PRACTICE QUESTIONS (STATISTICS)

CLASS: X : MATHEMATICS

1. If the mean of 5 observations x,x+2,x+4, x+6, and x+8 is 11 then find the value of x
2. Write the relationship between mean, median and mode for a moderately skewed
distribution.
3. If the median of the data 6,7,x-2,x,17,20 written in ascending order is 16 . Find the value
of x.
4. The mean and mode of a frequency distribution are 28 and 16 respectively. Find the
median.
5. If for a data, Mean: Median= 9:8, then find the ratio Median: Mode.
6. If the sum of 15 observations of a data is (434 + x) and the mean of the observation is x
then find x.

8. If the mean of a frequency distribution is 8.1 and fi = 20, fixi = 132 + 5k, then find k .
9. In a frequency distribution, the mid value of a class is 10 and the width of the class is 6.
Find the lower limit of the class.
10. Consider the data:
Class 65 – 85 – 105 – 125 – 145 – 165 – 185 –

class.
