Card 1Mean of raw data

Find the mean of the raw data: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15.

Answer

Step 1: Add the observations: 3 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 15 = 45 Step 2: Count the observations: n = 5 Step 3: Use mean = sum / count = 45 / 5 = 9 Answer: 9

Card 2Mean of raw data

Find the mean of these marks: 36, 45, 52, 28, 63, 71, 43, 38, 56, 48.

Answer

Step 1: Add all values: 36 + 45 + 52 + 28 + 63 + 71 + 43 + 38 + 56 + 48 = 480 Step 2: Count the values: n = 10 Step 3: Mean = 480 / 10 = 48 Answer: 48

Card 3Mean of raw data

The mean of 8 observations is 25. One observation 20 is excluded. Find the new mean.

Answer

Step 1: Find total of 8 observations = 25 × 8 = 200 Step 2: Remove 20: 200 - 20 = 180 Step 3: Remaining observations = 7 Step 4: New mean = 180 / 7 ≈ 25.71 Answer: Approximately 25.71

Card 4Combined mean

The mean weight of 10 boys is 60 kg and the mean weight of 15 girls is 50 kg. Find the combined mean weight.

Answer

Step 1: Total weight of boys = 60 × 10 = 600 kg Step 2: Total weight of girls = 50 × 15 = 750 kg Step 3: Total weight = 600 + 750 = 1350 kg Step 4: Total students = 10 + 15 = 25 Step 5: Combined mean

Card 5Mean of raw data

If the mean of 6 observations is 8 and the mean becomes 9 after adding one more observation, find the added value.

Answer

Step 1: Sum of 6 observations = 8 × 6 = 48 Step 2: Sum of 7 observations = 9 × 7 = 63 Step 3: Added observation = 63 - 48 = 15 Answer: 15

Card 6Effect on mean

The mean of 5 observations is 7. Each observation is multiplied by 3 and then 2 is subtracted. Find the new mean.

Answer

Step 1: Original mean = 7 Step 2: Multiply mean by 3: 3 × 7 = 21 Step 3: Subtract 2: 21 - 2 = 19 Answer: 19

Card 7Mean formula

What is the formula for the mean of raw data? Solve using 2, 4, 6, 8 as a quick check.

Answer

Formula: x̄ = (x1 + x2 + ... + xn) / n Here, x1, x2, ... are observations and n is the number of observations. Quick check: (2 + 4 + 6 + 8) / 4 = 20 / 4 = 5 Answer: Mean = 5

Card 8Mean of ungrouped data

Find the mean of the discrete frequency data: x = 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and f = 4, 6, 10, 7, 3.

Answer

Step 1: Multiply each value by its frequency: 10×4 = 40 20×6 = 120 30×10 = 300 40×7 = 280 50×3 = 150 Step 2: Add f x = 40 + 120 + 300 + 280 + 150 = 890 Step 3: Add frequencies N = 4 + 6 + 10 + 7 + 3 =
