Answer
(i) Arranging given observations in ascending order:
11, 17, 19, 19, 23
Sum of observations = 17 + 19 + 11 + 23 + 19 = 89.
By formula,
Mean = = 17.8
Here n = 5, which is odd.
By formula,
Median =
From set of observations, we see that:
19 has the maximum frequency.
Hence, mean = 17.8, median = 19, mode = 19.
(ii) Arranging given observations in ascending order:
7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 11, 12
Sum of observations = 7 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 9 + 9 + 11 + 12 = 72
By formula,
Mean = = 9
Here n = 8, which is even.
By formula,
Median =
From set of observations, we see that :
8 has the maximum frequency.
Hence, mean = 9, median = 8.5, mode = 8.
(iii) Arranging given observations in ascending order:
0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5
Sum of observations = 0 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 24
By formula,
Mean = = 2.4
Here n = 10, which is even.
By formula,
Median =
From set of observations, we see that:
3 has the maximum frequency.
Hence, mean = 2.4, median = 2.5, mode = 3.
(iv) Arranging given observations in ascending order:
6, 6, 7, 8, 10, 10, 10, 11, 13
Sum of observations = 6 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 11 + 13 = 81
By formula,
Mean = = 9
Here n = 9, which is odd.
By formula,
Median =
From set of observations, we see that:
10 has the maximum frequency.
Hence, mean = 9, median = 10, mode = 10.
