Question 3.
The mean weight of 60 students of a class is 52.75 kg. If the mean weight of 35 of them is 54 kg, find the mean weight of the remaining students.
Answer:
Mean weight of 60 students = 52.75 kg
∴ Total weight of 60 students = 52.75 × 60 kg = 3165 kg
Mean weight of 35 students among them = 54 kg
∴ Total weight of 35 students = 54 × 35 kg = 1890 kg
∴ Remaining students = 60 – 35 = 25 and total weight of 25 students
= 3165 – 1890 = 1275 kg
∴ Mean weight of 25 students = 1275 ÷ 25 = 51 kg

Question 4.
The mean age of 18 students of a class is 14.5 years. Two more students of age 15 years and 16 years join the class. What is the new mean age ?
Answer:
Mean age of 18 students = 14.5 years
∴ Then total age = 14.5 × 18 years = 261 years
Total age of 2 more students =15 + 16 = 31 years
and total age of 18 + 2 = 20 students = 261 + 31 = 292 years
∴ Mean age = \(\frac{292}{20}\) = 14.6 years

Question 5.
If the mean of the five observations x + 1, x + 3, x + 5, 2x + 2, 3x + 3 is -14, find the mean of first three observations.
Answer:
Mean of the 5 observations
x + 1, x + 3, x + 5, 2x + 2, 3x + 3 is 14

Question 6.
The mean height of 36 students of a class is 150.5 cm. Later on, it was detected that the height of one student was wrongly copied as 165 cm instead of 156 cm. Find the correct mean height.
Answer:
Mean height of 36 students of a class = 150.5 cm
Total height = 150.5 × 36 = 5418 cm
Difference in height which was wrongly copied = 165 + 56 = 9 cm
Actual height = 5418 – 9 = 5409 cm
∴ Actual mean height = \(\frac{5409}{36}\)
= 150.25 cm

Question 7.
The mean of 40 items is 35. Later on, it was discovered that two items were misread as 36 and 29 Instead of 63 and 22. Find the correct mean.
Answer:
Mean of 40 items = 35
∴ Total of 40 items = 35 × 40 = 1400
Difference in two items which were wrongly read = (63 + 22) – (36 + 29)
= 85 – 65 = 20
∴ Actual total = 1400 + 20 = 1420
and correct mean = \(\frac{1420}{40}\) = 35.5

Question 8.
The following observations have been arranged in ascending order. If the median of the data is 63, find the value of x : 29, 32, 48, 50, x, x + 2, 72, 75, 87, 91
Answer:
Here number of data is 10 which is even

Represent the above data by a histogram and a frequency polygon.
Solution:
We take marks on the x-axis and no. of students on the y-axis. Then, we draw a histogram by given data, Then by joining the mid-point of each class with .v-axis, we get a frequency polygon as shown.

ML Aggarwal Class 9 Solutions for ICSE Maths Chapter 20 Statistics Chapter Test img-15
Taking class interval 19 – 20, 21 – 22 etc., make a frequency distribution for the above data.
Construct a combined histogram and frequency polygon for the distribution.
Answer:
Least mark = 19
Greatest marks = 30
Range = 30 – 19 = 11
Now we shall make a frequency distribution table :
