1. Find the mean of first 12 even numbers.

Solution:-

We know that, the first 12 even numbers are,

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24

Then, x̅ = (x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + … + x_n)/n

Where n is the total numbers,

n = 12

x̅ = (2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 14 + 16 + 18 + 20 + 22 + 24)/12

x̅ = 156/12

x̅ = 13

Hence, mean of first 12 even numbers is 13.

2. Find the mean of first 10 prime numbers.

Solution:-

We know that, the first 10 prime numbers are,

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29

Then, x̅ = (x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + … + x_n)/n

Where n is the total numbers,

n = 10

x̅ = (2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29)/10

x̅ = 129/10

x̅ = 12.9

Hence, mean of first 10 prime numbers is 12.9.

Solution:-

All odd numbers from 5 to 20 are,

5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19

Then, x̅ = (x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + … + x_n)/n

Where n is the total numbers,

n = 8

x̅ = (5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19)/11

x̅ = 96/8

x̅ = 12

Hence, mean of all odd numbers from 5 to 20 is 12.

Then, all odd numbers from 5 to 20 multiplied by 4 are,

20, 28, 36, 44, 52, 60, 68, 76

n = 8

x̅ = (20 + 28 + 36 + 44 + 52 + 60 + 68 + 76)/8

x̅ = 384/8

x̅ = 48

Hence, mean all odd numbers from 5 to 20 multiplied by 4 is 48.

5. Find the mean of all natural numbers from 32 to 46. Find the new mean when each number is diminished by 5.

Solution:-

All natural numbers from 32 to 46 are,

32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46.

Then, x̅ = (x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + … + x_n)/n

Where n is the total numbers,

x̅ = (32 + 33 +34 + 35 + 36 + 37 + 38 + 39 + 40 + 41 + 42 + 43 + 44 + 45 + 46)/15

x̅ = 585/15

x̅ = 39

Hence, mean of all natural numbers from 32 to 46 is 39.

Then, all natural numbers from 32 to 46 diminished by 5 are,

27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41

n = 15

x̅ = 510/15

x̅ = 34

Hence, mean all natural numbers from 32 to 46 diminished by 5 is 34.

6. If the mean of 8, 14, 20, x and 12 is 13, find x.

Solution:-

Form the question it is given that, 8, 14, 20, x, 12

Mean = 13

We have to find the value of x,

Then, x̅ = (x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + … + x_n)/n

Where n is the total numbers,

n = 5

13 = (8 + 14 + 20 + x + 12)/5

13 × 5 = (54 + x)

65 = 54 + x

x = 65 – 54

x = 11

Therefore, the value of x is 11.

7. If the mean of 11, 14, p, 26, 10, 12, 18 and 6 is 15, find p.

Solution:-

Form the question it is given that, 11, 14, p, 26, 10, 12, 18 and 6.

Mean = 15

We have to find the value of p,

Then, x̅ = (x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + … + x_n)/n

Where n is the total numbers,

n = 8

15 = (11 + 14 + p + 26 + 10 + 12 + 18 + 6)/8

15 × 8 = (97 + p)

120 = 97 + p

p = 120 – 97

p = 23

Therefore, the value of p is 23.

8. The mean monthly income of 10 persons is Rs 8,670. If a new member with a monthly income of Rs 9,000 jons the group, find the new monthly income.

Solution:-

From the question it is given that,

The mean monthly income of 10 persons is ₹ 8,670.

Number of persons, n = 10

We know that,

x̅ = (x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + … + x_n)/n

₹ 8,670 = ∑x_n/10

∑x_n = 8,670 × 10

∑x_n = ₹ 86,700

Also it is given that, a new member with a monthly income of ₹ 9,000.

So, ∑x_n = ₹ (86,700 + 9,000)

∑x_n = ₹ 95,700

Then, n = 11

x̅ = (x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + … + x_n)/n

x̅ = ₹ 95,700/11

x̅ = ₹ 8,700

Therefore, the new mean monthly income is ₹ 8,700.

9. The height of 9 persons are 142 cm, 158 cm, 152 cm, 143 cm, 139 cm, 144 cm, 148 cm and 151 cm. Find the mean height.

Solution:-

From the question it is given that,

The height of 9 persons are, 142 cm, 158 cm, 152 cm, 143 cm, 139 cm, 144 cm, 148 cm and 151 cm.

