Q6. Find the class mark of the class 10 - 25.
Ans: Class mark= 1⁄2(10+25) =17.5
Q7. If the difference of mode and median of the data is 24, then find the difference of median and
mean.
Ans: Mode-Median=24
Mode=24+Median
3 Median-2 Mean=Mode
3 Median-2 Mean=24+Median
3 Median-Median=24+2 Mean
Median-Mean=24/2=12
Q8. The mean and median of the data are 14 and 15. Find the value of mode.
Ans: 3 Median=Mode +2 Mean
Mode= 3x15 – 2x14 = 17
Q9. Find the mean of first n odd natural numbers.
Ans: Mean = (1+3+5+⋯ .+(2n-1))/n = n
Q10. Find the median of the first 9 prime numbers.
Ans: Median of 2, 3, 5, 7 , 11, 13, 17, 19, 23 = 11

CASE STUDY QUESTIONS
1. Municipality is installing playground equipment at various parks. They have to study the age
group of children playing in a park of a specific colony. The classification of children
according to their ages, playing in a park is shown in the following table.
Age group of children (in years) 6-8 8-10 10-12 12-14 14-16
Number of children 43 58 70 42 27
i. In which age group, will the maximum number of children belong?
ii. Find the mode of the ages of children playing in the park
ANSWER:
i. 10-12
ii. Mode = 10.6
Here,
l = lower limit of the modal class
h = size of the class interval
f1 = frequency of the modal class
f0 = frequency of the class preceding the modal class
f2 = frequency of the class succeeding the modal class
2. A group of 71 people visited the local healthcare center on free blood sugar test day. The
following table shows their ages
Age (in years) Less than Less than Less than Less than Less than Less than
10 20 30 40 50 60
Number of 3 10 22 40 54 71
people
Based on the above information answer the following:
i. Find the median age of the persons visited the museum
ii. If the price of the ticket for the age group 30-40 is ₹30 .then the total amount spent by this age
group is
ANSWER:
i. Median = 37.5
ii. Rs 540
Substituting the values, median = 37.5
And since number of people in 30-40 age group is 18, amount = Rs 30 x 18
