Q 17) The algebraic sum of the deviation of 20 observations measured from 30 is 2. So, the mean of observations is

(a) 30.0
(b) 30.1
(c) 30.2
(d) 30.3
Ans: b
Solution Hint
Given, algebraic sum of of the deviation of 20 observations measured from 30 is 2
⇒ ∑(xi – 30) = 2 {1 ≤ i ≤ 20} ⇒ ∑xi – 30 × 20 = 2
⇒ (∑xi)/20 – (30 × 20)/20 = 2/20 ⇒ (∑xi)/20 – 30 = 0.1
⇒ Mean – 30 = 0.1 ⇒ Mean = 30 + 0.1 ⇒ Mean = 30.1

Q 18) Assuming the variance of four numbers w, x, y, and z as 9. Find the variance of 5w, 5x, 5y and 5z.
a) 225
b) 5/9
c) 9/5
d) 54
Ans: a

Solution Hint (σ_x)² = h²(σ_u)², if u = (x – h)/a
Now, h = (1/5). ⇒ Variance, (σ_u)² = 9 × 25 = 225

Q 19) The median and SD of a distributed are 20 and 4 respectively. If each item is increased by 2, the new median and SD are
(a) 20, 4
(b) 22, 6
(c) 22, 4
(d) 20, 6
Ans: c
Solution Hint 

Since each value is increased by 2, therefore the median value is also increased by 2. So, new median = 22
Again, the variance is independent of the change of origin. So it remains the same. Hence standard deviation also remain same.

Q 20) What is the median and standard deviation of a distribution are 50 and 5 respectively, if each item is increased by 4.
a) Median will increase and S.D. will increase
b) Both will remain same
c) median will go up by 2 but S.D. will remain same
d) median will increase and S.D. will decrease
Ans: c
Solution Hint 

Median will change if the observations are changes but standard deviation is remains unaffected by the change in origin. So, here the median will go up by 4 and S.D. will remain same.

Q 21) The difference between the upper and the lower class limits is called
a. mean
b. class size
c. frequency
d. mid-points 

Ans: b

Q 22) If the S.D. is a set of observations is 4 and if each observation is divided by 4, find the S.D. of the new observations.
a) 4
b) 3
c) 2
d) 1 

Ans: d

Q 23) The change in which of following terms does not affect the standard deviation?
a) Origin
b) Scale
c) Origin and scale
d) Neither origin nor scale
Ans: a
Solution Hint Change in origin does not affect the standard deviation, whereas standard deviation is affected by scale.

Q 24) The mean and Standard deviation of a sample were found to be 9.5 and 2.5, respectively. Later, an additional observation 15 was added to the original data. Find the S.D. of the 11 observation.
a) 2.6
b) 2.8
c) 2.86
d) 3.24 

Ans: c

Q 25) The following marks were obtained by the students in a test: 81, 72, 90, 90, 86, 85,92, 70, 71, 83, 89, 95,85, 79, 62 The range of the marks is
a. 9
b. 33
c. 27
d. 17 

Ans: b

Q 26) The mean of 5 observations is 3 and variance is 2. If three of the five observations are 1, 3, 5, find the other two.
a) 2, 6
b) 3, 3
c) 1, 5
d) 2, 4 

Ans: d

Q 27) The average of four numbers is 60. If first number is one-fourth of the sum of the last three, the first number is:
a. 48
b. 15
c. 42
d. 45 

Ans: a

Q 28) The mean of a group of 100 observations was found to be 20. Later on, it was found that three observations were incorrect, which was recorded as 21, 21 and 18. Then the mean if the incorrect observations are omitted is
(a) 18
(b) 20
(c) 22
(d) 24
Ans: b
Solution Hint

Given mean of 100 observations is 20

Now   ∑ xi/100 = 20 (1 = i = 100)

⇒ ∑xi = 100×20                   

⇒ ∑xi = 2000

3 observations 21, 21 and 18 are recorded in-correctly.

So ∑xi = 2000 – 21 – 21 – 18

⇒ ∑xi = 2000 – 60                

⇒ ∑xi = 1940
Now new mean is
∑ xi/100 = 1940/97 = 20
So, the new mean is 20

Q 29) The sum of 10 items is 12 and the sum of their squares is 18. The standard deviation is
(a) 1/5
(b) 2/5
(c) 3/5
(d) 4/5
Ans: c

Solution Hint

Given, ∑x = 12 and ∑x² = 18

Now, variance = ∑x²/n – (∑x/n)²

⇒ variance = 18/10 – (12/10)²             

⇒ variance = 9/5 – (6/5)²

⇒ variance = 9/5 – 36/25                    

⇒ variance = (9 × 5 – 36)/25

⇒ variance = (45 – 36)/25                   

⇒ variance = 9/25

⇒ Standard deviation = √(9/25)         

⇒ Standard deviation = 3/5

Q 30) If the mean of first n natural numbers is 5n/9, then n =
(a) 5
(b) 4
(c) 9
(d) 10
Ans: c

Solution Hint
Given mean of first n natural number is 5n/9

⇒ (n+1)/2 = 5n/9                         

⇒ n + 1 = (5n×2)/9

⇒ n + 1 = 10n/9                          

⇒ 9(n + 1) = 10n

⇒ 9n + 9 = 10n                           

⇒ 10n – 9n = 9              

⇒ n = 9

Q 31) The following is the data of wages per day: 5, 4, 7, 5, 8, 8, 8, 5, 7, 9, 5, 7, 9, 10, 8. The mode of the data is:
a. 7
