1. Find the value of x and y in following distribution if it known that the mean of the
distribution is 1.46.

Ans. X = 76, y = 38

2. The mean monthly salary of 10 members of a group is Rs. 1445, one more member
whose monthly salary is Rs. 1500 has joined the group. Find the mean monthly salary of
11 members of the group.

Ans. 1450

Prepare a frequency distribution table.

Ans.

Question for self-evaluation

4. If are n values of a variable X such that

find the value of n and mean.

Ans. N = 30, mean =

5. The mean of 200 items was 50. Later on, it was discovered that the two items were
misread as 92 and 8 instead of 192 and 88. Find the correct mean.

Ans. 50.9

6. Find the value of p, if the mean of following distribution is 20.

Ans. 1

7. Prove that the sum of the deviations of individual’s observations from the mean is
zero.

Ans. Let x1, x2, x3, -------, xn be n individual’s observations whose mean is . The sum of the

deviations of these n observations from is given by

Material downloaded from myCBSEguide.com. 2 / 8

Since mean of n observation x1, x2, x3, -------, x is given as

= 0

Hence proved.

8. From the data given below find:

(a) Lower limit of the third class

(b) Upper limit of the seventh class.

(c) Class boundaries of the sixth class.

(d) The class mark of the fifth class.

(e) The size of the second class

(f) Draw histogram of the data.

Ans. (a) Lower limit of the third class =250

(b) Upper limit of the seventh class. = 500

(c) Class boundaries of the sixth class. = 400 – 450

(d) The class mark of the fifth class. = 375

(e) The size of the second class = 50

(f) Histogram

9. Draw a histogram with frequency polygon for the following data:

Ans. Ascertainment of lower and upper class limits: since the difference between the second
and first mid-points is 25-29

Let h=1

Then for continuous frequency distribution, we subtract from lower limit and Add to

upper limit.

10. The average score of girls in class examination in a school is 67 and that of boys is
63. The average score for the whole class is 64.5 find the percentage of girls and boys in
the class.

Ans. Let the number of girls and boys be n1 and n2 respectively.

We have:

 Average score of girls =67

Average score of boys =63

Average score of the whole class=64.5

Total number of students in the class

percentage of girls

And percentage of boys,

11. Find the unknown entries (a, b, c, d, e, f) from the following frequency distribution
of heights of 50 students in a class.

Ans. Since the given frequency distribution is the frequency distribution of 50 students.

Therefore, g = 50

From the table, we have

a = 12, b + 12 = 25, 12 + b + 10 = c, 12 + b + 10 + d = 43,

12 + b + 10 + d + e = 48 and 12 + b + 10 + d + e + g = f

Now,

b + 12 = 25 b = 13

12 + b + 10 = c

12 + 13 + 10 = c [ b = 13]

c = 35

12 + b + 10 + d = 43

12 + 13 + 10 + d = 43 [ b = 13]

d = 8

12 + b + 10 + d + e = 48

12 + 13 + 10 + 8 + e = 48 [ b=13, d= 8]

e = 5

and 12 + b + 10 + d + e + 2 = f

12 + 13 + 10 + 8 + 5 + 2 = f

and f = 50

Hence, a = 12,
b = 13,
c = 35,
d = 8,
e = 5,
f = 50
