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
  • $75$
  • B
    $157$
  • C
    $82$
  • D
    $80$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$75$
a
(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$.

If the standard deviation of $0, 1, 2, 3, …..,9$ is $K$, then the standard deviation of $10, 11, 12, 13 …..19$ is
  • $K$
  • B
    $K + 10$
  • C
    $K + \sqrt {10} $
  • D
    $10\ K$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$K$
a
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 $y _{ i }$,

$y _{ i }=10+ x _{ i } \Rightarrow \overline{ y }=10+\overline{ x }$

So, $\overline{ y }- y _{ i }=\overline{ x }- x _{ i }$

  • A
    $2$ and $9$
  • B
    $3$ and $8$
  • $4$ and $7$
  • D
    $5$ and $6$
Answer
Correct 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
    None of these
Answer
Correct 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$.

(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 ${n_2} = 100 - {n_1}$

$30 = \frac{{32{n_1} + (100 - {n_1})27}}{{100}}$

==> $30 = \frac{{32{n_1} + 2700 - 27{n_1}}}{{100}}$

==> $3000 - 2700 = 32{n_1} - 27{n_1}$

Answer
Correct option: C.
the median decreases

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.

$5498.5$
b
(b)

Four digits number which is divisible by $7$ are $1001,1008,1015, \ldots .$ $9996 .$

Hence, total number of such numbers $=1286$

$Median=\frac{\left(\frac{N}{2}\right)^{\text {th }} observatio+\left(\frac{N}{2}+1\right)^{\text {th }}\,observation}{2}$

$Median=\frac{\left(\frac{1286}{2}\right)^{\text {th }}\,observation+\left(\frac{N}{2}+1\right)^{\text {th }}\,observation}{2}$

$=\frac{643^{th}+644^{th}}{2}$

$=\frac{(1001+(642)7)+(1001)+(643)7)}{2}$

$=\frac{2(1001)+7(642+643)}{2}$

$=\frac{2(1001)+7(1285)}{2}$

$=1001+4497.5=5498.5$

MCQ 501 Mark
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 $Q^{\prime} < Q$
Answer
Correct 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.
