ML Aggarwal Solution Class 10 Chapter 21 Measures of Central Tendency Exercise 21.3

 Exercise 21.3

Question 1

Find the mode of the following sets of numbers ;

(i) 3, 2, 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 3

(ii) 5, 7, 6, 8, 9, 0, 6, 8, 1, 8

(iii) 9, 0, 2, 8, 5, 3, 5, 4, 1, 5, 2, 7

Sol :

(i) ∵ The number 3 occurs maximum times

Mode = 3

(ii) ∵ The number 8 occurs maximum times

Mode = 8

(iii) ∵ The number 5, occurs maximum times

Mode = 5


Question 2

Calculate the mean, the median and the mode of the numbers : 3, 2, 6, 3, 3, 1, 1, 2

Sol :

Arranging in ascending order 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 6

(i) Mean $=\frac{\sum x_{i}}{n}$

$=\frac{1+1+2+2+3+3+3+6}{8}$

$=\frac{21}{8}$

= 2.625


(ii) Here n = 8 which is even

$\therefore$ Median $=\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{n}{2} \mathrm{th}+\left(\frac{n}{2}+1\right) \mathrm{th}\right]$

$=\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{8}{2}+\left(\frac{8}{2}+1\right)\right]$

$=\frac{1}{2}$(4th term+5th term)

$=\frac{1}{2}[2+3]=\frac{5}{2}=2 \cdot 5$


(iii) Here 3 occurs maximum times

∴Mode=3


Question 3

Find the mean, median and mode of the following distribution : 8, 10, 7, 6, 10, 11, 6, 13, 10

Sol :
$\operatorname{Mean}=\frac{8+10+7+6+10+11+6+13+10}{2}$

$=\frac{81}{9}=9$

Given nos. in ascending order are as follows:

6, 6, 7, 8, 10, 10, 10, 11, 13

Median $=\frac{n+1}{2}$ th term

$=\frac{9+1}{2}=5$ th term=10

Mode = 10 (having highest frequency 3 times)


Question 4

Calculate the mean, the median and the mode of the following numbers : 3, 1, 5, 6, 3, 4, 5, 3, 7, 2

Sol :

Arranging in ascending order 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7

(i) Mean $=\frac{\sum x_{i}}{n}$

$=\frac{1+2+3+3+3+4+5+5+6+7}{8}$

$=\frac{39}{10}$

=3.9


(ii)

(Here n=10 which is even)

$\therefore$ Median $=\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{10}{2}\right.$ th term $+\left(\frac{10}{2}+1\right)$ th term $]$

$=\frac{1}{2}$ (5th +6 th terms)

$=\frac{1}{2}(3+4)=\frac{7}{2}$

=3.5


(iii) Here 3 occurs maximum times

∴Mode=3


Question 5

The marks of 10 students of a class in an examination arranged in ascending order are as follows: 13, 35, 43, 46, x, x +4, 55, 61,71, 80

If the median marks is 48, find the value of x. Hence, find the mode of the given data. (2017)

Sol :

Given marks are 13, 35, 43, 46, x, x + 4, 55, 61, 71, 80

n = 10 (even), median = 48

Median $=\left(\frac{n}{2}\right)^{\text {th }}$ observation $+\left(\frac{n}{2}+1\right)^{\operatorname{th}}$ observation
$=\frac{\text { 5th observation }+6 \text { th observation }}{2}$
$=\frac{x+x+4}{2}$
$\therefore 48=\frac{2 x+4}{2}$

$\Rightarrow 48=\frac{2(x+2)}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x=48-2=46$

Now , put the value of x in 6th observation i.e. x+4

∴x+4=46+4=50

∴The numbers are : 13,35,43,46,50,55,61,71,8

Since 46 has highest frequency

∴Mode=46


Question 6

A boy scored the following marks in various class tests during a term each test being marked out of 20: 15, 17, 16, 7, 10, 12, 14, 16, 19, 12, 16

(i) What are his modal marks ?

(ii) What are his median marks ?

(iii) What are his mean marks ?

