If the mean of the numbers $27 + x$, $31 + x$, $89 + x$, $107 + x,\,156 + x$ is $82,$ then the mean of $130 + x,\,126 + x,\,68 + x,\,50 + x,\,1 + x$ is
Answera
(a) Given,
$82 = \frac{{(27 + x) + (31 + x) + (89 + x) + (107 + x) + (156 + x)}}{5}$
==> $82 \times 5 = 410 + 5x$ ==> $410 - 410 = 5x$
==> $x = 0$
Required mean is,
$\bar x = \frac{{130 + x + 126 + x + 68 + x + 50 + x + 1 + x}}{5}$
$\bar x = \frac{{375 + 5x}}{5}$
$ = \frac{{375 + 0}}{5}$$ = \frac{{375}}{5}$= $75.$

$n = \sum f = 159$. Here $n = 159$, which is odd
$\therefore $Median number$ = \frac{1}{2}(n + 1) = \frac{1}{2}(159 + 1) = 80$,
which is in the class $30-40$. (see the row of cumulative frequency $95$, which contains $80$).
Hence median class is $30-40$.
$\therefore$ We have,
$l$ = Lower limit of median class = $30$
$f$ = Frequency of median class = $45$
$C$ = Total of all frequencies preceding median class = $50$
$i$ = Width of class interval of median class = $10$
$\therefore$ Required median $ = l + \frac{{\frac{N}{2} - C}}{f} \times i$ $ = 30 + \frac{{\frac{{159}}{2} - 50}}{{45}} \times 10 = 30 + \frac{{295}}{{45}} = 36.55$.

As the standard deviation only depend upon total no of values and the difference between mean and each value,
Both sequence have same standard deviation.
Note:
If $1^{\text {st }}$ sequence is $x _{ i }$ and $2^{\text {nd }}$ sequence is $y _{ i }$,
$y _{ i }=10+ x _{ i } \Rightarrow \overline{ y }=10+\overline{ x }$

$5$ and $6$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $4$ and $7$
c
(c) Let the two unknown items be $x$ and $y$, then
Mean $ = 4 \Rightarrow \frac{{1 + 2 + 6 + x + y}}{5} = 4$
==> $x + y = 11$ .....$(i)$
and variance = $5. 2$
==> $\frac{{{1^2} + {2^2} + {6^2} + {x^2} + {y^2}}}{5} - {({\rm{mean}})^2} = 5.2$
$41 + {x^2} + {y^2} = 5[5.2 + {(4)^2}]$
$41 + {x^2} + {y^2} = 106$
${x^2} + {y^2} = 65$.....$(ii)$
Solving $(i)$ and $(ii)$ for $x$ and $y$, we get
$x = 4,y = 7$ or $x = 7,y = 4$.

The mean and $S.D.$ of the marks of $200$ candidates were found to be $40$ and $15$ respectively. Later, it was discovered that a score of $40$ was wrongly read as $50$. The correct mean and $S.D.$ respectively are...
- A
$14.98, 39.95$
- ✓
$39.95, 14.98$
- C
$39.95, 224.5$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: B. $39.95, 14.98$
b
(b) Corrected $\Sigma x = 40 \times 200 - 50 + 40 = 7990$
Corrected $\bar x = 7990/200$$ = 39.95$
Incorrect $\Sigma {x^2} = n\,[{\sigma ^2} + {\bar x^2}] = 200[{15^2} + {40^2}] = 365000$
Correct $\Sigma {x^2} = 365000 - 2500 + 1600$$ = 364100$
Corrected $\sigma = \sqrt {\frac{{364100}}{{200}} - {{(39.95)}^2}} $
$ = \sqrt {(1820.5 - 1596)} $$ = \sqrt {224.5} = 14.98$.

One set containing five numbers has mean $8$ and variance $18$ and the second set containing $3$ numbers has mean $8$ and variance $24$. Then the variance of the combined set of numbers is
AnswerCorrect option: B. $20.25$
b
(b) Here ${n_1} = 5$, ${\bar x_1} = 8$, $\sigma _1^2 = 18$, ${n_2} = 3$ ${\bar x_2} = 8$, $\sigma _2^2 = 24$
$\bar x = $ combined mean $ = \frac{{5 \times 8 + 3 \times 8}}{{5 + 3}}$ $ = \frac{{64}}{8} = 8$
Combined variance $ = \frac{{{n_1}(\sigma _1^2 + D_1^2) + {n_2}(\sigma _2^2 + D_2^2)}}{{{n_1} + {n_2}}}$,
where ${D_1} = {\bar x_1} - \bar x$, ${D_2} = {\bar x_2} - \bar x$
Now, ${D_1} = 8 - 8;\,\,{D_2} = 8 - 8 = 0$
Combined variance $ = \frac{{5(18) + 3(24)}}{{5 + 3}}$ $ = \frac{{90 + 72}}{8}$ $ = \frac{{162}}{8}$ = $20.25$.

$4$ and $8$
- ✓
$4$ and $9$
- C
$5$ and $7$
- D
$5$ and $9$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $4$ and $9$
b
(b) Let the two unknown items be $x$ and $y$.
Then, mean $ = 4.4 \Rightarrow \frac{{1 + 2 + 6 + x + y}}{5} = 4.4$
==> $x + y = 13$.....$(i)$
and variance $= 8.24$
==> $\frac{{{1^2} + {2^2} + {6^2} + {x^2} + {y^2}}}{5}$ -${({\rm{mean}})^2} = 8.24$
==> $41 + {x^2} + {y^2} = 5\,\{ {(4.4)^2} + 8.24\} $
==> ${x^2} + {y^2} = 97$.....$(ii)$
Solving $(i)$ and $(ii)$ for $x$ and $y$, we get
$x = 9,\,\,y = 4$ or $x = 4,y = 9$.

