Math Olympiad Test: Statistics- 3 - Question 1

The mean of 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 4 is m. The numbers 3, 2, 2, 4, 3, 3, p have mean m – 1 and median q. Then, p + q =

Detailed Solution: Question 1

Mean of 1,3, 4, 5, 7 and 4 is m.
⇒ 1 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 7 + 4 / 6 = m
⇒ m = 4
Now, mean of 3, 2, 2, 4, 3, 3 and p is m - 1
3 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 3 + 3 + p / 7 = 3
⇒ 17 + p = 21 ⇒ p = 4
Arranging 3, 2, 2, 4, 3, 3, and 4 in ascending order, we get 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4
∴ Median (q) =   term = 4th term = 3 
⇒ p + q= 4 + 3 = 7

Math Olympiad Test: Statistics- 3 - Question 2

Find the mode for the following data.

Detailed Solution: Question 2

Since, maximum class frequency is 35, so the mode class is 18 - 24.

Now, Mode = 

= 1 8 + 2.22 = 20.22

Math Olympiad Test: Statistics- 3 - Question 3

Which of the following is not a measure of central tendency?

Detailed Solution: Question 3

Mean, median and mode are the measures of central tendency.

Math Olympiad Test: Statistics- 3 - Question 4

The median of a given frequency distribution is found graphically with the help of  ____.

Detailed Solution: Question 4

Ogive or cumulative frequency curve is used to find the median.

Math Olympiad Test: Statistics- 3 - Question 5

The mean of 9 observations is 36. If the mean of the first 5 observations is 32 and that of the last 5 observations is 39, then the fifth observation is _____.

Detailed Solution: Question 5

36 x 9 = x1 + x2 + x3 + . . . + x9 ... (i)
5 x 32 = x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 ,..(ii)
5 x 39 = x5 + x6 + x7 + x8 + x9 ...(iii)

Adding (ii) and (iii),

we get 355 = x 1 + x2 + x 3 + x4 + x 5 + ... + x9 + X5

Using (i), we get 355 - 36 x 9 = x5 

x5 = 31

Math Olympiad Test: Statistics- 3 - Question 6

The average monthly income (in ₹) of certain agricultural workers is S and that of other workers is T. The number of agricultural workers are 11 times that of other workers. Then the average monthly income (in `)of all the workers is ____.

Detailed Solution: Question 6

Let the number of agricultural and other workers be n1 and n2.
∴ n= 11n2    ......(i)
Sum of monthly income of agricultural workers = Sn1 
Sum of monthly income of other workers = Tn2
Sum of monthly income of all workers = Sn1  + Tn2
∴ Average monthly income of all workers

Math Olympiad Test: Statistics- 3 - Question 7

The mean weight of a class of 34 students is 46.5 kg. If the weight of the teacher is included, the mean rises by 500g. Then the weight of the teacher is _____.

Detailed Solution: Question 7

It is given that,
Mean weight of 34 students = 46.5kg
So the total weight = 34 (46.5) = 1581kg
We know that,
Mean weight of 34 students and teacher = 46.5 + 0.5 = 47kg
So the total weight of 34 students and teacher = 47 (35) = 1645kg
The weight of teacher = Weight of 34 students and teacher – total weight
By substituting the values,
Weight of the teacher = 1645 – 1581 = 64kg
Therefore, the weight of the teacher is 64kg.

Math Olympiad Test: Statistics- 3 - Question 8

The average temperature of the town in the first four days of a month was 58 degree. The average for the second, third, fourth and fifth days was 60 degree. If the temperatures of the first and fifth days were in the ratio 7 : 8, then what is the temperature on the fifth day?

Detailed Solution: Question 8

 Let the temperatures on first, second, third, fourth and fifth day be x1, x2, x3, x4 and x5, respectively
Sum of temperatures of Ifirst four days = 58 * 4

i.e ., x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 = 232 ...(i)

and sum of temperatures on second, third, fourth and fifth day = 60 x 4

i.e., x2 + x3 + x4 + x5- = 240 ...(ii) Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get x5- x1 = 8 ...(iii)

Also, temperature of first and fifth day were in the ratio 7 : 8. Let the temperatures be 7 k and 8k respectively
From (iii), we have 8k - 7k = 8

⇒ k = 8

Temperature of fifth day = 8 x 8 = 64 degree.

Math Olympiad Test: Statistics- 3 - Question 9

The median of the following data is 525. Find the missing frequencies, if it is given that there are 100 observations in the data. 

Detailed Solution: Question 9

We have given n = 100

⇒ 76 + f1 + f2 = 100

⇒  f1 + f2 = 24                 ....(i)

Since median is 525, so median class is 500 - 600.

Median = 

⇒ 25 = (14 - f1) x 5 ⇒ 25 = 70 - 5f1 

⇒ 5f1, = 45

⇒ f1 = 9

From (i), 9 + f2 = 24

⇒ f2 = 24 - 9 = 15

Math Olympiad Test: Statistics- 3 - Question 10

In an examination of 675 candidates of maximum marks 100 the examiner supplied the following information.

Calculate median and mode respectively of the percentage marks obtained.

Detailed Solution: Question 10

Here, n = 675

⇒ n/2 = 337.5

So, Median class 40 - 50.

Median = 

= 40 + 7.58 = 47.58

Now, maximum frequency is 180.
So, modal class is 40 - 50.

Mode = 

= 48.22
