0%
$33$
0%
$34$

Explanation

Formula used:

$\text{Arithmetic mean}= \dfrac{\text{Sum of given numbers}}{\text{Total numbers}}$

Given

$\Rightarrow$

$\dfrac{a+b+c+d+e}{5}=28$ and

$\dfrac{a+c+e}{3} =24$

To find

$\Rightarrow$

$\dfrac{b+d}{2}$ which is nothing but the mean of

$b$ and

$d$ .

$\begin{aligned}{}\dfrac{{a + b + c + d + e}}{5} &= 28\\a + b + c + d + e& = 140\quad \dots (i)\end{aligned}$

Also,

$\begin{aligned}{}\dfrac{{a + c + e}}{3} &= 24\\a + c + e& = 72\quad \dots (ii)\end{aligned}$

By using

$(i)$ and

$(ii)$ ,

$\begin{aligned}{}a + b + c + d + e &= 140\\b + d + 72 &= 140\\b + d &= 68\\\dfrac{{b + d}}{2} &= 34\end{aligned}$

Hence, option

$D$ is the correct answer.

The mean weight of 9 students is 25 kg. If one more student is joined in the group the mean is unaltered, then the weight of the 10th student is

0%
25 kg
0%
24 kg
0%
26 kg
0%
23 kg

Explanation

Formula used:

$Arithmetic\ mean= \dfrac{Sum\ of\ given\ numbers}{Total\ numbers}$

Apply the above formula, we get the sum of weights of the 9 students =

$25\times 9=225$ kg

If one more student is joined in the group, then total number of students is 10, and the mean isn 25.

The sum of weights of the 10 students is

$25\times 10=250$ kg

The weight of the tenth student is

$250-225=25$ kg

The sum of

$15$ observations is

$434+x.$ If the mean of the data is

$x,$ then find

$x.$

0%
$25$
0%
$27$
0%
$31$
0%
$33$

Explanation

Given, sum of all observations

$=434+x$

Number of observations

$=15$

and

$Mean=x$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{434+x}{15}=x$

$\Rightarrow 434+x=15x$

$\Rightarrow x-15x=-434$

$\Rightarrow -14x=-434$

$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{-434}{-14}$

$\Rightarrow x=31$

Hence, the value of

$x$ is

$31$ .

$20$ are literate.

0%
True
0%
False

Explanation

The given figure represents the graph showing the number of books read by number of people.

The given statement says about the number of males who are literate based on the age of the person.

Hence, the given statement is false.

Therefore, option

$B$ is correct.

State whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F):
In a bar graph, width of a bar has no significance. It is only for eye attraction.

0%
True
0%
False

Explanation

We know,

A bar graph is a graphical representation of data using bars of equal width drawn vertically or horizontally with equal spacing between them and different heights.

But, width of a bar do not have any significance and is only for eye attraction.

Hence, the statement is true.

Therefore, option

$A$ is correct.

State whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F):
In a bar graph, bars can be drawn either vertically or horizontally.

0%
True
0%
False

Explanation

We know,

A bar graph is a graphical representation of data using bars of equal width drawn vertically or horizontally with equal spacing between them and different heights.

Then clearly, in a bar graph, bars can be drawn either vertically or horizontally.

That is, the statement is true and option

$A$ is correct.

Let

$m$ be the mid-point and

$l$ be the upper class limit of a class in a continuous frequency distribution. The lower class limit of the class is:

0%
$2m + l$
0%
$2m - l$
0%
$m + l$
0%
$m + 2l$

Explanation

Let

$a$ be lower class limit,

$l$ is the upper class limit and

$m$ is the mid-point
then, mid-point

$m = \dfrac{a +l}{2}$
Therefore,

$a = 2m - l$