Answerc
$\frac{1}{{20}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2} = 5} $
$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2} = 100} $
new observations are $2 \mathrm{x}_{1}, 2 \mathrm{x}_{2}, \ldots \ldots, 2 \mathrm{x}_{20}$
Their mean $=\overline{\mathrm{x}}_{1}=\frac{2\left(\mathrm{x}_{1}+\mathrm{x}_{2}+\ldots+\mathrm{x}_{20}\right)}{20}=2 \overline{\mathrm{x}}$
Now, variance$ = \frac{1}{{20}}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{{\left( {2{x_i} - 2\bar x} \right)}^2}} $
$ = \frac{1}{{20}} \times 4\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {{{\left( {{x_i} - \bar x} \right)}^2}} $

The mean age of a combined group of men and women is $30$ years. If the means of the age of men and women are respectively $32$ and $27$, then the percentage of women in the group is
Answerb
(b) The formula for combined mean is $\bar x = \frac{{{n_1}{{\bar x}_1} + {n_2}{{\bar x}_2}}}{{{n_1} + {n_2}}}$
Given, $\bar x = 30$, ${\bar x_1} = 32$, $\overline {{x_2}} = 27$
Let ${n_1} + {n_2} = 100$ and ${n_1}$ denotes men, ${n_2}$ denotes women for this ${n_2} = 100 - {n_1}$
$30 = \frac{{32{n_1} + (100 - {n_1})27}}{{100}}$
==> $30 = \frac{{32{n_1} + 2700 - 27{n_1}}}{{100}}$
==> $3000 - 2700 = 32{n_1} - 27{n_1}$
==>$300 = 5{n_1}$ ==>${n_1} = 60$
So, ${n_2} = 40$
Hence, the percentage of women in the group is $40$.

Answerc
(c) The formula for combined mean is $\bar x = \frac{{{n_1}{{\bar x}_1} + {n_2}{{\bar x}_2}}}{{{n_1} + {n_2}}}$
Given, $\bar x = 500$,${\bar x_1} = 510$,${\bar x_2} = 460$
Let ${n_1} + {n_2} = 100$ and ${n_1}$ denotes male, ${n_2}$ denotes female for this ${n_2} = 100 - {n_1}$
$500 = \frac{{510{n_1} + (100 - {n_1})460}}{{100}}$
==> $50000{\rm{ }} = 510{n_1} + 46000 - 460{n_1}$
==> $50000{\rm{ }} - 46000 = 50{n_1}$
==> $4000 = 50{n_1}$
==> ${n_1} = \frac{{4000}}{{50}} = 80$.
Hence, the percentage of male employees in the factory is $80$.

Let $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_{11}$ be 11 distinct positive integers. If we replace the largest of these integers by the median of the other $10$ integers, then
- A
the median remains the same
- B
- ✓
- D
the mean remains the same
Answerc
(c)
Let the given $11$ distinct positive integers are in increasing order
$x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5, x_6, x_7, x_8, x_9, x_{10}, x_{11}$, so $x_{11}$ is largest of these integers and the median is $x_6$.
Now, median of first $10$ numbers is
$\frac{x_6+x_6}{2}=m$ (Let)
Now, we have to replace largest number $x_{11}$ by $m$ and then increasing order will be
$x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5, m, x_6, x_7, x_8, x_9, x_{10}$
$m < x_6$ as $x_5 < \frac{x_5+x_6}{2} < x_6$
So, median decreases.

The average incomes of the people in two villages are $P$ and $Q$, respectively. Assume that $P \neq Q$. A person moves from the first village to the second village. The new average incomes are $P^{\prime}$ and $Q$, respectively. Which of the following is not possible?
- A
$P^{\prime}>P$ and $Q^{\prime}>Q$
- B
$P^{\prime}>P$ and $Q^{\prime} < Q$
- ✓
$P^{\prime}=P$ and $Q^{\prime}=Q$
- D
$P^{\prime} < P$ and $Q^{\prime} < Q$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $P^{\prime}=P$ and $Q^{\prime}=Q$
c
$(c)$ Let the number of people in two villages are $x$ and $y$ respectively.
Given, average income of $x$ people $=P$ and average income of $y$ people $=Q$
$\therefore$ Total income of people in two villages are $P_x$ and $Q_y$ respectively.
One person moves from first village to second village.
Then, number of people in first village
$=x-1$ and second village $=y+1$.
Average income $=P^{\prime}$ and $Q^{\prime}$
$\therefore$ Total income $=P^{\prime}(x-1)$ and $Q^{\prime}(y+1)$
Total income in both cases are same
$\therefore P x+Q y=P^{\prime}(x-1)+Q^{\prime}(y+1)$
$\Rightarrow P x-P^{\prime}(x-1)=Q^{\prime}(y+1)-Q y$
$\Rightarrow x\left(P-P^{\prime}\right)+P^{\prime}=y\left(Q^{\prime}-Q\right)+Q^{\prime}$
$\therefore P^{\prime} \neq P$ and $Q^{\prime} \neq Q$
Hence, option $(c)$ is correct.
