Q:

Consider the following frequency distribution:

x     f

8     6

5     4

6     5

10    8

9     9

4     6

7     4

What is the median for the distribution?

A) 6 B) 7
C) 8 D) 9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 8

Explanation:
Summation of frequencies = 6+4+5+8+9+6+4 = 42
Median = mid value = average of 21st and 22nd value
Arranging data in increasing order we get

x     f

4     6

5     4

6     5

7     4

8     6

9     9

10    8

 
So mid value i.e 21st and 22nd value = 8

Q:

If the mean of a, b, c is M and ab + bc + ca = 0, then the mean of a2+b2+c23 is :

A) M B) 3 M^2
C) 2 (M/3) D) M^2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3 M^2

Explanation:

We have : ( a + b + c) / 3 = M   or (a + b + c) = 3M.

Now. a+b+c2=3M2=9M2 .

 

 

 

<=>a2+b2+c2+2ab+bc+ca=9M2

 

 

 

a2+b2+c2=9M2   ,(ab+bc+ca=0)     

 

 

 

Required mean =a2+b2+c23=9M23=3M2 .
