1. The following number of goals were scored by a team in a series of 10 matches:

2, 3, 4, 5, 0, 1, 3, 3, 4, 3

Find the mean, median and mode of these scores.

Solution:

Mean = Average = Sum of all the observations/Total number of observations

= (2+3+4+5+0+1+3+3+4+3)/10

= 28/10

= 2.8

Median

To find the median, we first arrange the data in ascending order.

0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5

Here,

Number of observations (n) = 10

Since the number of observations is even, the median can be calculated as

= 3

Mode

To find the mode, we first arrange the data in ascending order.

0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5

Here,

We find that 3 occurs most frequently (4 times)

∴ Mode = 3

2. In a Mathematics test given to 15 students, the following marks (out of 100) are recorded.

41, 39, 48, 52, 46, 62, 54, 40, 96, 52, 98, 40, 42, 52, 60
Find the mean, median and mode of this data.

Solution:

Mean=Average = Sum of all the observations/Total number of observations

= (41+39+48+52+46+62+54+40+96+52+98+40+42+52+60)/15

= 822/15

= 54.8

Median

To find the median, we first arrange the data in ascending order.

39, 40, 40, 41, 42, 46, 48, 52, 52, 52, 54, 60, 62, 96, 98

Here,

Number of observations (n) = 15

Since the number of observations is odd, the median can be calculated as

Median = [(n+1)/2]^th observation

= [(15+1)/2]^th observation

= (16/2)^th observation

= 8^th observation

= 52

Mode

To find the mode, we first arrange the data in ascending order.

39, 40, 40, 41, 42, 46, 48, 52, 52, 52, 54, 60, 62, 96, 98

Here,

We find that 52 occurs most frequently (3 times)

∴ Mode = 52

3. The following observations have been arranged in ascending order. If the median of the data is 63, find the value of x.

29, 32, 48, 50, x, x+2, 72, 78, 84, 95

Solution:

Number of observations (n) = 10

Given that Median = 63

Since the number of observations is even, the median can be calculated as

63 = [5^th observation+(5+1)^th observation]/2

63 = [5^th observation+6^th observation]/2

63 = (x+x+2)/2

63 = (2x+2)/2

x = 63-1

x = 62

4. Find the mode of 14, 25, 14, 28, 18, 17, 18, 14, 23, 22, 14, 18.

Solution:

Mode

To find the mode, we first arrange the given data in ascending order.

14,14,14,14,17,18,18,18,22,23,25,28

Here,

We find that 14 occurs most frequently (4 times)

∴ Mode = 14

5. Find the mean salary of 60 workers in a factory from the following table.

Solution:

The mean salary is ₹5083.33

6. Give one example of a situation in which

(i) the mean is an appropriate measure of central tendency.

(ii) the mean is not an appropriate measure of central tendency, but the median is an appropriate measure of central tendency.

Solution:

(i) Mean marks obtained in the examination

(ii) Runs scored by Mahendra Singh Dhoni in 7 matches are

39, 51, 56, 102, 83, 48, 91

Here,

Mean = (39+51+56+102+83+48+91)/7

= 470/7

= 67.1.

Median

Arranging in ascending order, we get 39, 48 51, 56, 83, 91, 102

n = 7

Median = [(n+1)/2]^th observation

= ( (7+1)/2)^th observation

= (8/2)^th observation

= 4^th observation

= 56

The exercise contains a total of 6 questions based on the concepts of mean, median and mode. The answers to these questions are provided in the NCERT Solutions Class 9 Maths Chapter 14 – Statistics Exercise 14.4. The students can refer to these solutions in case of any doubts.
