Practice Set 7.3

(1) For class interval 20-25 write the lower class limit and the upper class limit.

Solution:

Lower class limit = 20

Upper class limit = 25

 

Ans: Lower class limit is 20 and upper class limit is 25.

 

(2) Find the class-mark of the class 35 – 40.

Solution:

We know that, 

Class-mark = \(\large \frac {Lower\, class\, limit\, +\, Upper\, class\, limit}{2} \)

∴ Class-mark = \(\large \frac {35\, +\, 40}{2} \)

∴ Class-mark = \(\large \frac {75}{2} \)

∴ Class-mark = 37.5

 

Ans: Class-mark of the class 35 – 40 is 37.5

 

(3) If the class mark is 10 and class width is 6 then find the class.

Solution:

Let the upper class limit be x and the lower class limit be y.

 

Class mark = 10 …[Given]

We know that, 

Class-mark = \(\large \frac {Lower\, class\, limit\, +\, Upper\, class\, limit}{2} \)

∴ 10 = \(\large \frac {x\, +\, y}{2} \)

∴ 10 × 2 = x + y

∴ x + y = 20

 

Class width = 6 …[Given]

We know that, 

Class width = Upper class limit – Lower class limit

∴ 6 = x – y …(ii)

 

Adding equations (i) and (ii),

     x + y = 20

  + x – y =   6

________________

    2x – 0 = 26

∴ 2x = 26

∴ x = \(\large \frac {26}{2} \)

∴ x = 13

 

Substituting x = 13 in equation (i),

x + y = 20

13 + y = 20

∴ y = 20 – 13

∴ y = 7

 

Ans: The required class is 7 – 13.

(4) Complete the following table.

N = Σf = 35

Solution

Let the frequency of the class 14 – 15 be x

 

From the given table, we get

5 + 14 + x + 4 = 35

∴ 23 + x = 35

∴ x = 35 – 23

∴ x = 12

(i) 

Class mark Frequency

15
9
25
15
35
13

Solution:

Let the Lower class limit and Upper class limit of the class marks be x and y respectively.

 

Class width = Difference between two consecutive class marks

∴ Class width = 15 – 5

∴ Class width = 10

 

We know that, 

Class-mark = \(\large \frac {Lower\, class\, limit\, +\, Upper\, class\, limit}{2} \)

 

(i) For Class Mark 5

5 = \(\large \frac {x\, +\, y}{2} \)

∴ 5 × 2 = x + y

∴ x + y = 10 …(i)

 

Now,

Class width = Upper class limit – Lower class limit

∴ 10 = y – x

∴ x – y = – 10 …(ii)

 

Adding equations (i) and (ii),

     x + y =   10

  + x – y = – 10

________________

2x – 0 = 0

∴ 2x = 10

∴ x = \(\large \frac {0}{2} \)

∴ x = 0

 

Substituting x = 0 in equation (i),

x + y = 10

0 + y = 10

∴ y = 10 – 0

∴ y = 10

 

∴ Class with class-mark 5 is 0 – 10

 

(ii) For Class Mark 15

15 = \(\large \frac {x\, +\, y}{2} \)

∴ 15 × 2 = x + y

∴ x + y = 30 …(i)

 

Now,

Class width = Upper class limit – Lower class limit

∴ 10 = y – x

∴ x – y = – 10 …(ii)

 

Adding equations (i) and (ii),

     x + y =   30

  + x – y = – 10

________________

2x – 0 = 20

∴ 2x = 20

∴ x = \(\large \frac {20}{2} \)

∴ x = 10

 

Substituting x = 10 in equation (i),

x + y = 30

10 + y = 30

∴ y = 30 – 10

∴ y = 20

 

∴ Class with class-mark 15 is 10 – 20

 

(iii) For Class Mark 25

25 = \(\large \frac {x\, +\, y}{2} \)

∴ 25 × 2 = x + y

∴ x + y = 50 …(i)

