Question 1:

Calculate arithmetic averages of the following information:
(a) Marks obtained by 10 students:
30, 62, 47, 25, 52, 39, 56, 66, 12, 31
(b) Income of 7 families (in â‚¹): Also show Σ X-X¯ = 0
550, 490, 670, 890, 435, 590, 575
(c) Height of 8 students ( in cm)  :
140, 145, 147, 152, 148, 144, 150, 158
 

Answer:

(a) 

X 30 62 47 25 52 39 56 66 12 31

ΣX = 420
X=ΣXN=42010=42
Thus, mean marks is 42

Question 17:

The mean salary paid to 1000 workers of a factory was found to be â‚¹ 180.4 . Later on it was discovered that the wages of two workers were wrongly taken as 297 and 165 instead of 197 and 185. Find the correct mean.

Answer:

Given:
Number of workers = 1000
Incorrect values = 297, 165
Correct values = 197, 185
Incorrect mean = 180.4

Incorrect Mean, XI=ΣXIN180.4=ΣXI1000ΣXI=180400

Correct ΣXCXI + correct values - incorrect values
                     = ΣXI + 197 + 185 − 297 − 165
