v. If \(\overline { x }\) is the mean of x₁, x₂, ……. , x_n and \(\overline { y }\) is the mean of y₁, y₂, ….. y_n and \(\overline { z }\) is the mean of x₁,x₂, …… , x_n , y₁, y₂, …. y_n , then z = ?

Answer:
x₁, x₂, x₃, ……. , x_n
∴ \(\overline{x}=\frac{\sum x}{\mathrm{n}}\)
∴ n\(\overline{x}\) = ∑x
Similarly, n\(\overline{y}\) = ∑y
Now,

\(\text { (A) } \frac{\overline{x}+\overline{y}}{2}\)

Answer:
5^th number = Sum of five numbers – Sum of four numbers
= (5 x 50) – (4 x 46)
= 250 – 184
= 66
(D) 66

(C) 35

Question 2.
The mean salary of 20 workers is ₹10,250. If the salary of office superintendent is added, the mean will increase by ₹ 750. Find the salary of the office superintendent.
Solution:
\( \text { Mean }=\frac{\text { The sum of all observations }}{\text { Total number of observations }}\)
∴ The sum of all observations = Mean x Total number of observations
The mean salary of 20 workers is ₹ 10,250.
∴ Sum of the salaries of 20 workers
= 20 x 10,250
= ₹ 2,05,000 …(i)
If the superintendent’s salary is added, then mean increases by 750
new mean = 10, 250 + 750 = 11,000
Total number of people after adding superintendent = 20 + 1 = 21
∴ Sum of the salaries including the superintendent’s salary = 21 x 11,000 = ₹ 2,31,000 …(ii)
∴ Superintendent salary = sum of the salaries including superintendent’s salary – sum of salaries of 20 workers
= 2, 31,00 – 2,05,000 …[From (i) and (ii)]
= 26,000
∴ The salary of the office superintendent is ₹ 26,000.

Question 3.
The mean of nine numbers is 77. If one more number is added to it, then the mean increases by 5. Find the number added in the data.
Solution:
∴ \( \text { Mean }=\frac{\text { The sum of all observations }}{\text { Total number of observations }}\)
∴ The sum of all observations = Mean x Total number of observations mean of nine numbers is 77
∴ sum of 9 numbers = 11 x 9 = 693 …(i)
If one more number is added, then mean increases by 5
mean of 10 numbers = 77 + 5 = 82
∴ sum of the 10 numbers = 82 x 10 = 820 …(ii)
∴ Number added = sum of the 10 numbers – sum of the 9 numbers = 820 – 693 … [From (i) and (ii)]
= 127
∴ The number added in the data is 127.

Question 4.
The monthly maximum temperature of a city is given in degree Celsius in the following data. By taking suitable classes, prepare the grouped frequency distribution table
29.2, 29.0, 28.1, 28.5, 32.9, 29.2, 34.2, 36.8, 32.0, 31.0, 30.5, 30.0, 33, 32.5, 35.5, 34.0, 32.9, 31.5, 30.3, 31.4, 30.3, 34.7, 35.0, 32.5, 33.5.29.0. 29.5.29.9.33.2.30.2
From the table, answer the following questions.
i. For how many days the maximum temperature was less than 34°C?
ii. For how many days the maximum temperature was 34°C or more than 34°C?
Solution:

i. Number of days for which the maximum temperature was less than 34°C
= 8 + 8 + 8 = 24
ii. Number of days for which the maximum temperature was 34°C or more than 34°C
= 5 + 1 = 6

Question 5.
If the mean of the following data is 20.2, then find the value of p.

Solution:

∴ 20.2 (30 + p) = 610 + 20p
∴ 606 + 20.2p = 610 + 20p
∴ 20.2p – 20p = 610 – 606
∴ 0.2p = 4
∴ p = \(\frac { 4 }{ 0.2 }\) = \(\frac { 40 }{ 2 }\) = 20
∴ p = 20

Question 6.
There are 68 students of 9th standard from Model Highschool, Nandpur. They have scored following marks out of 80, in written exam of mathematics.

i. How many students have scored marks 70 or more than 70?
ii. How many students have scored marks 30 or more than 30?
Solution:

i. 11 students have scored marks 70 or more than 70.
ii. 68 students have scored marks 30 or more than 30.

Question 8.
There are 10 observations arranged in ascending order as given below.
45, 47, 50, 52, JC, JC + 2, 60, 62, 63, 74. The median of these observations is 53.
Find the value of JC. Also find the mean and the mode of the data.
Solution:
i. Given data in ascending order:
45,47, 50, 52, x, JC+2, 60, 62, 63, 74.
∴ Number of observations (n) = 10 (i.e., even)
∴ Median is the average of middle two observations
Here, the 5th and 6th numbers are in the middle position.
∴
∴ 106 = 2x + 2
∴ 106 – 2 = 2x
∴ 104 = 2x
∴ x = 52
∴ The given data becomes:
45, 47, 50, 52, 52, 54, 60, 62, 63, 74.

∴ The mean of the given data is 55.9.

iii. Given data in ascending order:
45, 47, 50, 52, 52, 54, 60, 62, 63, 74.
∴ The observation repeated maximum number of times = 52
∴ The mode of the given data is 52.
