Solution

1. d. 12
Explanation: The first 10 prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29.
Here n = 10, which is even number.

Median =

= [5th term + 6th term] =

=
= 12

2. b. 23
Explanation: Let terms be
According to the question,
…….(i)
And
……….(ii)
Also,
….(iii)
Adding eq. (ii) and (iii), we get,

3. b. lower limits
Explanation: The lower limit for every class is the smallest value in that class
on the other hand the upper limit for every class is the greatest value in that
class.
To represent ‘the more than type’ graphically, we plot the lower limits on the x-
axis and cumulative frequency on the y-axis to find the median.

4. d. 62
 Explanation: = = 62

5. b. Mode= 3 median - 2 mean

Explanation: The empirical relationship between the three measures of central
tendencies is
3 Median = Mode + 2 Mean
The relationship is as per observation.
a distribution in which the values of mean, median and mode coincide (i.e.
mean = median = mode) is called symmetrical distribution. conversely when the
values of mean, median, mode are not equal, the distribution is called
asymmetrical or skewed.
knowing any two values, the third can be computed by this formula
3 median = 2 mean + mode
2 mean = 3 median - mode
mean = 1/2 {3 median - mode}

Median class = 1700 - 1850

7. Given, data
25,16,19, 48,19, 20,34,15, 19, 20, 21, 24,19, 16, 22, 16 ,18, 20,16,19

Value (xi) 15 16 18 19 20 21 22 21 25 34 48

Frequency (fi) 1 4 1 5 3 1 1 1 1 1 1

We observe that the value 19 has the maximum frequency i.e. 5.

Therefore, mode of the given data is 19.

8. n = 120

Median is average of 60th and 61st observation

 Median = =5
So, Median is 5.

9. We know , Mode = 3(Median) - 2(Mean)

Given, Median = 41.25 and Mean = 33.75
Therefore , Mode =

So, mode is 56.25.

10. Let us first form the frequency table for the given data as given below:

Value xi 110 120 130 140

Frequency fi 2 4 2 2

We observe that the value 120 has the maximum frequency.

Hence, the mode or modal values is 120.

Using the step-deviation method,

Mode = 30 + 5
or, Mode = 30 +
or, Mode = 30 + 0.454 × 5

 Given,
sum of frequency = 50
5 + f1 + 10 + f2 + 7 + 8 = 50

f1 + f2 = 20

3f1 + 3f2 = 60 ... (1) [multiply both side by 3]

And mean = 62.8

30f1 + 70f2 = 3140 - 2060

30f1 + 70f2 = 1080

3f1 + 7f2 = 108 ...(2) [divide it by 10]

subtract equation (1) from equation (2)

3f1 + 7f2 - 3f1 - 3f2 =108 - 60

4f2 = 48

f2 =12

Put value of f2 in equation (1)

3f1 + 3(12) = 60
