(e) Rs. 7, Rs. 19, Rs. 31, Rs. 43, Rs. 70
Solution:
(a) First 5 natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
∴ Mean = 1+2+3+4+5 15 ∑ xi
= {x̄ = }
5 5 n
=3
(b) First 7 whole numbers are 0, 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6
∴ Mean = 0+1+2+3+4+5+6 ∑ xi
{x̄ = }
7 n
=3
(c) First 4 prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7
∴ Mean = 2+3+5+7 17 ∑ xi
= {x̄ = }

Question 5.
Ayushree sat for six tests and Ananya sat for seven tests. Their percentage scores were:
Ayushree: 68 75 70 45 57 77
Ananya: 52 87 64 53 74 81 86
Who has the higher mean score?
Solution:
Ayushree’s score (in percent) = 68, 75, 70, 45, 57, 77
∴ Her mean = 68+75+70+45+57+77 ∑ xi
{x̄ = }

and Ananya’s score (in percent) = 52, 87, 64, 53,74,81,86
∴ Her mean = 52+87+64+53+74+81+86

= 7
= 71%
It is clear that Ananya’s score is better
Question 6.
Find the mean of first ten odd natural numbers.
Solution:
First 10 odd natural numbers are 1,3,5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19
∴ Mean
1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17+19 ∑ xi

Question 7.
If the mean of 16, 14, x, 23, 20 is 18 find the value of x.
Solution:
Mean of 5 terms = 18
∴ Then total = 18 x 5 = 90
But sum of given numbers is
= 16 + 14 + x + 23 + 20 = 73 + x
∴ 73 + x = 90 ⇒ x = 90 – 73 = 17
Hence x = 17
Question 8.
If the mean of x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6, x + 8 is 24, find x.
Solution:
Mean of 5 terms = 24
∴ Their total = 24 x 5 = 120
Now sum of mean = x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8
= 5x + 20
∴ 5x + 20 = 120 ⇒ 5.x = 120 – 20
⇒ 5x = 100 ⇒ x = 100
= 20
5
∴ x = 20
Question 9.
Madhu practised on her sitar 45 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 50 minutes and 20 minutes. What was her mean practice
time?
Solution:
Madhu practised on her sitar for 45 minutes, 30 minuts, 60 minutes, 50 minutes and 20 minutes
∴ Her mean practice
45+30+60+50+20 ∑ xi
= {x̄ =

205
= = 41 minutes

Question 10.
Nisha secured 73, 86, 78 and 75 marks in four tests. What is the least number of marks she can secure in her next test, if she
has to have a mean score of 80 marks in five tests?
Solution:
Marks secured by Nisha m 4 tests are = 73, 86, 78, 75
Let she secured marks in the next (fifth) test Then mean marks secured will be
73+86+78+75+x 312+x
= =
5 5
But her mean score = 80 marks
∴ = 80 ⇒ 312 + x = 400
312+x
⇒ x = 400 – 312 = 88
Hence her score in the fifth test = 88 marks
Question 11.
A cricketer has a mean score of 60 runs in ten innings. Find out how many runs are to be scored in the eleventh innings to
raise the mean score to 62.
Solution:
Mean score of a cricketer = 60 run
No. of innings (H) = 10
∴ Total runs = 60 x 10 = 600 runs
Mean score in 11 innings = 62
∴ Total runs = 62 x 11 = 682 run
∴ No. of runs scored in 11 th innings
= 682 – 600 = 82 runs
Question 12.

0.3 20 6
0.4 40 16

Total 200 71
∴ Mean =
∑ fi xi 71

∑ fi
Question 15.
The makes scored in a test by a class of 25 boys are as follows:
24 25 23 20 20 19
22 20 24 22 18 23
23 18 20 16 25 24
17 18 23 22 23 20 24
Draw a frequency table and calculate the mean.
Solution:
No. of boys (n) = 25
Highest score = 25
Lowest score = 16
∴ Range = 25 – 169
Now taking class intervals
∑ f xi 533
Mean = = 21.32
i
=
∑ fi 25
∴ Mean marks = 21.32 marks
