The median score:
The median score is the middle value in a set of numbers when they are arranged in order. In this case, we have the scores of 11 cricket team members:

35, 39, 53, 28, 65, 62, 0, 46, 31, 08, 24

Arranging the scores in order:
To find the median score, we need to arrange the scores in ascending order:

0, 08, 24, 28, 31, 35, 39, 46, 53, 62, 65

Determining the middle value:
Now that the scores are arranged in order, we can determine the middle value. Since we have 11 scores, the middle value will be the 6th score.

0, 08, 24, 28, 31, 35, 39, 46, 53, 62, 65

The median score is 35:
Therefore, the median score is 35. Option C is the correct answer.

The heights of nine players of a team are 165cm, 168cm, 170cm, 174cm, 182cm, 160cm, 171cm, 173cm, 164cm. Find the median.
  • a)
    168 cm
  • b)
    170 cm
  • c)
    171 cm
  • d)
    None of these 
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

To find the median, we need to arrange the given heights in ascending order. The heights are:

160cm, 164cm, 165cm, 168cm, 170cm, 171cm, 173cm, 174cm, 182cm

Arranging them in ascending order, we get:

160cm, 164cm, 165cm, 168cm, 170cm, 171cm, 173cm, 174cm, 182cm

Now, let's find the middle value. Since there are 9 heights, the middle value will be the (9+1)/2 = 5th value.

Therefore, the median height is 170cm, which is option B.

If the mean of the given data 16, 24, x, 34, 35, 25, 37, 42, 47, is 32. What is the value of x?
  • a)
    26
  • b)
    27
  • c)
    28
  • d)
    29 
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Calculation of the missing value:
To find the missing value x in the given data, we can use the formula for calculating the mean of a set of numbers:
Mean = (Sum of all numbers) / (Total number of numbers)
Given data: 16, 24, x, 34, 35, 25, 37, 42, 47
Mean = 32

Step 1:
Calculate the sum of all the given numbers:
Sum = 16 + 24 + x + 34 + 35 + 25 + 37 + 42 + 47

Step 2:
Substitute the sum back into the formula for the mean:
32 = (Sum) / 9

Step 3:
Solve for the sum:
Sum = 32 * 9
Sum = 288

Step 4:
Substitute the sum back into the equation to find the missing value x:
288 = 16 + 24 + x + 34 + 35 + 25 + 37 + 42 + 47

Step 5:
Solve for x:
x = 288 - (16 + 24 + 34 + 35 + 25 + 37 + 42 + 47)
x = 288 - 260
x = 28
Therefore, the value of x in the given data set is 28. Hence, the correct answer is option 'C'.

What is the median of first 15 odd numbers?
  • a)
    15
  • b)
    17
  • c)
    19
  • d)
    21 
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

First 15 odd numbers are 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31.
n = 15, which is odd.

What is the mean of first seven prime numbers?
  • a)
    7.285
  • b)
    8.285
  • c)
    7.685
  • d)
    8.625

Understanding Prime Numbers
Prime numbers are natural numbers greater than 1 that cannot be formed by multiplying two smaller natural numbers. The first seven prime numbers are:
  • 2
  • 3
  • 5
  • 7
  • 11
  • 13
  • 17

Calculating the Mean
To find the mean (average) of these prime numbers, follow these steps:
1. Sum the Prime Numbers:
Add all seven prime numbers together.
- 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 + 17 = 58
2. Count the Numbers:
There are 7 prime numbers.
3. Divide the Sum by the Count:
Divide the total sum by the number of primes.
- Mean = Total Sum / Count = 58 / 7
Finding the Result
Calculating 58 divided by 7 gives approximately:
  • 58 / 7 = 8.285714285714286

Thus, the mean of the first seven prime numbers is approximately 8.285.
Conclusion
The closest answer from the available options is:
  • Option B: 8.285

This confirms that the correct answer is indeed option B.

  • b)
    19
  • c)
    21
  • d)
    22 
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Parth Menon answered
Calculating the Median:
To find the median of a set of numbers, you first need to arrange the numbers in ascending order. Once the numbers are in order, you can determine the middle value. If there is an odd number of values, the median is the middle number. If there is an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.

Arranging the Numbers in Ascending Order:
The given set of numbers is: 21, 15, 8, 28, 19, 23, 40, 7, 16, 9, 22
Arranging them in ascending order: 7, 8, 9, 15, 16, 19, 21, 22, 23, 28, 40

Finding the Median:
Since there are 11 numbers in the set, which is an odd number, the median is the middle number. In this case, the middle number is the 6th number in the ordered set, which is 19. Therefore, the median of the given set of numbers is 19.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B) 19.
