MEAN - PROBLEM & SOLUTION -
There are some examples are given below for your better understanding about mean and their problem with solutions.
Ans.) From the given data, we may prepare the table given below –
Class Interval Class Mark (xₐ) Frequency (fₐ) (fₐ X xₐ)
80 – 100 90 20 1800
100 – 120 110 30 3300
120 – 140 130 20 2600
140 – 160 150 40 6000
160 – 180 170 90 15300
∑fₐ = 200 ∑fₐxₐ = 29000
∑fₐxₐ 29000
Mean = --------- = --------- = 145
∑fₐ 200
so, the required mean value is 145. (Ans.)
Ans.) From the given data, we may prepare the frequency distribution table as under –
60 + 65 125
Let, the assumed mean would be, A = --------- = -------- = 62.5
2 2
Class Interval Mid Value(xₐ) Frequency(fₐ) dₐ = (xₐ - A) fₐ X dₐ
45 – 50 47.5 5 -15 -75
50 – 55 52.5 8 -10 -80
55 – 60 57.5 30 -5 -150
60 – 65 62.5 = A 25 0 0
65 – 70 67.5 14 5 70
70 – 75 72.5 12 10 120
75 – 80 77.5 6 15 90
∑fₐ = 100 ∑fₐdₐ = -25
∑fₐdₐ
Hence the mean is given by x = A + ---------
∑fₐ
(-25)
= 62.5 + -------- = 62.5 – 0.25
100
= 62.25
Hence the mean of the given data is 62.25 (Ans.)
Ans.) The given class intervals are in inclusive form. So, we convert them into exclusive form, and prepare the table as given below –
Marks Class Mark (xₐ) No of Students (fₐ) dₐ = xₐ-A fₐ X dₐ
= xₐ- 45.5
10.5 – 20.5 15.5 2 -30 -60
20.5 – 30.5 25.5 6 -20 -120
30.5 – 40.5 35.5 10 -10 -100
40.5 – 50.5 45.5 = A 12 0 0
50.5 – 60.5 55.5 9 10 90
60.5 – 70.5 65.5 7 20 140
70.5 – 80.5 75.5 4 30 120
∑fₐ = 50 ∑fₐdₐ = 70
∑fₐdₐ 70
No, the Mean = A + --------- = (45.5 + ------)
∑fₐ 50
= (45.5 + 1.4)
= 46.9
So, the required mean value is 46.9. (Ans.)
Example.4) If the mean of 7, 10, 4, 12, x, 3 is 7.5, find ‘x’
Ans.) Sum of the given numbers = (7 + 10 + 4 + 12 + x + 3)
= (36 + x)
Total number of given numbers = 7
As per the given condition, mean of the given numbers
(36 + x)
= ---------- = 7.5
6
Or, (36 + x) = 45
Or, x = (45 – 36) = 9
So, the required number is 9 (Ans.)
Example.5) The marks obtained by 15 students in a class test are => 15, 10, 14, 11, 17, 7, 14, 15, 9, 12, 9, 6, 11, 8, 16.
Find (i) Their mean marks
(ii) The mean of their marks, when the marks of each student are increased by 2
(iii) The mean of their marks, when 3 marks are deducted from the marks of each students.
(iv) The mean of their marks, when the marks of each student are tripled.
Ans.) Sum of all the marks = (15 + 10 + 14 + 11 + 17 + 7 + 14 + 15 + 9 + 12 + 9 + 6 + 11 + 8 + 16) = 174
Number of students = 15
174
Mean number = ------- = 11.6 ………………………….(i) (Ans.)
15
On increasing 2 marks of each students, total mark is increased = (15 X 2) = 30 marks
New sum of all the marks = 174 + 30 = 204
Number of students = 15
304
Mean marks now = ------- = 20.26 …………………………(ii) (Ans.)
15
On decreasing 3 marks of each, marks decreased = (15 X 3) = 45
Now, new sum of all the marks = (174 – 45) = 129
Number of students = 15
129
Mean marks now = -------- = 8.6 …………………….(iii) (Ans.)
15
On tripling the marks of each, the sum is tripled.
New sum of all the marks = (174 X 3) = 522
Number of students = 15
522
Mean marks now = -------- = 34.8 ………………………..(iv) (Ans.)