 

Now,

Class width = Upper class limit – Lower class limit

∴ 10 = y – x

∴ x – y = – 10 …(ii)

 

Adding equations (i) and (ii),

     x + y =   50

  + x – y = – 10

________________

2x – 0 = 40

∴ 2x = 40

∴ x = \(\large \frac {40}{2} \)

∴ x = 20

 

Substituting x = 20 in equation (i),

x + y = 50

20 + y = 50

∴ y = 50 – 20

∴ y = 30

 

∴ Class with class-mark 25 is 20 – 30

 

(iv) For Class Mark 35

35 = \(\large \frac {x\, +\, y}{2} \)

∴ 35 × 2 = x + y

∴ x + y = 70 …(i)

 

Now,

Class width = Upper class limit – Lower class limit

∴ 10 = y – x

∴ x – y = – 10 …(ii)

 

Adding equations (i) and (ii),

     x + y =   70

  + x – y = – 10

________________

2x – 0 = 60

∴ 2x = 60

∴ x = \(\large \frac {60}{2} \)

∴ x = 30

 

Substituting x = 30 in equation (i),

x + y = 70

30 + y = 70

∴ y = 70 – 30

∴ y = 40

 

∴ Class with class-mark 35 is 30 – 40

 

The class marks obtained above are exclusive classes as all classes are continuous.

 

For Inclusive classesSubtract 0.5 from the lower limit and add 0.5 to the upper limit

 

Inclusive class for Class 0 – 10 is (0+0.5) – (10-0.5)

∴ Inclusive class for Class 0 – 10 is 0.5 – 9.5

 

Inclusive class for Class 10 – 20 is (10+0.5) – (20-0.5)

∴ Inclusive class for Class 10 – 20 is 10.5 – 19.5

 

Inclusive class for Class 20 – 30 is (20+0.5) – (30-0.5)

∴ Inclusive class for Class 20 – 30 is 20.5 – 29.5

 

Inclusive class for Class 30 – 40 is (30+0.5) – (40-0.5)

∴ Inclusive class for Class 30 – 40 is 30.5 – 39.5

 

Ans: Frequency table taking inclusive and exclusive classes is;

Solution:

Let the Lower class limit and Upper class limit of the class marks be x and y respectively.

 

Class width = Difference between two consecutive class marks

∴ Class width = 24 – 22

∴ Class width = 2

 

We know that, 

Class-mark = \(\large \frac {Lower\, class\, limit\, +\, Upper\, class\, limit}{2} \)

 

(i) For Class Mark 22

22 = \(\large \frac {x\, +\, y}{2} \)

∴ 22 × 2 = x + y

∴ x + y = 44 …(i)

 

Now,

Class width = Upper class limit – Lower class limit

∴ 2 = y – x

∴ x – y = – 2 …(ii)

 

Adding equations (i) and (ii),

       x + y = 44

    + x – y = – 2

________________

   2x – 0 = 42

∴ 2x = 42

∴ x = \(\large \frac {42}{2} \)

∴ x = 21

 

Substituting x = 21 in equation (i),

x + y = 44

21 + y = 44

∴ y = 44 – 21

∴ y = 23

 

∴ Class with class-mark 22 is 21 – 23

 

(ii) For Class Mark 24

24 = \(\large \frac {x\, +\, y}{2} \)

∴ 24 × 2 = x + y

∴ x + y = 48 …(i)

 

Now,

Class width = Upper class limit – Lower class limit

∴ 2 = y – x

∴ x – y = – 2 …(ii)

 

Adding equations (i) and (ii),

       x + y = 48

    + x – y = – 2

________________

   2x – 0 = 46

∴ 2x = 46

∴ x = \(\large \frac {46}{2} \)

∴ x = 23

 

Substituting x = 23 in equation (i),

x + y = 48

23 + y = 48

∴ y = 48 – 23

∴ y = 25

 

