Q3. A child says that the median of 3, 14, 18, 20, 5 is 18. What concept does the child missed about finding the median?
A The order of numbers. B 14 C 18 D None of these
Q4. The median of first 10 prime numbers is:

Q6. Find the missing frequencies in the following frequency distribution if it is known that the mean of the distribution is 50.
x 10 30 50 70 90
f 17 f1 32 f2 19 Total 120
Q7. A survey regarding the height (in cm) of 51 girls of class X of a school was conducted and the following data was obtained.
Hight in cm Number of girls
Less than 140 4
Less than 145 11
Less than 150 29
Less than 155 40
Less than 160 46
Less than 165 51
Find the median height.
Q8. The relation between mean, mode and median is:
A Mode = (3 × mean) - (2 × median) B Mode = (3 × median) - (2 × mean)
C Mode = (3 × mean) - (2 × mode) D Mode = (3 × median) - (2 × mode)
Q9. Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R).Mark the correct choice as:
Assertion: If for a certain frequency distribution, l = 24.5, h = 4, f = 14, f = 14, f = 15 then the value of mode is 25.
0 1 2
Reason: Mode of a frequency distribution is given by:
f1 −f0
Mode = l + ( ) × h
2f1 −f0 −f2
A Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is B Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is
the correct explanation of assertion (A). not the correct explanation of assertion (A).
C Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false. D Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
Q10. The wickets taken by a bowler in 10 cricket matches are 2, 6, 4, 5, 0, 2, 1, 3, 2, 3. The median of the data is:
A 2 B 3 C 2.5 D 1
Q11. Using the empirical formula, find the mode of a distribution whose mean is 8.32 and the median is 8.05.
Q12. The mean of the following data is 42, find the missing frequencies x and y if the sum of the frequencies is 100.
Class interval 0-10 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60 60-70 70-80
Frequency 7 10 x 13 y 10 14 9
Q13. The mean of 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 4 is m. The number 3, 2, 2, 4, 3, 3, p have mean m – 1 and median q. Then p + q =
A 4 B 5 C 6 D 7
Q14. The marks obtained by 100 students of a class in an examination are given below:
Marks Number of students
0-5 2
5-10 5
10-15 6
15-20 8
20-25 10
25-30 25
30-35 20
35-40 18
40-45 4
45-50 2
Draw cumulative frequency curves by using
1. 'less than' series and
2. 'more than' series
Hence, find the median.
Q15. The given distribution shows the number of wickets taken by the bowlers in one-day international cricket matches:
Number of wickets Less than 15 Less than 30 Less than 45 Less than 60 Less than 75 Less than 90 Less than 105 Less than 120
Number of bowlers 2 5 9 17 39 54 70 80
Draw a 'less than type' ogive from the above data. Find the median.
Q16. The following table shows the marks scored by 80 students in an examination:
