Exercise 21B page: 239

1. Find the mean of 53, 61, 60, 67 and 64.

Solution:

The given numbers are 53, 61, 60, 67 and 64

We know that n = 5

So Mean = (53 + 61 + 60 + 67 + 64)/ 5

By further calculation

= 305/5

= 61

2. Find the mean of first six natural numbers.

Solution:

Here the first six natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

We know that n = 6

So Mean = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6)/ 6

By further calculation

= 21/6

= 3.5

3. Find the mean of first ten odd natural numbers.

Solution:

Here the first ten odd natural numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19

We know that n = 10

So Mean = (1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19)/ 10

By further calculation

= 100/10

= 10

4. Find the mean of all factors of 10.

Solution:

Here the factors of 10 are 2 and 5

We know that n = 2

So Mean = (2 + 5)/ 2

By further calculation

= 7/2

= 3.5

5. Find the mean of x + 3, x + 5, x + 7, x + 9 and x + 11.

Solution:

The given terms are x + 3, x + 5, x + 7, x + 9 and x + 11

We know that n = 5

So Mean = [(x + 3) + (x + 5) + (x + 7) + (x + 9) + (x + 11)]/ 5

By further calculation

= (5x + 35)/ 5

Taking 5 as common

= [5 (x + 7)]/ 5

= x + 7

6. If different values of variable x are 19.8, 15.4, 13.7, 11.71, 11.8, 12.6, 12.8, 18.6, 20.5 and 21.1, find the mean.

Solution:

The given values are 19.8, 15.4, 13.7, 11.71, 11.8, 12.6, 12.8, 18.6, 20.5 and 21.1

We know that n = 10

So Mean = (19.8 + 15.4 + 13.7 + 11.71 + 11.8 + 12.6 + 12.8 + 18.6 + 20.5 + 21.1)/ 10

By further calculation

= 158.01/10

= 15.801

7. The mean of a certain number of observations is 32. Find the resulting mean, if each observation is,

(i) increased by 3

(ii) decreased by 7

(iii) multiplied by 2

(iv) divided by 0.5

(v) increased by 60%

(vi) decreased by 20%

Solution:

(i) Increased by 3
Here the observed mean = 32

When increased by 3

The resulting mean = 32 + 3 = 35

(ii) Decreased by 7
Here the observed mean = 32

When decreased by 7

The resulting mean = 32 – 7 = 25

(iii) Multiplied by 2
Here the observed mean = 32

When multiplied by 2

The resulting mean = 32 × 2 = 64

(iv) Divided by 0.5
Here the observed mean = 32

When divided by 0.5

The resulting mean = 32/0.5 = 64

(v) Increased by 60%
Here the observed mean = 32

When increased by 60%

The resulting mean = 32 + 60/100

Taking LCM

= (3200 + 60)/ 100

= 3260/100

= 32.6

(vi) Decreased by 20%

Here the observed mean = 32

When decreased by 20%

The resulting mean = 32 – 20/100

Taking LCM

= (3200 – 20)/ 100

= 3180/100

= 31.8

8. The pocket expenses (per day) of Anuj, during a certain week, from monday to saturday were ₹85.40, ₹88.00, ₹86.50, ₹84.75, ₹82.60 and ₹87.25. Find the mean pocket expenses per day.

Solution:

It is given that the pocket expenses (per day) during a certain week are

₹85.40, ₹88.00, ₹86.50, ₹84.75, ₹82.60 and ₹87.25

We know that n = 6

So the mean pocket expenses per day = (85.40 + 88.00 + 86.50 + 84.75 + 82.60 + 87.25)/ 6

By further calculation

= 514.5/6

= ₹85.75

Hence, the mean pocket expenses per day are ₹85.75.

9. If the mean of 8, 10, 7, x + 2 and 6 is 9, find the value of x.

Solution:

It is given that

Mean of 8, 10, 7, x + 2 and 6 is 9

We can write it as

(8 + 10 + 7 + x + 2 + 6)/ 6 = 9

By further calculation

(x + 33)/ 6 = 9

So we get

x + 33 = 9 × 6

x = 54 – 33 = 21

10. Find the mean of first six multiples of 3.

Solution:

We know that the first six multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18

Here n = 6

So mean = (3 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 15 + 18)/ 6

By further calculation

= 63/ 6

= 10.5

11. Find the mean of first five prime numbers.

Solution:

Here the first five prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11

We know that n = 5

So Mean = (2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11)/ 5

By further calculation

= 28/5

= 5 3/5

= 5.6

12. The mean of six numbers: x-5, x- 1, x, x + 2, x + 4 and x + 12 is 15. Find the mean of first four numbers.

Solution:

It is given that the mean of six numbers x-5, x- 1, x, x + 2, x + 4 and x + 12 is 15

So Mean = [(x – 5) + (x – 1) + x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 12)]/ 6

By further calculation

15 = (x – 5 + x – 1 + x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 12)/ 6

So we get

15 = (12 + 6x)/ 6

By cross multiplication

12 + 6x = 90

6x = 90 – 12 = 78

x = 78/6 = 13

So the six numbers are (13 – 5), (13 – 1), 13, (13 + 2), (13 + 4), (13 + 12) = 8, 12, 13, 15, 17, 25

Here the mean of first four numbers = (8 + 12 + 13 + 15)/ 4 = 48/4 = 12

13. Find the mean of squares of first five whole numbers.

Solution:

Here the first five whole numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

So the square of whole numbers = 0², 1², 2², 3², 4² = 0, 1, 4, 9, 16

We know that n = 5

So Mean = (0 + 1 + 4 + 9 + 16)/ 5

By further calculation

= 30/5

= 6

14. If the mean of 6, 4, 7, p and 10 is 8, find the value of p.

Solution:

It is given that the mean of 6, 4, 7, p and 10 is 8

So Mean = (6 + 4 + 7 + p + 10)/ 5

By further calculation

(27 + p)/ 5 = 8

So we get

27 + p = 40

p = 40 – 27 = 13

15. Find the mean of first six multiples of 5.

Solution:

Here the first six multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30

We know that n = 6

So Mean = (5 + 10 + 15 + 20 + 25 + 30)/ 6

By further calculation

= 105/6

= 17.5
