$. Later on, it was discovered that the two items were misread as $92$ and $8$ instead of $192$ and $88$. Find the correct mean.
Answer
N = Number of observations $= 200$
$\text{Mean}=\frac{\text{Sum of the observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}$
$\Rightarrow50=\frac{\text{Sum of the observations}}{200}$
$\Rightarrow $ Sum of the observations $= 50 \times 200 = 10,000.$
Thus, the incorrect sum of the observations $= 50 \times 200$
Now, The correct sum of the observations = Incorrect sum of the observations - Incorrect observations + Correct observations.
$\Rightarrow $ Correct sum of the observations $= 10,000 - (92 + 8) + (192 + 88)$
$\Rightarrow $ Correct sum of the observations $= 10,000 - 100 + 280$
$\Rightarrow $ Correct sum of the observations $= 9900 + 280$
$\Rightarrow $ Correct sum of the observations $= 10,180$

$\sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}}=15+5 \mathrm{p}, \sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}} \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}=295+(20+\mathrm{p}) 5 \mathrm{p}$

Question 105 Marks
The following table shows the weights of $12$ persons.
Weight (in kg): $48$ $50$ $52$ $54$ $58$
Number of persons: $4$ $3$ $2$ $2$ $1$
Find the median and mean weights. Using empirical relation, calculate its mode.
Answer
Weight ($x_i$) $48$ 50 52 54 58 Total
Number of Persons ($f_i$) $4$ $3$ $2$ $2$ $1$ $\sum\text{f}_\text{i}=12$
($f_ix_i$) $192$ $150$ $104$ $108$ $58$ $\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{x}_\text{i}=612$
$\text{mean} = \frac{\sum\text{f}_\text{i}\text{x}_\text{i}}{\sum\text{f}_\text{i}}\frac{612}{12}=51\text{kg.}$
Here, $n = 12$
Median = value of $\frac{\text{n}}{2}\text{th}$ observation $\frac{\text{n}}{2}+1^\text{th}$ observation
$\Rightarrow\text{Median}=\frac{\text{Value of 6}^\text{th}\ \text{observation}+\text{Value of 7}^\text{th}\ \text{observation}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{Median}=\frac{50+50}{2}=50\text{kg.}$
Now,
Mode $= 3$ Median $- 2$ Mean
$\Rightarrow Mode = 3 \times 50 - 2 \times 51$
$\Rightarrow Mode = 150 - 102$
$\Rightarrow Mode = 48kg.$
Thus, Mean $= 51kg$, Median $= 50 kg$ and Mode $= 48kg.$
