Vikas Kumar answered
Mean of 5 nos.= 28

Therefore, sum of the 5 nos. = 28 * 5 = 140 

The the no. exclude by 'x'.

New sum of 4 nos.= 140 - x

New mean = 28- 2 = 26

Therefore, (140 - x ) / 4 = 26

=> 140 - x = 104

=> x = 36

Lighτ Yαmɪ answered
Sum of Series 1²+2²+3²+….+n² = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6
[as, (1+2+3+4+…..n) = n(n+1) / 2
Using the identity: a^3 -b^3 = (a-b)(a² +ab +b²)

We get, x^3 -(x-1)^3 = 3x² -3x +1 , by putting x = 1,2,3…n

We get,

1^3 - 0^3 = 3×1² - 3×1 + 1

2^3 -1^3 = 3×2² - 3×2 +1

3^3 - 2^3 = 3×3² - 3×3 +1

…..

n^3 - (n-1)^3 = 3*n² - 3n +1

By adding LHS up to x=3

1^3–0^3 + 2^3–1^3 + 3^3–2^3 = 3^3 -0^3

So by adding LHS up to x= n

We get, n^3 - 0^3 …….. LHS

Now by adding RHS =

3( 1²+2²+3² +…n²) - 3( 1+2+3+….n) + n

=3(1²+2²+3²+..n²) = n^3 +3(1+2+3+…n) -n

=(1² +2²+3²+..n²) = 1/3 [n^3 +(3 n(n+1)/2) - n]

=(1²+2² +3² +..n²) = 1/3 [ (2n^3 +3n²+3n - 2n) /2 ]

= (1²+2²+3²+..n²) = ( 2n^3 +3n² +n) /6

=n (n+1)(2n+1) /6]

mean=sum/number of terms
=n(n+1)(2n+1)/6×n
=(n+1) (2n+1) /6

Hence, option A is correct

Mean of Data Set

To find the mean of a data set, we add up all the numbers in the set and then divide by the total number of values in the set.

Calculation

To find the mean of the given data set, we need to add up all the numbers in the set and then divide by the total number of values in the set:

Mean = (45 + 35 + 20 + 15 + 25 + 40) / 6

Mean = 180 / 6

Mean = 30

Therefore, the mean of the given data set is 30. The correct answer is option C.

Mean of First 10 Multiples of 6

To find the mean of the first 10 multiples of 6, we need to add the first 10 multiples of 6 and divide by 10.

Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60

Addition: 6 + 12 + 18 + 24 + 30 + 36 + 42 + 48 + 54 + 60 = 330

Mean: 330/10 = 33

Therefore, the correct answer is option B, 33.

Mode is not affected by
  • a)
    Maximum value
  • b)
    Minimum value
  • c)
    Extreme values
  • d)
    All of the above
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
The mode of a set of data values is the value that appears most often.it is the value that is most likely to be sampled This means mode is the observations whose frequency is highest. So it does not pay attention to what is the maximum value or the minimum value . So it is not affected either by maximum or minimum values and its not affected by both as well.

The mean of a data set with 12 observations is calculated as 19.25. If one more value is included in the data, then for the new data with 13 observations, mean becomes 20. Value of this 13th observation is​
  • a)
    28
  • b)
    29
  • c)
    31
  • d)
    30
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Anita Menon answered
Suppose be all twelevth terms = x
Mean = Terms / Observation
19 . 25 = x / 12
x = 19.25 × 12
x = 231 .00

Now let thirteenth term will be y
Mean = 20
So, 20 = x + y / 13
20 = 231 + y / 13
20 × 13 = 231 + x
260 = 231 + x
260 - 231 = x
29 = x

3median = 2mean+mode
3median = 2(15k)+12k
3median = 30k+12k
3median = 42k
median = 42k/3
median = 14k

Anmol Das answered
Mean of First Ten Even Natural Numbers

To find the mean of the first ten even natural numbers, we need to add all the even numbers and divide the sum by the total number of even numbers. The first ten even natural numbers are:

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20

1. Add up the Even Numbers

Add up all the even numbers:

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

2. Divide the Sum by the Total Number of Even Numbers

Since there are 10 even numbers in the list, we divide the sum by 10:

110 ÷ 10 = 11

Therefore, the mean of the first ten even natural numbers is 11. Option 'B' is the correct answer.

The modal class in the following frequency distribution is:

 The modal class is the class with the highest frequency ie, the class which occurs the most. So,30-40 has frequency 30 which is the highest, therefore, 30-40 is the modal class.

The mean of first 10 composite numbers is
  • a)
    11.2
  • b)
    12.2
  • c)
    11.4
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

First 10 composite numbers are :
4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18.

