Question 1: If the heights of 5 persons are 140 cm, 150 cm, 152 cm, 158 cm and 161 cm respectively. Find the mean height.

Solution:

The heights of 5 persons are 140 cm , 150 cm , 152 cm , 158 cm and 161 cm (Given)

Mean height = (Sum of heights) / (Total number of persons)

Sum of heights = 140 + 150 + 152 + 158 + 161 = 761

Total number of persons = 5

So, Mean height = 761/5 =152.2

Question 2: Find the mean of 994 , 996 , 998 , 1002 , 1000.

Solution:

Sum of numbers = 994+996+998+1000+100 = 4990

Total counts = 5

Therefore, Mean = (Sum of numbers)/(Total Counts)

= 4990/5

= 998

Mean = 998

Question 3: Find the mean of first five natural numbers.

Solution:

First five natural numbers are 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5.

Sum of all the numbers = 1+2+3+4+5 = 15

= 4.5

Mean = 4.5

Question 5: Find the mean of first 10 even natural numbers.

Solution:

First 10 even natural numbers = 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 10 , 12 , 14 , 16 , 18 , 20

Sum of numbers = 2+4+6+8+10+12+14+16+18+20 = 110

Total Numbers = 10

Now,

Mean = (Sum of numbers) / (Total Numbers)

= 110/10

Mean = 11

Question 6: Find the mean of x , x + 2 , x + 4 , x + 6 , x + 8.

Solution:

Given numbers are x , x + 2 , x + 4 , x + 6 , x + 8.

Sum of numbers = x+(x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) + (x+8) = 5x+20

Total Numbers = 5

Now,

Mean = (Sum of numbers) / (Total Numbers)

= (5x+20)/5

= 5(x + 4)/5

= x + 4

Mean = x + 4

Question 7: Find the mean of first five multiples of 3.

Solution:

First five multiples of 3 are 3 , 6 , 9 , 12 , 15.

Exercise VSAQs Page No: 24.21

Question 1: If the ratio of mean and median of a certain data is 2:3, then find the ratio of its mode and mean.

Solution:

Empirical formula: Mode = 3 median – 2 mean

Since, ratio of mean and median of a certain data is 2:3, then mean = 2x and median = 3x

Mode = 3(3x) – 2(2x)

= 9x – 4x

= 5x

Therefore,

Mode: Mean = 5x:2x or 5: 2

Question 2: If the ratio of mode and median of a certain data is 6 : 5, then find the ratio of its mean and median.

Solution: We know, Empirical formula: Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean

Since, ratio of mode and median of a certain data is 6:5.

⇒ Mode/Median = 6/5

or Mode = (6 Median)/5

Now,

(6 Median)/5 = 3 Median – 2 Mean

(6 Median)/5 – 3 Median = – 2 Mean

or 9/10 (Median) = Mean

or Mean/ Median = 9/10 or 9:10.

Question 3: If the mean of x+2, 2x+3, 3x+4, 4x+5 is x+2, find x.

Solution:

Given: Mean of x+2, 2x+3, 3x+4, 4x+5 is x+2

We know, Mean = (Sum of all the observations) / (Total number of observations)

Sum of all the observations = x+2 + 2x+3 + 3x+4 + 4x+5 = 10x + 14

Total number of observations = 4

⇒ Mean = (10x + 14)/4

or (x + 2) = (10x + 14)/4 (using given)

4x + 8 = 10x + 14

x = -1

Question 4: The arithmetic mean and mode of a data are 24 and 12 respectively, then find the median of the data.

Solution:

Given: The arithmetic mean and mode of a data are 24 and 12 respectively

We know, Empirical formula: Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean

or 3 Median = Mode + 2 Mean

Using given values, we get

3 Median = 12 + 2(24) = 60

or Median = 20

Question 5: If the difference of mode and median of a data is 24, then find the difference of median and mean.

Solution:

Given: difference of mode and median of a data is 24.

That is, Mode – Median = 24

or Mode = 24 + Median …(1)

We know, Empirical formula: Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean

24 + Median = 3 Median – 2 Mean

(Using (1))

24 = 2 Median – 2 Mean

or 12 = Median – Mean

Therefore, the difference of median and mean is 12.