We know that,

x̅ = (x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + … + x_n)/n

Where n is the total numbers,

n = 9

x̅ = (142 + 158 + 152 + 143 + 139 + 144 + 146 + 148 + 151)/9

x̅ = 1323/9

x̅ = 147 cm

Therefore, the mean height is 147 cm.

10. Find the mean of the following frequency distribution:

(i)

Solution:-

So, now we have to prepare the frequency distribution table

we know that,

x̅ = ∑f_ix_i/∑f_i

x̅ = 605/25

x̅ = 24.2

Therefore, the mean is 24.2.

(ii)

Solution:-

So, now we have to prepare the frequency distribution table,

we know that,

x̅ = ∑f_ix_i/∑f_i

x̅ = 1910/50

x̅ = 38.2

Therefore, the mean is 38.2.

(iii)

Solution:-

So, now we have to prepare the frequency distribution table,

we know that,

x̅ = ∑f_ix_i/∑f_i

x̅ = 630/40

x̅ = 15.75

Therefore, the mean is 15.75.

(iv)

Solution:-

So, now we have to prepare the frequency distribution table,

we know that,

x̅ = ∑f_ix_i/∑f_i

x̅ = 1980/40

x̅ = 49.5

Therefore, the mean is 49.5.

(v)

Solution:-

So, now we have to prepare the frequency distribution table,

we know that,

x̅ = ∑f_ix_i/∑f_i

x̅ = 3900/50

x̅ = 78

Therefore, the mean is 78.

(vi)

Solution:-

So, now we have to prepare the frequency distribution table,

we know that,

x̅ = ∑f_ix_i/∑f_i

x̅ = 1610/60

x̅ = 26.83

Therefore, the mean is 26.83.

(vi)

Solution:-

So, now we have to prepare the frequency distribution table,

we know that,

x̅ = ∑f_ix_i/∑f_i

x̅ = 13020/100

x̅ = 130.2

Therefore, the mean is 130.2.

11. The mean of the following frequency distribution is 25.8 and the sum of all the frequencies is 50. Find x and y.

Solution:-

So, now we have to prepare the frequency distribution table,

We know that,

∑f_i = x₁ + x₂ + … + x_n

50 = 7 + x + 15 + y + 10

x + y + 32 = 50

x + y = 18 … (i)

Also we know that, x̅ = ∑f_ix_i/∑f_i

So,

25.8 = (860 + 15x + 35y)/50

By cross multiplication we get,

15x + 35y + 860 = 1290

15x + 35y = 1290 – 860

15x + 35y = 430 … [divide both side by 5]

3x + 7y = 86 … (ii)

Now multiplying equation (i) by 3 we get,

3x + 3y = 54 … (iii)

Subtract equation (ii) from equation (iii) we get,

4y = 32

y = 32/4

y = 8

Substitute value of y in equation (i) to get the value of x,

x + y = 18

x + 8 = 18

x = 18 – 8

x = 10

Hence the value of x = 10 and y = 8.

11. Find the mean of the following frequency distribution by the short cut method.

Solution:-

So, now we have to prepare the frequency distribution table,

we know that,

x̅ = A + ∑f_id/∑f_i

x̅ = 25 + 80/60

x̅ = 25 + 1.33

x̅ = 26.33

Therefore, the value of mean is 26.33.

13. Find the mean of the following frequency distribution by the short cut method:

Solution:-

So, now we have to prepare the frequency distribution table,

we know that,

x̅ = A + ∑f_id/∑f_i

x̅ = 35.5 + 0/80

x̅ = 35.5 + 0

x̅ = 35.5

Therefore, the value of mean is 35.5.

14. Find the mean of the following frequency distribution by the step deviation method:

Solution:-

So, from the table A = 125 and h_i = 10

we know that,

x̅ = A + h × ∑f_iu/∑f_i

x̅ = 125 + 10 × (-3/100)

x̅ = 125 – 0.3

x̅ = 124.70

Therefore, the mean is 124.70.

15. Find the mean of the following frequency distribution by the step deviation method:

Solution:-

So, from the table A = 70 and h_i = 20

we know that,

x̅ = A + h × ∑f_iu/∑f_i

x̅ = 70 + 20 × (62/300)

x̅ = 70 + 4.13

x̅ = 74.13

Therefore, the mean is 74.13.
