Question 1.
Give 3 situations, where mean, median and mode are separately appropriate and counted. [Page No. 202]
Solution:
Mean :
a) Rice required for a certain number of students for a given period.
b) To compare the marks of students of a class.
c) To calculate the daily income of a shop during a month.

Median :
a) To study the salaries of staff of an institution.
b) To compare heights of boys and girls.

Mode :
a) To find the size of the shoe with heighest sale.

Try These

Question 1.
Find the median of the scores 75, 21, 56, 36, 81, 05, 42. [Page No. 207]
Solution:
Arranging the data in ascending order
05, 21, 36, 42, 56, 75, 81
Number of terms in the data = 7 – odd
∴ $$\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)^{t h}$$ term = $$\frac{7+1}{2}=\frac{8}{2}$$ = 4th term is the median = 42.

Question 2.
Median of a data arranged in ascending order 7, 10, 15, x, y, 27, 30 is 17 and when one more observation 50 is added to the data the median has become 18. Find x and y. [Page No. 207]
Solution:
The given data in ascending order is 7, 10, 15, x, y, 27, 30
Median = $$\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)^{t h}$$ term = $$\left(\frac{7+1}{2}\right)$$ = 4th term = x
∴ x = 17 by problem
When 50 is added, the data becomes 7, 10, 15, 17, y, 27, 30, 50
Median = $$\frac{\left(\left(\frac{n}{2}\right)+\left(\frac{n}{2}+1\right)\right)}{2}$$ terms
18 = $$\frac{17+y}{2}$$ (by problem)
17 + y = 36
y = 36 – 17 = 19

Question 3.
Find the median marks in the data.[Page No. 208]

Solution:

Median = $$\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)^{t h}$$ term as N = 29 is odd
∴ $$\frac{29+1}{2}$$ = 15th term.
15th observation is 15. (from the table)

Question 4.
In finding the median, the given data must be in order ? Why ? [Page No. 208]
Solution:
In finding the median, the observations must be in order. The data is to be arranged either in ascending/descending order to divide the data into two equal groups.

Think and Discuss

(Page No. 208)
Solution:

Question 2.