Mean = Sum of all observations ÷ Total no: of observations.
Sum of all observations = 4 + 6 + 8 + 9 + 1 0 +12 + 1 4 +15+ 16 + 18 = 112

Total no : of observations : 10

Mean = 112 / 10
= 11.2

The graphical representation of a cumulative frequency distribution is called

    Bar graph
  • b)
    Histogram
  • c)
    Frequency polygon
  • d)
    Ogive
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Anjana Khatri answered
The graphical representation of a cumulative frequency distribution is called an ogive.
An ogive is a graph that plots the cumulative frequency of a set of data on the y-axis and the data values on the x-axis. It is used to represent the distribution of continuous data and is shaped like a curve.
A frequency polygon is also a graph that represents the frequency distribution of a set of data, but it is shaped like a polygon with straight lines connecting the data points. A bar graph is a graph that uses bars to represent the frequencies or counts of a set of data, and a histogram is a graph that represents the frequency distribution of continuous data using bars.

The mean of 25 observations is 36. If the mean of first 13 observations is 32 and that of the last 13 observations is 39, then the 13th observation is
  • a)
    13
  • b)
    23
  • c)
    26
  • d)
    32
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rohan Kapoor answered
Mean of 25 observation = 36
Sum of 25 observations = 36 x 25 = 900

Mean of first 13 observations = 32
Sum of first 13 observations = 32 x 13 = 416

Mean of last 13 observations = 39
Sum of last 13 observations= 39 x 13 = 507

13th observation = (416 + 507) - 900
13th observation= 923 - 900
So, 13th observation = 23

In the formula, Mode

  • c)
    frequency of the class preceding the modal class
  • d)
    frequency of the class succeeding the modal class
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Crafty Classes answered
The formula to find the mode of the grouped data is: Mode = l + [(f1-f0)/(2f1-f0-f2)]×h. Where, l = lower class limit of modal class, h = class size, f1 = frequency of modal class, f0 = frequency of class proceeding to modal class, f2 = frequency of class succeeding to modal class.

Modal age of students in given distribution is​
  • a)
    14 years
  • b)
    12 years
  • c)
    13 years
  • d)
    15 years
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Amit Sharma answered
Mode is the most frequently occurring observation. Since it's not a grouped data the frequency is the occurrence of only one observation , So the highest no. of frequency is 7 . So the modal age is 13.

While computing mean of a grouped data, we assume that the frequencies are
  • a)
    centered at the lower limits of the classes
  • b)
    centered at the upper limits of the classes
  • c)
    centered at the class marks of the classes
  • d)
    evenly distributed over all the classes
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Kds Coaching answered
  • When computing the mean of grouped data, we assume that the frequencies are centered at the class marks of the classes.
  • This means that each frequency is associated with the midpoint of its respective class interval.
  • Using the class marks allows for an accurate calculation of the mean by multiplying each class mark by its frequency, summing these products, and then dividing by the total frequency.

The mode of 12, 17, 16, 14, 13, 16, 11, 14 is
  • a)
    13
  • b)
    11
  • c)
    14
  • d)
    14 and 16
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

To find the mode of a set of numbers, we need to determine the number(s) that appear most frequently in the set. In this case, the set of numbers is 12, 17, 16, 14, 13, 16, 11, and 14.

**Step 1: Arrange the numbers in ascending order:**
11, 12, 13, 14, 14, 16, 16, 17

**Step 2: Count the frequency of each number:**
11 appears once
12 appears once
13 appears once
14 appears twice
16 appears twice
17 appears once

**Step 3: Determine the number(s) with the highest frequency:**
In this case, the numbers 14 and 16 appear most frequently, each occurring twice. Therefore, the mode of the set is 14 and 16.

However, the options provided are a)13, b)11, c)14, and d)14 and 16. The correct answer is option d)14 and 16 because both numbers have the highest frequency in the set.

Therefore, the mode of the given set of numbers 12, 17, 16, 14, 13, 16, 11, and 14 is 14 and 16.

For the following distribution the modal class is
  • a)
    30-40
  • b)
    40-50
  • c)
    20-30
  • d)
    10-20
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

To find the modal class from a given frequency distribution, we look for the class interval with the highest frequency. The class interval with the highest frequency is referred to as the modal class.
In the provided distribution, we have cumulative frequencies, so we need to first determine the frequency of each class interval. To do this, we subtract the cumulative frequency of the preceding class from the cumulative frequency of the current class.
Here are the cumulative frequencies provided for each class:
  • Marks below 10: 2 students
  • Marks below 20: 11 students
  • Marks below 30: 25 students
  • Marks below 40: 45 students
  • Marks below 50: 67 students
  • Marks below 60: 75 students
Now let's calculate the frequency for each class interval:
  • 10-20: 11−2=911−2=9
  • 20-30: 25−11=1425−11=14
  • 30-40: 45−25=2045−25=20
  • 40-50: 67−45=2267−45=22
  • 50-60: 75−67=875−67=8
The class interval with the highest frequency is 40-50 with 22 students, making it the modal class. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2: 40-50.
