Q:

If the mean of m observations out of n observations is n and the mean of remaining observations is m, then what is the mean of all n observations?

A) 2m –m^2/n	B) 2m –m/n
C) 2m	D) 2m –m

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 2m –m^2/n

Explanation:

Mean of m observations is n

Mean of n-m observations is m

So total = nm+ (n-m)m

Total observations = n

Mean = Total / Total observations = (2mn-m^2)/n = 2m –m^2/n

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:

Consider the following grouped frequency distribution:

x f

0-10 8

10-20 12

20-30 10

30-40 p

40-50 9

If the mean of the above data is 25.2, then what is the value of p?

A) 9	B) 10
C) 11	D) 12

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 11

Explanation:

Mean = (sum of fixi/ (sum of f) = (8*5 + 12*15 + 10*25 + P*35 +9*45) / (8+12+10+P+9) = 25.2
