 Exe-34 B,


What is Mean ?

The Mean and  Median  are the arithmetic average of a data set. This is found by adding the numbers in a data set and dividing by how many numbers there are.

Mean Formula

Mean  =  Sum of All observations / Number of observations

What is median

The median of a set of data is the middlemost number in the set. The median is also the number that is halfway into the set. To find the median, the data should first be arranged in order from least to greatest. A median is a number that is separated by the higher half of a data sample, a population or a probability distribution, from the lower half.

The formula to calculate the median 

If the total number of observation given is odd, then the formula to calculate the median is:

Median = {(n+1)/2}thterm

If the total number of observation is even, then the median formula is:

Median  = [(n/2)th term + {(n/2)+1}th]/2

To find the median, place all the numbers in value order and find the middle.

Question- 3.

Height (in cm) of 7 boys of a locality are 144 cm, 155 cm, 168 cm, 163 cm, 167 cm, 151 cm and 158 cm. Find their mean height.
Answer-3:

Sum of the values = Sum of heights

= 144 cm + 155 cm + 168 cm + 163 cm + 167 cm + 151 cm + 158 cm = 1106 cm and

Number of values = Number of boys = 7

mean formula

= 11067 

=158 cm

Question -4.

Find the mean of 35, 44, 31, 57, 38, 29, 26,36, 41 and 43.
Answer-4:

Sum of the values = 35 + 44 + 31 + 57 + 38 + 29 + 26 + 36 + 41 + 43 = 380

and Number of values = 10

mean formula

38010 

= 38

Question-5

The mean of 18, 28, x, 32, 14 and 36 is 23. Find the value of x.

Answer-5:

Mean = 23

Number of observation= 6

Value of x = ?

mean formula

Exercise - 34 A Mean and Median for ICSE Class-6th Concise Selina Mathematics Ans-5

23 x 6 = 128 + x

138 = 128 + x

138-128 = x

x = 10

Question -6.

If the mean of x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6 and x + 8 is 13, find the value of x.
Answer-6:

Mean = 13

Number of observation= 5

Value of x = ?

mean formula

Exercise - 34 A Mean and Median for ICSE Class-6th Concise Selina Mathematics Ans-6

5x + 20 = 13 x 5

5x + 20 = 65

5x      =  65 – 20

x  =     455

x = 9