∴ Class with class-mark 24 is 23 – 25

 

(iii) For Class Mark 26

26 = \(\large \frac {x\, +\, y}{2} \)

∴ 26 × 2 = x + y

∴ x + y = 52 …(i)

 

Now,

Class width = Upper class limit – Lower class limit

∴ 2 = y – x

∴ x – y = – 2 …(ii)

 

Adding equations (i) and (ii),

       x + y = 52

    + x – y = – 2

________________

   2x – 0 = 50

∴ 2x = 50

∴ x = \(\large \frac {50}{2} \)

∴ x = 25

 

Substituting x = 25 in equation (i),

x + y = 52

25 + y = 52

∴ y = 52 – 25

∴ y = 27

 

∴ Class with class-mark 26 is 25 – 27

 

(iv) For Class Mark 28

28 = \(\large \frac {x\, +\, y}{2} \)

∴ 28 × 2 = x + y

∴ x + y = 56 …(i)

 

Now,

Class width = Upper class limit – Lower class limit

∴ 2 = y – x

∴ x – y = – 2 …(ii)

 

Adding equations (i) and (ii),

       x + y = 56

    + x – y = – 2

________________

   2x – 0 = 54

∴ 2x = 54

∴ x = \(\large \frac {54}{2} \)

∴ x = 27

 

Substituting x = 27 in equation (i),

x + y = 56

27 + y = 56

∴ y = 56 – 27

∴ y = 29

 

∴ Class with class-mark 28 is 27 – 29

 

The class marks obtained above are exclusive classes as all classes are continuous.

 

For Inclusive classesSubtract 0.5 from the lower limit and add 0.5 to the upper limit

 

Inclusive class for Class 21 – 23 is (21+0.5) – (23-0.5)

∴ Inclusive class for Class 21 – 23 is 21.5 – 22.5

 

Inclusive class for Class 23 – 25 is (23+0.5) – (25-0.5)

∴ Inclusive class for Class 23 – 25 is 23.5 – 24.5

 

Inclusive class for Class 25 – 27 is (25+0.5) – (27-0.5)

∴ Inclusive class for Class 25 – 27 is 25.5 – 26.5

 

Inclusive class for Class 27 – 29 is (27+0.5) – (29-0.5)

∴ Inclusive class for Class 27 – 29 is 27.5 – 28.5

Solution:

We know that,

Mean = \( \large \frac{\text { The sum of all observations }}{\text { Total number of observations }}\)

∴ Mean = \( \large \frac{10\, +\, 7\, +\, 5\, +\, 3\, +\, 9\, +\, 6\, +\, 9}{ 7}\)

∴ Mean = \( \large \frac{\text { 49 }}{\text { 7 }}\)

∴ Mean = 7

 

Ans: The mean of yield per acre is 7 quintals

(5) In a basket there are 10 tomatoes. The weight of each of these tomatoes in grams is as follows:

60, 70, 90, 95, 50, 65, 70, 80, 85, 95. 

 

Find the median of the weights of tomatoes. 

Solution:

Given data in ascending order is 50, 60, 65, 70, 70, 80 85, 90, 95, 95

Number of observations = 10 (i.e., even)

 

We know that if the number of observations is even then the median is the average of the middle two numbers.

 

Here, 5th and 6th numbers are in the middle position

∴ Median = \(\large \frac{70\, +\, 80}{2}\)

∴ Median = \(\large \frac{150}{2}\)

 

Ans: The median of the weights of tomatoes is 75 grams.

(6) A hockey player has scored following number of goals in 9 matches: 

5, 4, 0, 2, 2, 4, 4, 3, 3. 

 

Find the mean, median and mode of the data.

Solution:

For Mean:

Given data is 5, 4, 0, 2, 2, 4, 4, 3, 3.

