So, the information of trees gathered by visiting a forest for science project is a primary data.

#### Question 1:

For class interval 20-25 write the lower class limit and the upper class limit.

For class interval 20-25.

The lower class limit is 20 and the upper class limit is 25.

#### Question 2:

Find the class-mark of the class 35-40.

Since, $\frac{35+40}{2}=37.5$

So, the class-mark of the class 35-40 is 37.5

#### Question 3:

If class mark is 10 and class width is 6 then find the class.

We have, class mark = 10 and class width = 6.

Since, $\frac{6}{2}=3$

The lower class limit = $10-3=7$ and the upper class limit = $10+3=13$.

So, the class is 7-13.

We have, class size = $15-5=10$

Since, the lower limit of class-mark 5$=5-\frac{10}{2}=0$ and the upper limit $=5+\frac{10}{2}=10$.

So, the exclusive frequency table is given by:

 Class Frequency 0-10 3 10-20 9 20-30 15 30-40 13

Also, the inclusive frequency table is given by:

 Class Frequency 0-10 3 11-20 9 21-30 15 31-40 13

(ii)

 Class-mark Frequency 22 6 24 7 26 13 28 4

We have, class size = $24-22=2$

Since, the lower limit of class-mark 22$=22-\frac{2}{2}=21$ and the upper limit$=22+\frac{2}{2}=23$.

So, the exclusive frequency table is given by:

 Class Frequency 21-23 6 23-25 7 25-27 13 27-29 4

Also, the inclusive frequency table is given by:

 Class Frequency 20-22.5 6 23-25.5 7 25-27.5 13 27-29.5 4

Find the median of the weights of tomatoes is 75 grams.

#### Question 6:

A hockey player has scored following number of goals in 9 matches.

5, 4, 0, 2, 2, 4, 4, 3, 3

Find the mean, median and mode of the data.

Given:

The scores of the hockey player in 9 matches in ascending order:

0, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5

$\mathrm{Mean}=\frac{5+4+0+2+2+4+4+3+3}{9}=\frac{27}{9}=3$

​Mode = The observation with the maximum occurrence = 4

#### Question 7:

The calculated mean of 50 observations was 80. It was later discovered that observation 19 was recorded by mistake as 91. What was the correct mean?

It was later discovered that observation 19 was recorded by mistake as 91. What was the correct mean?

We have,

The calculated mean of 50 observations was 80.

$⇒$ The total incorrect sum of the observations = $80×50=4000$

$⇒$ The total correct sum of the observations $=4000-19+91=4072$

So, the correct mean $=\frac{4072}{50}=81.44$

#### Question 8:

Following 10 observations are arranged in ascending order as follows.

2, 3, 5, 9, x + 1, x + 3, 14, 16, 19, 20

If the median of the data is 11, find the value of x

Given:

The 10 observations are arranged in ascending order as follows:

2, 3, 5, 9, + 1, x + 3, 14, 16, 19, 20

Since, the median of the data is 11.

As, the number of observations = 10, which is an even number.

So, the value of x is 9.

#### Question 9:

The mean of 35 observations is 20, out of which mean of first 18 observations is 15 and mean of last 18 observation is 25. Find the 18th observation.

We have,

The mean of 35 observations is 20.
Let x be the sum of 35 observations

$⇒$ mean =
$⇒20=\frac{x}{35}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒x=700$

Let y be the sum of first 18 observations.
Mean of first 18 observations is 15.
$\frac{y}{18}=15\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒y=270$
And z be the sum of last 18 observations
Mean of last 18 observations is 25.
$\frac{z}{18}=25\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒z=450$
let the 18th term be a.
18th term is common in first 18 and last 18 observations
$x+a=y+z\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}700+a=270+450\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}a=720-700\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}a=20$
Hence, the 18th observation is 20.

#### Question 10:

The mean of 5 observations is 50. One of the observations was removed from the data, hence the mean became 45. Find the observation which was removed.

We have,

The mean of 5 observations is 50.

⇒ The total sum of 5 observations = 50 × 5 = 250

Also, the mean of 4 observations is 45.

⇒ The total sum of 4 observations = 45 × 4 = 180

So, the observation which was removed  = 250 − 180 = 70.

#### Question 11:

There are 40 students in a class, out of them 15 are boys. The mean of marks obtained by boys is 33 and that for girls is 35. Find out the mean of all students in the class.

We have,

Number of students in a class = 40, and

Number of boys in a class = 14,

Mean of marks obtained by boys = 33, and

Mean of marks obtained by girls = 35

Number of girls in the class = $40-15=25$

Sum of marks obtained by boys = $33×15=495$, and

Sum of marks obtained by girls = $35×25=875$

So, the mean of all students in the class = $\frac{495+875}{40}=\frac{1370}{40}=34.25$.

#### Question 12:

The weights of 10 students (in kg) are given below :

40, 35, 42, 43, 37, 35, 37, 37, 42, 37.

Hence, the correct alternative answer is (A).

(vi) Since, the mean of five numbers is 80, out of which mean of 4 numbers is 46

So, the 5th number .

Disclaimer: The options provided are all incorrect.

(vii) We have,

Mean of 100 observations is 40.

Total sum of observations = $100×40=4000$

If the 9th observation is 30 and is replaced by 70 keeping all other observations same.

New, total sum of observations = $4000-30+70=4040$

So, the new mean = $\frac{4040}{100}=40.4$

Hence, the correct alternative answer is (B).
(viii) Since, the observation 15 is occuring the most in the data: 19, 19, 15, 20, 25, 15, 20, 15

So, the mode of the given data is 15.
