Class 10 SELINA Solutions Maths Chapter 24 - Measures of Central Tendency (Mean, Median, Quartiles and Mode)

(a) Here n = 9

(b)

If marks of each student be increased by 4 then new arithmetic mean will be = 59 + 4 = 63

(a) The mean of 7, 11, 6, 5 and 6

(b)

If we subtract 2 from each number, then the mean will be 7-2 = 5

No. of terms = 5

Mean = 8

Sum of numbers = 8 x 5 = 40 .(i)

But, sum of numbers = 6+4+7+a+10 = 27+a ..(ii)

From (i) and (ii)

27+a = 40

a = 13

No. of terms = 5 and mean = 8

Sum of numbers = 5 x 8 = 40 ..(i)

but sum of numbers = 6+y+7+x+14 = 27+y+x .(ii)

from (i) and (ii)

27 + y + x = 40

x + y = 13

y = 13 - x

No. of terms = 10

Mean = 69.5

Sum of the numbers = 69.5 x 10 = 695 ..........(i)

But sum of numbers = 72+70+x+62+ 50+71+90+64+58+82

= 619 + x ......(ii)

from (i) and (ii)

619 + x = 695

x = 76

Mean = 60.95

(i) Mean remains the same if the number of workers in each category is doubled.

Mean = 80

(ii) Mean will be increased by 60% if the wages per day per worker is increased by 60%

New mean =

(iii) No change in the mean if the number of workers is doubled but if wages per worker is reduced by 40%, then

New mean =

(i)

(ii) In the second case,

New mean = 39 matches

Total contents = 39 x 100 = 3900

But total number of matches already given = 3813

Number of new matches to be added = 3900 - 3813 = 87

(i) Short - cut method

(ii) Step - deviation method

Here A = 65 and h = 10

Here A = 87.50 and h = 7

Here mean = 54 ..(ii)

from (i) and (ii)

Now, and

from (i)

using (i) and (ii)

Arranging the given data in descending order:

8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 3, 1, 0

The middle term is 4 which is the 5^th term.

Median = 4

Arranging the given data in descending order:

28.5, 28, 27.5, 25.5, 24, 24, 22, 21, 21, 20.5

The middle terms are 24 and 24, 5^th and 6^th terms

Arranging in ascending order:

22, 24, 25, 26, 26, 27, 27, 28, 28, 29, 21, 32, 32, 33, 35, 35, 36, 36, 37

(i) Middle term is 10^th term i.e. 29

Median = 29

(ii) Lower quartile =

(iii) Upper quartile =

(iv) Interquartile range = q₃ - q₁ =35 - 26 = 9

Number of terms = 60

(i) median = the mean of the 30^th and the 31^st terms

(ii) lower quartile (Q₁) =

(iii) upper quartile (Q₃) =

(iv) Interquartile range = Q₃ - Q₁ = 40 - 38 = 2

Number of terms = 80

\Median = 40^th term.

(i) Median = Through 40^th term mark draw a line parallel to the x-axis which meets the curve at A. From A, draw a perpendicular to x-axis which meets it at B.

Value of B is the median = 40

(ii) Lower quartile (Q₁) = 20^th term = 18

(iii) Upper Quartile (Q₃) = 60^th term = 66

Number of terms = 100

Through 50^th term mark draw a line parallel to the x-axis which meets the curve at A. From A, draw a perpendicular to x-axis which meets it at B.

Value of B is the median = 148

Median height = 148cm

Mode is in 20-30, because in this class there are 20 frequencies.

Mode is in 30-35 because it has the maximum frequency.

Arranging the given data in ascending order:

7, 10, 12, 12, 14, 15, 16, 16, 16, 17, 19

(i) Mode = 16 as it occurs maximum number of times.

(ii)

(iii)Total marks = 7+10+12+12+14+15+16+16+16+17+19 =

154

(iv)

(i) Modal score = 4 as it has maximum frequency 7.

(ii)

(iii) Total score = 80

(iv)

Mean of 1, 7, 5, 3, 4 and 4 =

m=4

Now, mean of 3, 2, 4, 2, 3, 3 and p = m-1 = 4-1 = 3

Therefore, 17+p = 3 x n …. Where n = 7

17+p = 21

p = 4

Arranging in ascending order:

2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4

Mean = 4^th term = 3

Therefore, q = 3

(i) Mode = 5^th July as it has maximum frequencies.

(ii) Total number of terms = 206

Upper quartile =

Lower quartile =

(i)

Through mark 60.5, draw a parallel line to x-axis which meets the curve at A, From A draw a perpendicular to x-axis meeting it at B.

The value of point B is the median = 43

(ii) Number of students who obtained up to 75% marks in the test = 110

Number of students who obtained more than 75% marks in the test = 120 - 110 = 10

(iii) Number of students who obtained less than 40% marks in the test = 52 (from the graph; x=40, y=52)

(iv) Lower quartile = Q₁ =

(i) Number of students weighing more than 55 kg = 200-44 = 156

Therefore, percentage of students weighing 55 kg or more

(ii) 30% of students =

Heaviest 60students in weight = 9 + 21 + 30 = 60

weight = 65 kg ( from table)

(iii) (a) underweight students when 55.70 kg is standard = 46 (approx) from graph

(b) overweight students when 55.70 kg is standard = 200- 55.70 = 154 (approx) from graph

Number of terms = 25

(i) Mean =

(ii)

(iii) Mode = 6 as it has maximum frequencies i.e. 6

Number of employees = 320

(i)

Through mark 160, draw a parallel line to x-axis which meets the curve at A, From A draw a perpendicular to x-axis meeting it at B.

The value of point B is the median = Rs 9.3 thousands

(ii) The number of employees with income below Rs 8500 = 95 (approx from the graph)

(iii) Number of employees with income below Rs 11500 = 305 (approx from the graph)

Therefore number of employees (senior employees) = 320-305 =15

(iv) Upper quartile =

Here the number of observations i. e is 10, which is even.'

So, the given data is 13, 35, 43, 46, 46, 50, 55, 61, 71, 80.

In the given data, 46 occurs most frequently.

∴ Mode = 46 

i. The frequency distribution table is as follows:

ii.

iii. Here the maximum frequency is 8 which is corresponding to class 20 - 30.

 Hence, the modal class is 20 - 30.
