The number of times an observation occurs in a data is called its
  • a)
    Range
  • b)
    Raw data
  • c)
    Interval
  • d)
    Frequency
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation of Terms:
  • Frequency: The count of how many times a specific data point or value appears in a dataset. For example, if the number 5 appears 10 times in a dataset, the frequency of the number 5 is 10.
  • Range: The difference between the highest and lowest values in a dataset. For example, if the highest value is 20 and the lowest is 5, the range is 20 - 5 = 15.
  • Raw Data: The original, unprocessed data collected from observations or measurements before any analysis or summary is done.
  • Interval: In statistics, intervals are ranges of values within which data points fall. For example, if data is grouped into intervals like 10-20, 21-30, etc., each interval represents a range of values.
So, frequency is the term used to describe how many times a particular observation appears in a dataset.

  • c)
    37 pounds
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Anagha Basu answered
The Range is the difference between the lowest and highest values.
Here the highest value is 39 and the lowest value is 4 
So Range = Highest Value - Lowest Value
                  = 39 - 4 = 35 
So option B is the correct answer.

What is the arithmetic mean of 1, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 9 and 10?
  • a)
    5.5    
  • b)
    6
  • c)
    7.5                                 
  • d)
    10
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Arindam Kumar answered
Solution:
  1. Add all the numbers: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 55
  2. Count the total number of numbers: There are 10 numbers.
  3. Divide the sum by the total number of numbers: Arithmetic mean = 55 / 10 = 5.5
Therefore, the arithmetic mean of 1, 2, ..., 9, and 10 is 5.5.
 
Shortcut for Finding the Mean of Consecutive Numbers
For a series of consecutive numbers, the arithmetic mean is simply the average of the first and last number.
In this case, the numbers are consecutive from 1 to 10.
  • First number: 1
  • Last number: 10
Mean = (First number + Last number) / 2 = (1 + 10) / 2 = 11 / 2 = 5.5
Therefore, the arithmetic mean of 1, 2, ..., 9, and 10 is 5.5.
This shortcut works because the numbers are evenly spaced.
 

The arithmetic mean of five given numbers is 85. What is their sum?
  • a)
    425  
  • b)
    85
  • c)
    A number between 85 and 425.
  • d)
    A number greater than 500.
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Nisha dubey answered
arithmetic mean = sum of observation / total no of observation
therefore;
sum of observation = arithmetic mean x total no of observation
sum of observation = 85 X 5=425

Yogita Iyer answered
Problem:
There are 2 red, 3 blue, and 5 black balls in a bag. A ball is drawn from the bag without looking into the bag. What is the probability of getting a black ball?

Solution:
To find the probability of drawing a black ball, we need to calculate the number of favorable outcomes (drawing a black ball) and divide it by the number of possible outcomes (drawing any ball).

Step 1: Identify the Favorable Outcomes:
The favorable outcome in this case is drawing a black ball. There are 5 black balls in the bag.

Step 2: Identify the Possible Outcomes:
The possible outcomes are drawing any ball from the bag. Since there are 2 red, 3 blue, and 5 black balls in total, the number of possible outcomes is 2 + 3 + 5 = 10.

Step 3: Calculate the Probability:
The probability of an event is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the number of possible outcomes.

Probability of drawing a black ball = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Number of possible outcomes)
= 5 / 10
= 1/2

Therefore, the probability of drawing a black ball from the bag is 1/2 or 0.5.

Answer:
The correct answer is option C) 1/2.

