Access answers to Maths RD Sharma Solutions for Class 7 Chapter 23 – Data Handling – II (Central values) Exercise 23.4

1. Find the mode and median of the data: 13, 16, 12, 14, 19, 12, 14, 13, 14

By using the empirical relation also find the mean.

Solution:

Arranging the data in ascending order such that same numbers are put together, we get:

12, 12, 13, 13, 14, 14, 14, 16, 19

Here, n = 9.

Therefore median = ((n+1)/2)th term

Median = value of 5th term

Median = 14

Here, 14 occurs the maximum number of times, i.e., three times. Therefore, 14 is the mode of the data.

Now,

Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean

14 = 3 x 14 – 2 Mean

2 Mean = 42 – 14 = 28

Mean = 28 ÷ 2

= 14.

2. Find the median and mode of the data: 35, 32, 35, 42, 38, 32, 34

Solution:

Arranging the data in ascending order such that same numbers are put together, we get:

32, 32, 34, 35, 35, 38, 42

Here, n = 7

Therefore median = ((n+1)/2)th term

Median = value of 4th term

Median = 35

Here, 32 and 35, both occur twice. Therefore, 32 and 35 are the two modes.

3.  Find the mode of the data: 2, 6, 5, 3, 0, 3, 4, 3, 2, 4, 5, 2, 4

Solution:

Arranging the data in ascending order such that same values are put together, we get:

0, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6

Here, 2, 3 and 4 occur three times each. Therefore, 2, 3 and 4 are the three modes.

4. The runs scored in a cricket match by 11 players are as follows:

6, 15, 120, 50, 100, 80, 10, 15, 8, 10, 10

Find the mean, mode and median of this data.

Solution:

Arranging the data in ascending order such that same values are put together, we get:

6, 8, 10, 10, 15, 15, 50, 80, 100, 120

Here, n = 11

Therefore median = ((n+1)/2)th term

Median = value of 6th term

Median = 15

Here, 10 occur three times. Therefore, 10 is the mode of the given data.

Now,

Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean

10 = 3 x 15 – 2 Mean

2 Mean = 45 – 10 = 35

Mean = 35 ÷ 2

= 17.5

5. Find the mode of the following data:

12, 14, 16, 12, 14, 14, 16, 14, 10, 14, 18, 14

Solution:

Arranging the data in ascending order such that same values are put together, we get:

10, 12, 12, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 16, 18

Here, clearly, 14 occurs the most number of times.

Therefore, 14 is the mode of the given data.

6. Heights of 25 children (in cm) in a school are as given below:

168, 165, 163, 160, 163, 161, 162, 164, 163, 162, 164, 163, 160, 163, 163, 164, 163, 160, 165, 163, 162

What is the mode of heights?

Also, find the mean and median.

Solution:

Arranging the data in tabular form, we get:

Height of Children (cm ) Tally marks Frequency
160 ||| 3
161 | 1
162 |||| 4
163 Title: RD Sharma Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 23 Data Handling - II (Central Values) Image 6

10
164 ||| 3
165 ||| 3
168 | 1
Total 25

Therefore median = ((n+1)/2)th term

Median = value of 13th term

Median = 163 cm

Here, clearly, 163 cm occurs the most number of times. Therefore, the mode of the given data is 163 cm.

Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean

163 = 3 x 163 – 2 Mean

2 Mean = 326

Mean = 163 cm.

7. The scores in mathematics test (out of 25) of 15 students are as follows:

19, 25, 23, 20, 9, 20, 15, 10, 5, 16, 25, 20, 24, 12, 20

Find the mode and median of this data. Are they same?

Solution:

Arranging the data in ascending order such that same values are put together, we get:

5, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 19, 20, 20, 20, 20, 23, 24, 25, 25

Here, n = 15

Therefore median = ((n+1)/2)th term

Median = value of 8th term

Median = 20

Here, clearly, 20 occurs most number of times, i.e., 4 times. Therefore, the mode of the given data is 20.

Yes, the median and mode of the given data are the same.

8. Calculate the mean and median for the following data:

Marks 10 11 12 13 14 16 19 20
Number of students 3 5 4 5 2 3 2 1

Using empirical formula, find its mode.

Solution:

Calculation of mean

Mean = Σ fi xi/ Σ fi

= 332/25

= 13.28

Here, n = 25, which is an odd number. Therefore,

Therefore median = ((n+1)/2)th term

Median = value of 13th term

Median = 13

Now, by using empirical formula we have,

Mode = 3Median – 2 Mean

Mode = 3 (13) – 2 (13.28)

Mode = 39 – 26.56

Mode = 12.44.

9. The following table shows the weights of 12 persons.

Weight (in kg) 48 50 52 54 58
Number of persons 4 3 2 2 1

Find the median and mean weights. Using empirical relation, calculate its mode.

Solution:

xi fi xi fi
48 4 192
50 3 150
52 2 104
54 2 108
58 1 58
Total Σ fi = 12 Σ fi xi = 612

Calculation of mean

Mean = Σ fi xi/ Σ fi

= 612/12

= 51 kg

Here n = 12

Therefore median = (n/2)th term + ((n + 1)/2)th term

Median = (value of 6th term + value of 7th term)/2

= (50 + 50)/2

= 50

Now by empirical formula we have,

Now,

Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean

Mode = 3 x 50 – 2 x 51

Mode = 150 – 102

Mode = 48 kg.

Thus, Mean = 51 kg, Median = 50 kg and Mode = 48 kg.