Sol :

Arranging in ascending order 7, 10, 12, 12, 14, 15, 16, 16, 16, 17, 19

(ii) Here n = 11 which is odd

∴Median $=\frac{n+1}{2}$ th 

$=\frac{11+1}{2}$=6th term
∴Median=15

(i) Modal class is 16 as it occurs is maximum times

(ii) Mean $=\frac{\sum x_{i}}{n}$
$=\frac{7+10+12+12+14+15+16+16+16+17+19}{11}$
$=\frac{154}{11}$
=14

Question 7

Find the mean, median and mode of the following marks obtained by 16 students in a class test marked out of 10 marks : 0, 0, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 8
Sol :
Here, n = 16

(i) ∴Mean$=\frac{\sum x_{i}}{n}$
$=\frac{0+0+2+2+3+3+3+4+5+5+5+5+6+6+7+8}{16}$
$=\frac{64}{16}=4$

(ii) Median 
$=\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{16}{2} t h+\left(\frac{16}{2}+1\right) t h\right.$ term $]$
$\therefore$ Median $=\frac{1}{2}$ (8th +9 th term)
$=\frac{1}{2}(4+5)=\frac{9}{2}$
=4.5

(iii) ∵Here 5 occurs in maximum times 
∴Mode=5

Question 8

Find the mode and median of the following frequency distribution :
x 10 11 12 13 14 15
f 1 4 7 5 9 3
Sol :
x f Cumulative frequency
10 1 1
11 4 5
12 7 12
13 5 17
14 9 26
15 3 29
Here n=29 (odd)

Median $=$ Value of $\left(\frac{29+1}{2}\right)$ th observation
=value of 15th observation
=13

Since , the frequency corresponding to 14 is maximum, so 14 is the mode

Question 9

The marks obtained by 30 students in a class assessment of 5 marks is given below:
Marks 0 1 2 3 4 5
No. of students 1 3 6 10 5 5
Calculate the mean, median and mode of the above distribution.
Sol :
Marks 0 1 2 3 4 5
No. of students 1 3 6 10 5 5
Comulative frequency 1 4 10 20 25 30
Mean $=\frac{\Sigma f x}{\Sigma f}$
$=\frac{0 \times 1+1 \times 3+2 \times 6+3 \times 10+4 \times 5+5 \times 5}{1+3+6+10+5+5}$
$=\frac{90}{30}$
=3 

There are a total of 30 observations in the data
The median is the arithmetic mean of $\left(\frac{n}{2}\right)^{\text {th }}$ and $\left(\frac{n}{2}+1\right)^{\text {th }}$ observation in case of even number of observations=Arithmetic mean of $\left(\frac{30}{2}\right)^{\text {th }}$ and $\left(\frac{30}{2}+1\right)^{\text {th }}$

=Arithmetic mean of 15th and 16th observation will be the median

Mean$=\frac{3+3}{2}=3$

Frequency is the highest for the observation $x_{i}=3$
Mode =3

Question 10

The distribution given below shows the marks obtained by 25 students in an aptitude test. Find the mean, median and mode of the distribution.

$\operatorname{Mean} \bar{x}=\frac{\sum f_{i} x_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}=\frac{171}{25}$
$\bar{x}=6.84$
Marks obtained

5 3 3
6 9 12
7 6 18
8 4 22
9 2 24
10 1 25
Total Total=25

Number of terms=25 (odd)

Median $=\left(\frac{25+1}{2}\right)$ th term
$=\left(\frac{26}{2}\right)$ th term
=13th term

∴Median=7
Mode=Marks with maximum frequency is 6
∴Mode=6

Question 11

At a shooting competition, the scores of a competitor were as given below :
Marks obtained 0 1 2 3 4 5
No. of shots 0 3 6 4 7 5
(i) What was his modal score ?
(ii) What was his median score ?
(iii) What was his total score ?
(iv) What was his mean ?
Solution:
Writing the given distribution in cumulative frequency distribution:
Score
(x)		 No. of shots
(f)		 c.f f.x
0 0 0 0
1 3 3 3
2 6 9 12
3 4 13 12
4 7 20 28
5 5 25 25
Total 25 80

(i) Model score is 4 as it occurs in maximum times i.e. 7
∴Mode=4

(ii) Here n=25 which is an odd number

$\therefore$ Median $=\frac{25+1}{2}=13$ th term
Hence median=3

(iii) Total scores=80

(iv) Mean $=\frac{\sum f x}{\sum f}=\frac{80}{25}=3 \cdot 2$
