Question 1.

Find the mean of the following data :
(i) 40, 30, 30, 0, 26, 60
(ii) 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15

(i) Mean of 40, 30, 30, 0, 26, 60
No. of data (n) = 6
∴ Mean = $\frac{40+30+30+0+26+60}{6}=\frac{186}{6}=31$
(ii) Mean of 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15
No. of data = 7
∴ Mean = $\frac{3+5+7+9+11+13+15}{7}=\frac{63}{7}=9$

Question 2.
Find the mean of the first five even whole numbers.

First five even whole numbers are 0, 2, 4, 6, 8
Number of data = 5
∴ Mean = $\frac{0+2+4+6+8}{5}=\frac{20}{5}=4$

Question 3.
A batsman scored the following number of runs in six innings :
36, 35, 50, 46, 60, 55
Calculate the mean runs scored by him in an inning.

In six innings, run scored was
36, 35, 50, 46, 60, 55
∴ Mean = $\frac{36+35+50+46+60+55}{6}=\frac{282}{6}=47$

Question 4.
The enrolment in a school for six consecutive years was as follows :
1555, 1670, 1750, 2013, 2540, 2825
Find the mean enrolment of the school for this period.

Enrolment for 6 consecutive years is
1555, 1670, 1750, 2013, 2540, 2825
∴ Mean = $\frac{1555+1670+1750+2013+2540+2825}{6}$
$\frac{12353}{6}$ = 2058.83 = 2059

Marks obtained by a group of students in science test
85, 76, 90, 85, 39, 48, 56, 95, 81, 75
(i) Highest marks obtained = 95
Lowest marks = 39
(ii) Mean marks = $\frac{85+76+90+85+39+48+56+95+81+75}{10}$ (Here n = 10)
$\frac{730}{10}$ = 73

Question 1.
Find the median of the following data:
(i) 3, 1, 5, 6, 3, 4, 5
(ii) 3, 1, 5, 6, 3, 4, 5, 6

(i) Arrange the data in ascending order
We get, 1, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6
∴ Median = $\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)^{t h}$ term
$\left(\frac{7+1}{2}\right)^{\text { th }}$ = 4th term

(ii) After arranging data, we get
1, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6
∴ Median = $\frac{4+5}{2}=\frac{9}{2}=4 \cdot 5$

Question 2.
Calculate the mean, the median and the mode of the numbers :
1, 3, 2, 6, 2, 3, 1, 3

(a) Mean = $\frac{1+3+2+6+2+3+1+3}{8}$
$\frac{21}{8}$ = 2.625
Hence mean = 2.625

(b) Arranging the given data in ascending order, we get
1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3,6
Total number of observations (items) = 8 (even).
There are two middle items : – 2 and 3.
Their average = $\frac{2+3}{2}=\frac{5}{2}=2 \cdot 5$
Hence the median of the given numbers = 2.5.

(c) In the given numbers,
3 is repeated more number of time than any other number.
∴ Mode = 3.

Question 3.
Calculate the mean, the median and the mode of the following numbers :
3, 7, 2, 5, 3, 4, 1, 5, 3, 6

(a) Mean = $\frac{3+7+2+5+3+4+1+5+3+6}{10}=\frac{39}{10}=3 \cdot 9$
Hence the mean = 3.9

(b) Arranging the given data in ascending order, we get,
1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7
Total numbers of observations (items) = 10 (even)
There are two middle items – 3 and 4
Their average = $\frac{3+4}{2}=\frac{7}{2}=3 \cdot 5$
Hence the median of the given numbers = 3.5

(c) In the given numbers 3 is repeated more than any other number
∴ Mode = 3