Total number of observations = 9

 

We know that,

Mean = \( \large \frac{\text { The sum of all observations }}{\text { Total number of observations }}\)

∴ Mean = \( \large \frac{5\, +\, 4\, +\, 0 \,+\, 2 \,+ \,2\, + \,4 \,+\, 4\, +\, 3 \,+ \,3 }{\text { 9 }}\)

∴ Mean = \( \large \frac{\text { 27 }}{\text { 9 }}\)

∴ Mean = 3

 

For Median:

Given data in ascending order is 0, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5

Number of observations = 9 (i.e., odd)

 

We know that Median is the middle most observation

Here, the 5th number is at the middle position, which is 3.

 

∴ Median = 3

 

For Mode:

Given data in ascending order is 0, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5

 

Here, the observation repeated maximum number of times = 4

∴ Mode = 4

 

Ans: For the given data, mean is 3, median is 3 and mode is 4.

(7) The calculated mean of 50 observations was 80. It was later discovered that observation 19 was recorded by mistake as 91. What was the correct mean?

Solution:

Mean = 80

Number of observations = 50

 

We know that,

Mean = \( \large \frac{\text { The sum of all observations }}{\text { Total number of observations }}\)

∴ Mean × Total number of observations = The sum of all observations

∴ The sum of 50 observations = 80 × 50

∴ The sum of 50 observations = 4000

 

One of the observations was 19 which was mistakenly recorded as 91.

 

To find the sum of correct observations, we will subtract the incorrect observation i.e. 91 and add the correct observation i.e. 19

∴ Sum of observations after correction = Sum of 50 observation + correct observation – incorrect observation

∴ Sum of observations after correction = 4000 + 19 – 91

∴ Sum of observations after correction = 3928

 

∴ Corrected mean =  \( \large \frac{\text { Sum of observations after correction }}{\text { Total number of observations }}\)

∴ Corrected mean =  \( \large \frac{3928}{50}\)

∴ Corrected mean = 78.56

 

Ans: The corrected mean is 78.56.

(8) Following 10 observations are arranged in ascending order as follows:

2, 3, 5, 9, x + 1, x + 3, 14, 16, 19, 20 

 

If the median of the data is 11, find the value of x.

Solution:

Given data in ascending order is 2, 3, 5, 9, x + 1, x + 3, 14, 16, 19, 20.

Number of observations = 10 (i.e., even)

 

We know that if the number of observations is even then the median is the average of the middle two numbers.

 

Here, 5th and 6th numbers are in the middle position

∴ Median = \(\large \frac{(x,\, +\, 1)\, +\, (x\, +\, 2)}{2}\)

∴ Median = \(\large \frac{(2x, \,+\, 4)}{2}\)

∴ 22 = 2x + 4

∴ 22 – 4 = 2x

∴ 18 = 2x

∴ x = 9

 

Ans: The value of x is 9.

(9) The mean of 35 observations is 20, out of which the mean of first 18 observations is 15 and mean of the last 18 observations is 25. Find the 18th observation.

Solution:

Mean of 35 observations = 20

 

We know that,

Mean = \( \large \frac{\text { The sum of all observations }}{\text { Total number of observations }}\)

∴ Mean × Total number of observations = The sum of all observations

∴ The sum of 35 observations = 20 × 35

∴ The sum of 35 observations = 700 …(i)

 

The mean of first 18 observations is 15

∴ The sum of first 18 observations = 15 x 18

∴ The sum of first 18 observations = 270 …(ii)

 

The mean of last 18 observations is 25 

∴ The sum of last 18 observations = 25 x 18

∴ The sum of last 18 observations = 450 …(iii)

 

Now, 

18th observation = (Sum of first 18 observations + Sum of last 18 observations) – (Sum of 35 observations)

∴ 18th observation = (270 + 450) – (700) …[From (i), (ii) and (iii)]

∴ 18th observation = 720 – 700 

∴ 18th observation = 20

 

Ans: The 18th observation is 20.