There are 2 red, 3 blue and 5 black balls in a bag. A ball is drawn from the bag without looking in to the bag. What is the probability of getting a non-black ball?
a)None of these
b)3/5
c)2/5
d)1/2
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Shradha verma answered
The correct answer is d
No of red balls are 2.
The probability of getting a red ball is=no of favorable outcomes/total outcomes.
Here,
Total outcomes are=2+3+5=10
So,
Probability of getting a red ball is = 2/10= 1/5

Which student scored the highest marks?
  • a)
    Meenu
  • b)
    Vimla
  • c)
    Apala
  • d)
    Saroj
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

As we can see clearly that in the given bar graph we can see the marks of five students there marks are and the highest value given in the bar graph is 600. So there marks are
Apala =600
Meenu= 100
Vimal = 400
Saroj = 200
Indu = 300
Now arranging them in ascending order
= 100< />< />< />< />
= Mennu< />< />< />< apala="" />
So Therefore it is concluded that Apala marks is higer than all
So the answer is option c) Apala

Which of the following is correct about mode?
  • a)
    It is central.
  • b)
    It occurs most frequently.  
  • c)
    It lies between the maximum and minimum observations.
  • d)
    It is the average of the two middle terms.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Aravind Iyer answered
B) It occurs most frequently.

The mode is a measure of central tendency that represents the value or values that occur most frequently in a dataset. In other words, it is the value that appears with the highest frequency.

Explanation:

- The mode is the only measure of central tendency that focuses on the frequency of values rather than their magnitude. It is particularly useful when dealing with categorical or discrete data.

Example:
Let's consider the following dataset of exam scores: 75, 85, 90, 75, 80, 85, 75, 90, 85, 80.

To determine the mode, we need to identify the value(s) that occur most frequently. In this case, the value "75" appears three times, while all other values appear twice. Therefore, the mode of this dataset is 75.

- It is important to note that a dataset can have more than one mode if there are multiple values that occur with the same highest frequency. For example, if the dataset was: 75, 85, 90, 75, 80, 85, 75, 90, 80, 80, then both 75 and 80 would be modes since they both occur three times, while all other values occur twice.

- Unlike the mean and median, the mode can be applied to both numerical and categorical data. For example, in a dataset of favorite colors (e.g., red, blue, green, red, yellow, blue, blue), the mode would be "blue" since it occurs most frequently.

- The mode is not influenced by extreme values or outliers, making it a robust measure of central tendency. This means that even if there are values that occur significantly more or less frequently than others, they do not affect the mode.

- It is important to note that the mode is not always applicable or meaningful for every dataset. For example, in a dataset with no repeated values (e.g., 10, 20, 30, 40), there is no mode since no value occurs more frequently than others.

In conclusion, the mode is the measure of central tendency that represents the value or values that occur most frequently in a dataset, making option b) "It occurs most frequently" the correct statement about the mode.

The median of marks of class 95 - 100 is
  • a)
    100
  • b)
    95.5
  • c)
    97.5
  • d)
    95
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Sahil Desai answered
Understanding the Median
The median is a measure of central tendency that represents the middle value in a dataset when arranged in ascending order. In this case, we are looking at the marks of a class with values ranging from 95 to 100.
Data Set Arrangement
1. Identify the marks: The marks given are 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, and 100.
2. Arrange the data: The marks are already in ascending order:
- 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100
Finding the Median
3. Count the numbers: There are 6 marks in total.
4. Determine the median position:
- Since there is an even number of observations (6), the median is calculated by taking the average of the two middle values.
- The two middle values are the 3rd and 4th numbers in the ordered list: 97 and 98.
5. Calculate the median:
- Median = (97 + 98) / 2 = 195 / 2 = 97.5
Conclusion
Thus, the median of the marks from 95 to 100 is 97.5, confirming that the correct option is C. This value represents the central point of the data set, giving a clear picture of the overall performance of the class.

What is the median of the data 46,64,87, 41,58,77,35,90,55,33,92?

    87                  
  • b)
    77  
  • c)
    58                    
  • d)
    60.2
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Kaavya Menon answered
Arranging the given data in ascending order, we have, 33, 35, 41, 46, 55, 58, 64, 77, 87, 90 and 92.
As there are 11 terms ie. odd (n+1)/2 ,  (11+1)/2 = 6 .The sixth entry is 58. 
∴ Median is 58.
