Question 14 Marks
Find the median of 18, 19, 20, 23, 22, 20, 17, 19, 25 and 21
Answer
$18,19,20,23,22,20,17,19,25$ and 21
Arranging in ascending order: 17, 18, 19, 19, 20, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25
Here, numbers of terms $=10$ which is even.
$ \begin{aligned} & \therefore \text { Median }=\left\{\frac{\mathrm{n}}{2} \text { th term }+\left(\frac{\mathrm{n}}{2}+1\right) \text { th term }\right\} \\ & =\frac{1}{2}\left\{\frac{10}{2} \text { th term }+\left(\frac{10}{2}+1\right) \text { th term }\right\} \\ & =\frac{1}{2}\{5 \text { th term }+6 \text { th term }\} \\ & =\frac{1}{2}\{20+20\} \\ & =\frac{1}{2} \times 20=20 \end{aligned} $
Hence, median $=20$

Question 24 Marks
Find the mean of squares of first five whole numbers.
Answer
First five whole numbers are $0,1,2,3,4$
Then square the whole prime numbers
$ \begin{aligned} & =(0)^2,(1)^2,(2)^2,(3)^2,(4)^2 \\ & =0,1,4,9,16 \end{aligned} $
$\therefore$ Mean $=\frac{0+1+4+9+16}{5}$ (Here $\mathrm{n}=5)$
$ =\frac{30}{5} $
$ =6 $

Question 44 Marks
Find the mean, the median, and the mode of 21, 24, 21, 6, 15, 18, 21, 45, 9, 6, 27 and 15.
Answer

$ \begin{aligned} & 21,24,21,6,15,18,21,45,9,6,27 \text { and } 15 \\ & \therefore \text { Mean }=\frac{21+24+21+6+15+18+21+45+9+6+27+15}{12} \\ & =\frac{228}{12}=19 \end{aligned} $
Numbers are $21,24,21,6,15,18,21,45,9,6,27$ and 15
Mostly repeated term $=21$
$\therefore$ Mode $=21$
Now, Arranging the numbers in ascending order $=6,6,9,15,15,18,21,21,21,24,27,45$
Here, number of terms $=12$ which is even
$ \begin{aligned} & \therefore \text { Median }=\frac{1}{2}\left\{\frac{\mathrm{n}}{2} \text { th term }+\left(\frac{\mathrm{n}}{2}+1\right) \text { th term }\right\} \\ & =\frac{1}{2}\left\{\frac{12}{2} \text { th term }+\left(\frac{12}{2}+1\right) \text { th term }\right\} \\ & =\frac{1}{2}\{6 \text { th term }+7 \text { th term }\} \\ & =\frac{1}{2}\{18+21\} \\ & =\frac{1}{2} \times 39 \\ & =19.5 \end{aligned} $

Question 54 Marks
Find the mean, the median, and the mode of 12, 24, 24, 12, 30 and 12.
Answer
$12,24,24,12,30$ and 12
$ \therefore \text { Mean }=\frac{12+24+24+12+30+12}{6} $
$ =\frac{114}{6}=19 $
Numbers are $12,24,24,12,30$ and 12
Mostly repeated term $=12$
$\therefore$ Mode $=12$
Now, Arranging the numbers in ascending order $=12,12,12,24,24,30$
Here, number of terms 6 which is even
$\therefore$ Median $=\frac{1}{2}\left\{\frac{\mathrm{n}}{2}\right.$ th term $+\left(\frac{\mathrm{n}}{2}+1\right)$ th term $\}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\left\{\frac{6}{2}\right.$ th term $+\left(\frac{6}{2}+1\right)$ th term $\}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\{3$ th term +4 th term $\}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\{12+24\}$
$=\frac{1}{2} \times 36$
$ =18 $
$\therefore$ Median $=18$

Question 64 Marks
The heights (in cm) of 8 girls of a class are 140, 142, 135, 133, 137, 150, 148 and 138 respectively. Find the mean height of these girls and their median height.
Answer
Arranging in ascending order: $133,135,137,138,140,142,148,150$
Here, the number of girls $=8$ which is even
$ \begin{aligned} & \therefore \text { Median }=\frac{1}{2}\left\{\frac{\mathrm{n}}{2} \text { th term }+\left(\frac{\mathrm{n}}{2}+1\right) \text { th term }\right\} \\ & =\frac{1}{2}\left\{\frac{8}{2} \text { th term }+\left(\frac{8}{2}+1\right) \text { th term }\right\} \\ & =12\{4 \text { th term }+5 \text { th term }\} \\ & =\frac{1}{2}\{138+140\} \mathrm{cm} \\ & =\frac{1}{2} \times 278 \\ & =139 \mathrm{~cm} \\ & \therefore \text { Mean }=\frac{133+135+137+138+140+142+148+150}{8} \\ & =\frac{1123}{8} \mathrm{~cm} \\ & =140.375 \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned} $

Question 74 Marks
Find the mean and the mode for the following data:
Term $18$ $22$ $23$ $30$ $34$ $38$
Frequency $3$ $5$ $10$ $2$ $8$ $2$
Answer
We prepare the table given below:
Term
$(x_i)$		 Frequency
$(f_i)$
$(f_ix_i)$
$18$ $3$ $54$
$22$ $5$ $110$
$26$ $10$ $260$
$30$ $2$ $60$
$34$ $8$ $276$
$38$ $2$ $76$
Total $30$ $832$
Mean $=\frac{\sum \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}} \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}}{\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{i}}}=\frac{832}{30}=27.73$
Since the frequency of Number $26$ is maximum.
$\therefore$ Mode $=26$

Question 84 Marks
The mean of six numbers: x − 5, x − 1, x, x + 2, x + 4 and x + 12 is 15. Find the mean of first four numbers.
Answer
The mean of six numbers are $x-5, x-1, x, x+2, x+4$ and $x+12$ is 15
$ \begin{aligned} & \therefore \text { Mean }=\frac{(\mathrm{x}-5)+(\mathrm{x}-1)+(\mathrm{x})+(\mathrm{x}+2)+(\mathrm{x}+4)+(\mathrm{x}+12)}{6} \\ & =\frac{\mathrm{x}-5+\mathrm{x}-1+\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{x}+2+\mathrm{x}+4+\mathrm{x}+12}{6} \\ & =\frac{12+6 \mathrm{x}}{6}=15 \\ & \Rightarrow 12+6 \mathrm{x}=90 \\ & \Rightarrow 6 x=90-12 \\ & \Rightarrow 6 x=78 \\ & \Rightarrow x=\frac{78}{6}=13 \\ & x=13 \end{aligned} $
$\therefore$ The six numbers are $(13-5),(13-1), 13,(13+2),(13+4),(13+12)$ i.e. $8,12,13,15,17,25$
Now, mean of first four numbers $=\frac{8+12+13+15}{4}=\frac{48}{4}=12$
