Exercise 24(A)

Question 1.
Find the mean of the following set of numbers:
(i) 6, 9, 11, 12 and 7
(ii) 11, 14, 23, 26, 10, 12, 18 and 6
Solution:

Question 2.
Marks obtained (in mathematics) by 9 student are given below:
60, 67, 52, 76, 50, 51, 74, 45 and 56
(a) find the arithmetic mean
(b) if marks of each student be increased by 4; what will be the new value of arithmetic
mean.
Solution:
Question 3.
Find the mean of the natural numbers from 3 to 12.
Solution:

Question 4.
(a) Find the mean of 7, 11, 6, 5, and 6
(b) If each number given in (a) is diminished by 2, find the new value of mean.
Solution:

Question 5.
If the mean of 6, 4, 7, ‘a’ and 10 is 8. Find the value of ‘a’
Solution:
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

Question 6.
The mean of the number 6, ‘y’, 7, ‘x’ and 14 is 8. Express ‘y’ in terms of ‘x’.
Solution:
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
Question 7.

Solution:

Question 8.
If 69.5 is the mean of 72, 70, ‘x’, 62, 50, 71, 90, 64, 58 and 82, find the value of ‘x’.
Solution:
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

(ii) 9, 11, 8, 11, 16, 9, 11, 5, 3, 11, 17 and 8
Solution:
(i) Mode = 7
Since 7 occurs 4 times
(ii) Mode = 11
Since it occurs 4 times
Question 2.
