NCERT Solutions Class 7 Maths Chapter Ȓ Exercise Ȓ.

Q1. The scores in mathematics test (out of 25) of 15 students are follows:
19, 25, 23, 20, 9, 20, 15, 10, 5, 16, 25, 20, 24, 12, 20.
Find the mode and median of the data. Are they same?

Difficulty Level: Easy

What is the given /known:


Scores in mathematics test of 15 students

What is unknown:
The mode and median of the data

Reasoning:
Mode – Mode of a given data is that value of observation which occurs for the most
number of times.
Median = middle of observation (in this case, 8th observation)

Solution: -
Scores of 15 students in mathematics test are:
19, 25, 23, 20, 9, 20, 15, 10, 5 16, 25, 20, 24, 12, 20.
Arranging scores in ascending order, we get
5, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 19, 20, 20, 20, 20 , 23, 24, 25, 25

Mode – Mode of a given data is that value of observation which occurs for the most
number of times.
Therefore, 20 occurs most of the time.
∴ Mode = 20.

Median = middle of observation (in this case, 8th observation)


∴ Median = 20

Yes, mode and median of the given observations are same.

Q2. The runs scored in a cricket match by 11 Players are as follows:


6, 15, 120, 50, 100,80, 10,15, 8, 10, 15
Find the mean, median and mode of the data. Are they same?
Difficulty Level:
Easy

What is the given /known:


Runs scored in a cricket match by 11 Players
What is unknown:
The mean, median and mode of the data

Reasoning: Sum of all scores


Mean =
Total no. of players
Mode = Mode is the observation that occurs highest number of times

Median= Median is the middle observation

Solution: -
Total number of players = 11
Scores of players = 6, 15, 120, 50, 100,80, 10,15, 8, 10, 15
Sum of all scores
Mean =
Total no. of players
6 + 8 + 10 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 50 + 80 + 100 + 120
=
11
429
=
11
= 39
Thus, mean = 39.

Arranging the scores into ascending order, we get


6, 8, 10,10, 15, 15, 15, 50, 80, 100, 120

Mode is the observation that occurs highest number of times .


Here, 15 occurs 3 times.
∴ Mode =15.

Median is the middle observation


∴ Median = 15 (6th observation)

Thus, Mean = 39 , Mode= 15 and median =15.

No, the mean, mode and median are not same.

Q3. The weights (in kg) of 15 students of a class are:


38, 42, 35, 37, 45, 50, 32, 43,43, 40, 36, 38, 43, 38,47
(i) Find the median and mode of this data.
(ii) Is there more than one mode?

Difficulty Level: Easy

What is the given /known:


The weights (in kg) of 15 students of a class
What is unknown:
The median and mode of this data.

Reasoning:
Mode = Mode is the observation that occurs highest number of times
Median= Median is the middle observation

Solution: -
Total number of students =15
Weights of 15 students = 38, 42, 35, 37, 45, 50, 32, 43,43, 40, 36, 38, 43, 38, 47.
Arranging in ascending order,we get 32, 35, 36,37,38, 38,38,40, 42, 43, 43,43, 45, 47, 50

(i). Mode is the observation that occurred highest number of times.


Thus, 38 and 43 occur highest number of times.
∴ Mode = 38 and 43.
Also, median = 40 (8th observation)

(ii). Yes, there are two modes.

Q4. Find the mode and median of the data: 13, 16, 12, 14, 19, 12, 14, 13, 14.

Difficulty Level: Easy

What is the given /known:


Given numbers

What is unknown:
The mode and median of the data

Reasoning:
Mode = Mode is the observation that occurs highest number of times
Median= Median is the middle observation

Solution: -
Given data = 13, 16, 12, 14, 19, 12, 14, 13, 14
Arranging the data in ascending order, we get 12, 12, 13, 13, 14, 14, 14, 16, 19.

∴ Mode is the observation that occurs highest number of times.


∴ Mode = 14

Also, median is the middle observation.


∴ Median = 14 (5th observation)
Q5. Tell whether the statement is true or false:
(i) The mode is always one of the numbers in a data.
(ii) The mean is one of the numbers in a data.
(iii) The median is one of the numbers in a data.
(iv) The data 6, 4, 3, 8, 9, 12, 13, 9, has mean 9.
Difficulty Level: Easy
Solution:

(i) True: Mode is the observations that occurs highest numbers of times. Therefore, it
is one observation in a data.
(ii) False: Mean may or may not be one of the numbers in a data.
(iii) True: Median is the middle observations of the given data when it is arranged in
ascending or descending order.
(iv) False: The given data 6, 4, 3, 8, 9, 12, 13, 9.
6 + 4 + 3 + 8 + 9 + 12 + 13 + 9
Mean =
8
64
=
8
=8
Therefore, mean is 8.
