Very Short Answer Type Questions [1 Mark]
Question 1.
Find mode, using an empirical relation, when it is given that mean and median
are 10.5 and 9.6 respectively.
Solution:
Mean = 10.5 and median = 9.6
Empirical relation: 3 Median = Mode + 2 Mean
3(9.6) = Mode + 2(10.5)
28.8 = Mode + 21
Mode = 28.8 – 21 = 7.8
Question 2.
In a frequency distribution, if a = assumed mean = 55,∑ fi = 100, h = 10
and ∑ƒiμi = -30, then find the mean of the distribution

Question 6.
The average score of boys in the examination of a school is 71 and that of the
the girls is 73. The average score of the school in the examination is 71.8.
Find the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls who appeared in
the examination.
Solution:
Let number of boys in the school be x
Average score of boys = 71
Total score of boys in the examination of the school = 71xx = 71x
Let number of girls in the school be y
Average score of girls = 73
Total score of girls in the examination of the school = 73 x y = 73y
Now,
average score of the school in examination = 71.8