(10) The mean of 5 observations is 50. One of the observations was removed from the data, hence the mean became 45. Find the observation which was removed.

Solution:

Mean of 5 observations = 50

 

We know that,

Mean = \( \large \frac{\text { The sum of all observations }}{\text { Total number of observations }}\)

∴ Mean × Total number of observations = The sum of all observations 

∴ The sum of 5 observations = 50 × 5

∴ The sum of 5 observations = 250 …(i)

 

One observation was removed and the mean of remaining data is 45.

∴ Total number of observations after removing one observation = 5 – 1 = 4

 

Now, 

Mean of 4 observations = 45

 

∴ The sum of 4 observations = 45 x 4 

∴ The sum of 4 observations = 180 …(ii)

 

∴ Observation which was removed = The sum of 5 observations – The sum of 4 observations 

∴ Observation which was removed = 250 – 180 …[From (i) and (ii)]

∴ Observation which was removed = 70

 

Ans: The observation which was removed is 70.

(11) There are 40 students in a class, out of them 15 are boys. The mean of marks obtained by boys is 33 and that for girls is 35. Find out the mean of all students in the class. 

Solution:

Total number of students in the class = 40

Number of boys in the class = 15

∴ Number of girls in the class = 40 – 15 

∴ Number of girls in the class = 25

 

The mean of marks obtained by 15 boys is 33

∴ Sum of the marks obtained by boys = 33 × 15

∴ Sum of the marks obtained by boys = 495 …(i)

 

The mean of marks obtained by 25 girls is 35

∴ Sum of the marks obtained by girls = 35 x 25

∴ Sum of the marks obtained by girls = 875 …(ii)

 

Sum of the marks obtained by boys and girls = 495 + 875 … [From (i) and (ii)]

∴ Sum of the marks obtained by boys and girls = 1370

 

Now,

Mean of all the students = \( \large \frac{\text { The sum of the marks of all the students }}{\text { Total number of students }}\)

∴ Mean of all the students = \(\large \frac{1370}{40}\)

∴ Mean of all the students = 34.25

 

Ans: The mean of all the students in the class is 34.25.

(12) The weights of 10 students (in kg) are given below: 

40, 35, 42, 43, 37, 35, 37, 37, 42, 37. 

 

Find the mode of the data.

Solution:

Given data in ascending order is 35, 35, 37, 37, 37, 37, 40, 42, 42, 43

 

Here, the observation repeated maximum number of times = 37

∴ Mode = 37

 

Ans: Mode of the given data is 37 kg.

Solution:

5th number = Sum of five numbers – Sum of four numbers

 ∴ 5th number = (5 × 50) – (4 × 46)

∴ 5th number = 250 – 184

∴ 5th number = 66

 

OPTION (D) : 66

∴ The sum of all observations = 100 × 40 

∴ The sum of all observations = 4000

 

If the 9th observation is 30 and is replaced by 70 keeping all other observations the same.

∴ The sum of all observations = 4000 − 30 + 70 

∴ The sum of all observations = 4040

 

The new mean = \( \large \frac{\text { The sum of the all observations }}{\text { Total number of observations }}\)

OPTION (C) : 35

(2) The mean salary of 20 workers is Rs.10,250. If the salary of office superintendent is added, the mean will increase by Rs.750. Find the salary of the office superintendent.

Solution:

Mean salary of 20 workers = ₹ 10,250

 

We know that,

Mean = \( \large \frac{\text { The sum of all observations }}{\text { Total number of observations }}\)

∴ Mean × Total number of observations = The sum of all observations 

∴ The sum of the salaries of 20 workers = Mean salary of 20 workers × 20

∴ The sum of the salaries of 20 workers = 10,250 × 20

∴ The sum of the salaries of 20 workers = 205000 …(i)

 

If the superintendent’s salary is added, then mean increases by 750

∴ New mean = 10250 + 750 

∴ New mean = 11000

 

Total number of people after adding superintendent = 20 + 1 

∴ Total number of people after adding superintendent = 21

 

∴ The sum of the salaries including the superintendent’s salary = 21 × 11,000 

∴ The sum of the salaries including the superintendent’s salary = 231000 …(ii)

 

∴ Superintendent’s salary = The sum of the salaries including the superintendent’s salary – The sum of the salaries of 20 workers

∴ Superintendent’s salary = 2, 31,00 – 2,05,000 …[From (i) and (ii)]

∴ Superintendent’s salary = 26,000

 

Ans: The salary of the office superintendent is ₹ 26,000.

