EXERCISE 22.3
2. The marks scored by 10 students in a Mathematics test are as follows. 34, 37,
30, 38, 50, 34, 38, 34, 36, 45
Find the value of: (a) arithmetic mean (b) median
Solution: Given marks: 34, 37, 30, 38, 50, 34, 38, 34, 36, 45
(a) Arithmetic mean =
= = = 37.6
Arithmetic Mean = 37.6 marks
(b) Median
To find the median, we first need to arrange the marks in ascending order: 30, 34,
34, 34, 36, 37, 38, 38, 45, 50
Since there are 10 students (an even number), the median is the average of the 5th
and 6th values.
5th value: 36
6th value: 37
Median = = = 36.5 marks
3. The weight (in kg) of ten students of a class are: 39, 42, 33, 45, 49, 40, 37, 44,
39, 44
Find the median weight.
Solution: Given weights: 39, 42, 33, 45, 49, 40, 37, 44, 39, 44
To find the median, we first arrange the weights in ascending order: 33, 37, 39, 39,
40, 42, 44, 44, 45, 49
Since there are 10 students (an even number), the median is the average of the 5th
and 6th values.
5th value: 40
6th value: 42
Median = = = 41
The weight of ten students = 41kg
4. The time (in minutes) Sameer took to solve different Maths test papers are given
below. 10, 25, 31, 19, 13, 26, 19, 26, 26, 20
Arrange the given data in ascending order and answer the following questions.
(a) What is the least and greatest time that Sameer took to solve a test paper?
(b) What is the mean and median of the data?
Solution: Given times: 10, 25, 31, 19, 13, 26, 19, 26, 26, 20
Arranging these times in ascending order = 10, 13, 19, 19, 20, 25, 26, 26, 26, 31
(a) Least and Greatest time that Sameer took to solve a test paper
Least time: 10 minutes
Greatest time: 31 minutes
(b) Mean and Median of the Data
Mean =
= = = 21.5 mins
Mean = 21.5 minutes
Median To find the median, we first need to find the middle value(s) in the ordered
list: 10, 13, 19, 19, 20, 25, 26, 26, 26, 31
Since there are 10 values (an even number), the median is the average of the 5th
and 6th values.
5th value: 20
6th value: 25
Median = = = 22.5
Median = 22.5 minutes.
