Question 11.
The arithmetic mean of the following data is 14, find the value of k. (C.B.S.E. 2002C)

X510152025
f7k845

Solution:
Mean=14
RD Sharma Class 10 Solutions Chapter 15 Statistics Ex 15.1 11

⇒ 14 (24 + k) = 360 + 10k
⇒ 336 + 14k = 360 + 10k
⇒ 14k- 10k- 360 -336 24
⇒ 4k = 24
⇒ k= \(\frac { 24 }{ 4 }\) = 6 4
Hence k = 6

Question 12.
The arithmetic mean of the following data is 25, find the value of k. (C.B.S.E. 2001)

X515253545
f3k362

Solution:
Mean =25
RD Sharma Class 10 Solutions Chapter 15 Statistics Ex 15.1 12
⇒ 25 (14 + k) = 390 + 15k
⇒ 350 + 25k= 390 + 15k
⇒ 25k- 15k = 390 -350
⇒ 10k = 40 ⇒ k = \(\frac { 40 }{ 10 }\) = 4
Hence k = 4

Question 13.
If the mean of the following data is 18.75. Find the value of p.

X

1015P2530
f510782

Solution:
RD Sharma Class 10 Solutions Chapter 15 Statistics Ex 15.1 13
⇒ 460 + 7p = 32 (18.75)
⇒ 460 + 7p = 600
⇒ 7p = 600 – 460 = 140
⇒ p =  \(\frac { 140 }{ 7 }\) = 20
∴ p = 20

Question 14.
Find the value of p, if the mean of the following distribution is 20.

X15171920 + p23
f2345p6

Solution:
RD Sharma Class 10 Solutions Chapter 15 Statistics Ex 15.1 14
⇒ 5p2 + 100p + 295 = 20 (15 + 5p)
⇒ 5p2 + 100p + 295 = 300 + 100p
⇒ 5p2 + 100p – 100p = 300 – 295
⇒  5p2 = 5 ⇒  p2  =  \(\frac { 5 }{ 5 }\)  = 1
⇒ P= ±1
P = -1 i s not possible
∴ p= 1

Question 15.
Find the missing frequencies in the following frequency distribution if it is known that the mean of the distribution is 50.