(3) The mean of nine numbers is 77. If one more number is added to it then the mean increases by 5. Find the number added in the data.

Solution:

Mean of nine numbers = 77

 

We know that,

Mean = \( \large \frac{\text { The sum of all observations }}{\text { Total number of observations }}\)

∴ Mean × Total number of observations = The sum of all observations 

∴ The sum of nine numbers = Mean of 9 numbers × 9

∴ The sum of nine numbers = 77 × 9

∴ The sum of nine numbers = 693 …(i)

 

If one more number is added, then the mean increases by 5

∴ Mean of 10 numbers = 77 + 5 

∴ Mean of 10 numbers = 82

 

The sum of the ten numbers = 82 × 10 

∴ The sum of the ten numbers = 820 …(ii)

 

The number added = The sum of the ten numbers – The sum of the nine numbers 

∴ The number added = 820 – 693 …[From (i) and (ii)]

∴ The number added = 127

 

Ans: The number added in the data is 127.

Σfᵢ = 30 + p
Σfᵢ xᵢ = 610 + 20p

Mean (x̄) = \(\large \frac{Σ fᵢ xᵢ}{Σ fᵢ}\)

∴ 20.2 = \(\large \frac{610\, +\, \text 20p}{30 \,+\, \text p}\)

∴ 20.2 (30 + p) = 610 + 20p

∴ 606 + 20.2p = 610 + 20p

∴ 20.2p – 20p = 610 – 606

∴ 0.2p = 4

∴ p = \(\large \frac {4}{0.2}\)

∴ p = 20

 

Ans: The value of p is 20.

(8) There are 10 observations arranged in ascending order as given below. 45, 47, 50, 52, x, x + 2, 60, 62, 63, 74. The median of these observations is 53. Find the value of x. Also find the mean and the mode of the data.

Solution:

Given data in ascending order is 45, 47, 50, 52, x, x + 2, 60, 62, 63, 74.

Number of observations = 10 (i.e., even)

 

We know that if the number of observations is even then the median is the average of the middle two numbers.

 

Here, 5th and 6th numbers are in the middle position

∴ Median = \(\large \frac{(x)\, +\, (x\, +\, 2)}{2}\)

∴ 53 = \(\large \frac{(2x \,+\, 2)}{2}\)

∴ 53 × 2 = 2x + 2

∴ 106 = 2x + 2

∴ 106 – 2 = 2x

∴ 104 = 2x

∴ x = \(\large \frac{104}{2}\)

∴ x = 52

∴ The value of x is 52

 

Now,

The given data becomes : 45, 47, 50, 52, 52, 54, 60, 62, 63, 74.

 

For Mean:

We know that,

Mean = \( \large \frac{\text { The sum of all observations }}{\text { Total number of observations }}\)

∴ Mean = \( \large \frac{ \text{45 + 47 + 50 + 52 + 52 + 54 + 60 + 62 + 63 + 74 }}{10}\) 

∴ Mean = \( \large \frac{\text { 559 }}{\text { 10 }}\)

∴ Mean = 55.9

 

For Mode:

Given data in ascending order is 45, 47, 50, 52, 52, 54, 60, 62, 63, 74.

 

∴ The observation repeated maximum number of times = 52

∴ Mode = 52

 

Ans: The value of x is 52; for the given data the mean is 55.9 and the mode is 52.
