CBSEENMA11015501

All the students of a class performed poorly in Mathematics. The teacher decided to give grace marks of 10 to each of the students. Which of the following statistical measures will not change even after the grace marks were given?

  • Mean

  • Median

  • Mode

  • Variance

Solution

D.

Variance

If initially, marks of students were xi, then

So, the variance will not change whereas mean, median and mode will increase by 10.

Question
CBSEENMA11015535

For two data sets, each of size 5, the variances are given to be 4 and 5 and the corresponding means are given to be 2 and 4, respectively. The variance of the combined data set is

Question
CBSEENMA11015625

If in a frequently distribution, the mean and median are 21 and 22 respectively, then its mode is approximately

  • 22.0

  • 20.5

  • 25.5

  • 24.0

Solution

D.

24.0

Mode + 2Mean = 3 Median
⇒ Mode = 3 × 22 – 2 × 21= 66 – 42= 24.

Question
CBSEENMA11015524

If the mean deviation about the median of the numbers a, 2a, ....., 50a is 50, then |a| equals 

  • 2

  • 3

  • 4

  • 5

Solution

C.

4

Median = 25.5 a
Mean deviation about median = 50
rightwards double arrow space fraction numerator straight capital sigma space vertical line straight x subscript straight i space minus 25.5 straight a vertical line over denominator 50 end fraction space equals space 50
⇒24.5 a + 23.5a + ..... + 0.5a + 0.5a + .... + 24.5a = 2500
⇒ a + 3a + 5a + ..... + 49a = 2500
⇒ 25/2 (50a) = 2500 ⇒ a = 4
