Explanation
By Arrange the series in increasing order. we get
$$22,24,25,26,26,27,27,28,28,29,31,32,32,33,35,35,36,36,37$$
Since, number of terms $$N=19$$
Lower quartile $$Q_1=\cfrac {N+1}{4}=\cfrac {19+1}{4}=5^{th} term$$
$$\therefore Q_1=26$$
The numbers are arranged in the descending order : $$108,\,94,\,88,\,82,\,x+7,\,x-7,\,60,\,58,\,42,\,39$$. If the median is $$73$$, the value of $$x$$ is:

Explanation
Numbers are $$108,94,88,82,x+7,x-7,60,58,42,39$$
Median $$=73$$
Median $$=\cfrac { { \left( \cfrac { n }{ 2 } \right) }+{ \left( \cfrac { n }{ 2 } +1 \right) } }{ 2 } $$
$$\left( \cfrac { n }{ 2 } \right) $$th obs $$=x+7$$
$$\left( \cfrac { n }{ 2 } +1 \right) $$th obs $$=x-7$$
$$73=\cfrac { (x+7)+(x-7) }{ 2 } \\ =>146=2x\\ =>x=73$$

Since there are $$7$$, i.e. an odd number of observation,
therefore, median = value of $$\left(\displaystyle\frac{7+1}{2}\right)^{th}$$ observation = value of $$4^{th}$$ observation = $$11$$

Arranging the data in sequence
$$1, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 14, 15$$.
Median = $$\cfrac{N+1}{2}$$
$$N$$ is no. of data given
Here $$N=8$$
$$\Rightarrow\; \cfrac{8+1}{2}=4.5^{th}\;term$$
$$\cfrac{ 4\;^{th}term + \;5^{th}term}{2} = \cfrac{\left(7+9\right)}{2}=\cfrac{16}{2}=8$$
On $$13$$ consecutive days the number of person booked for violating speed limit of $$40$$ km/hr. were as follows $$59, 52, 58, 61, 68, 57, 62, 50, 55, 62, 53, 54, 51$$.
The median number of speed violations per day is
Report Question

$$61$$

$$52$$

$$55$$
0%
$$57$$
Explanation
$$\Rightarrow$$ In the above given data $$62$$ is repeated twice,
$$\Rightarrow$$ Now we write the data in ascending order.
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 57, 58, 59, 61, 62, 62, 68$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ Thus, the measure of $$\dfrac{13+1}{2}=7th$$ number is median value.
$$\therefore$$ The median number of speed violation per day is $$57$$.

When one of the numbers is excluded.
Sum of remaining 4 numbers = 4 $$\times $$ 25 = 100
Excluded number = 135 -100 = 35.

Explanation
$$\displaystyle \because $$ Descending order of terms
$$= 50, 42, 35, (2x + 10,), (2x - 8), 12, 11, 8$$
$$\displaystyle \Rightarrow $$ Total number of terms $$= 8$$ (even)
$$\displaystyle \therefore $$ Median = $$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\left [ \left(\frac{8}{2}\right)^{th}\text {term}+\left ( \frac{8}{2}+1 \right )^{th} \text{term}\right ]$$
$$= \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\left [ \left ( 2x+10 \right )+\left ( 2x-8 \right ) \right ]$$
$$= \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\left [ 4x+2 \right ]=\left ( 2x+1 \right )$$
As per question--
$$\displaystyle \left ( 2x+1 \right )=25$$
$$\displaystyle \therefore x=\cfrac{25-1}{2}=12$$
If the mean of x and $$\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}$$ is M, then the mean of x$$^3$$ and $$\displaystyle \frac{1}{x^3}$$ is

$$M^3 + 3$$
Explanation
Given,
$$M=\dfrac{x+\dfrac{1}{x}}{2}$$
$$2M=x+\dfrac{1}{x}$$ $$ ....... (1)$$
On cubing both sides, we get
$$(2M)^3=(x+\dfrac{1}{x})^3$$
$$8M^3=x^3+\dfrac{1}{x^3}+3(x+\dfrac{1}{x})$$
$$8M^3=x^3+\dfrac{1}{x^3}+3(2M)$$
$$8M^3=x^3+\dfrac{1}{x^3}+6M$$
$$x^3+\dfrac{1}{x^3}=8M^3-6M$$
$$\dfrac{x^3+\dfrac{1}{x^3}}{2}=M(4M^2-3)$$
Hence, this is the answer.

according to the table the weight of each child from 19th boy to 29th boy is 24 kg.
$$\therefore Median =24$$

Explanation
Mean $$ = \dfrac { \text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Total number of observations}} $$
Given, mean of $$ 20 $$ observations $$ = 15 $$.
Thus, sum of $$ 20 $$ observations $$ = 15 \times 20 = 300 $$
When $$ 20 $$ is deleted and two more observations are included in the data, sum of observation $$ = 300 - 20 + X + Y = 280 + X + Y $$.
And number of observations is $$ 20 - 1 + 2 = 21 $$
Given, Mean of wages of new set of observations $$ = 15 $$
$$ = \dfrac {280 + X + Y }{21} = 15 $$
$$ \Rightarrow 280 + X + Y= 15 \times 21 = 315 $$
$$ \Rightarrow X + Y = 315 - 280 = 35 $$

First $$n$$ natural numbers are written in the table along with their respective weight.
Weighted arithmetic mean $$=\dfrac{\sum_{n}^{r-1}w_rx_r}{\sum_{n}^{r-1}w_r}$$
$$=\dfrac{1\times 1+2\times 2+3\times 3+...+n\times n}{1+2+3+4+...+n}$$
$$=\dfrac{1^2+2^2+3^2+...+n^2}{1+2+3+4+...+n}$$
Using formula of sum of series, we get
$$=\dfrac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}\times \dfrac{2}{n(n+1)}$$
$$=\dfrac{(2n+1)}{3}$$
Hence, this is the required answer.

Arithmetic mean using direct method formula is $$\bar { x } = \dfrac { \sum { { f }_{ i }{ x }_{ i } } }{ \sum { { f }_{ i } } } $$
$$\bar { x } = \dfrac { 1785 }{ 190 } $$
$$\bar { x } = 9.3947$$

$$\Sigma f_i=50$$
$$\Sigma f_i x_i = 1350$$
$$\therefore$$ Amount of money collected = Arithmetic mean
$$\Rightarrow \; Mean = \cfrac{\Sigma f_i x_i}{\Sigma f_i} = \cfrac{1350}{50}=27$$
$$\therefore \; $$ the amount of money collected = 27Rs.

$$\Sigma f_i = 550$$
$$\Sigma f_i x_i = 21175$$
By direct method
$$\text{Mean} = \cfrac{\Sigma f_i x_i}{\Sigma f_i} = \cfrac{21175}{550} = 38.5$$
$$\therefore$$ Mean $$=$$ $$38.5$$

$$\Sigma F = 30$$
$$\Sigma Fd = 1500$$
Mean (By shortcut method) = $$A+\cfrac{\Sigma Fd}{\Sigma F} = 100+\cfrac{1500}{30} = 100+50 = 150$$
D) Mean = 150

Explanation
Distance traveled in first $$10$$ minutes is $$5 \times \dfrac 16 = \cfrac 56$$
Distance traveled in next $$20$$ minutes is $$2.5 \times \dfrac 13 = \dfrac 56$$
Total distance traveled is $$\dfrac 56 + \dfrac 56 = \dfrac 53$$
Average speed is $$\dfrac { \frac 53 }{ \frac 12 } = \dfrac {10}{3}$$
