12, 6, 87, 9, 54, 23, 43, 19, 56, 34, 69, 74 
  1.    38.5
  2.    39.5
  3.    34 and 43
  4.    40.5

Answer: Option A. -> 38.5
:
A
When you arrange the datain ascending order, you get:
6 9 12 19 23 34 43 54 56 69 74 87
If number of observations is odd then median is the(n2)th term
Ifit is even then median is the mean of the (n2)th and(n2)+1) th term.
Here the numberof observations is 12 - even,
Therefore, the median will be an average of 6thand 7thobservation.
So, Median=34+432=772=38.5.
Question 12. You have to buy a pair of running shoes. You have 3 brands: Ruma, Peebok and Abibas. You go online and search for reviews of different brands. There you saw that on the basis of stars, brands are rated. More stars imply better rating. Which brand has the highest average rating?
You Have To Buy A Pair Of Running Shoes. You Have 3 Brands: ...
  1.    Ruma  
  2.    Peebok 
  3.    Abibas
  4.    Both Abibas and Ruma have the same rating.  
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Abibas
:
C
Average star rating = Total number of stars given by peopleTotal number of people who gave the rating.
For Ruma,average star rating = 180×5+104×4+95×3+12×2+11×1180+104+95+12+11 = 4.07
For Peebok,average star rating = 150×5+110×4+87×3+22×2+23×1150+110+87+22+23 = 3.87
For Abibas,average star rating = 234×5+98×4+88×3+16×2+18×1234+98+88+16+18 = 4.13
4.13> 4.07> 3.87
So,Abibas has the highest rating.
Question 13. If the X- axis represents various fruits purchased and the Y-axis represents sales(in kgs), then match the following.
 If The X- Axis Represents Various Fruits Purchased And The Y...
  1.    1-a , 2-b  , 3-d , 4-c , 5-e   
  2.    1-c  , 2-d , 3-b , 4-e , 5-a    
  3.    1-d , 2-c , 3-a , 4-b , 5-e   
  4.    1-b , 2-c , 3-e , 4-a , 5-d    
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1-c  , 2-d , 3-b , 4-e , 5-a    
:
B
As seen from the graph,
the quantity of apples sold = 5 kg,
the quantity of mangoessold= 15 kg,
the quantity of bananas sold = 20 kg,
the quantity of pineapples sold = 10 kg and
the quantity of papayas sold = 25 kg.
Thus, 1 - c,2 - d,3 - b,4 - e,5 - a is correct.
Question 14. There is a data set with 1000 observations. Out of these observations, the observation that occurs most frequently is 9, which occurs 13 times. After taking 20 more observations, it was observed that 13, which was not there in the observations before, occurred 19 out of 20 times and 9 occurred only 1 out of 20 times. What is the mode in these 1020 observations?
___
 Discuss Question

:
In the 1000 observations, 9 will be the mode.
In 1020 observations, frequency of 9 = 13 + 1 = 14
In 1020 observations, frequency of 13 = 19
So, mode of the observations = 13.
Question 15. Find the difference between the median and the mode of the following data set:
1          6          45        4          33        12        19        6          56        25        13        9
  1.    12.5
  2.    12
  3.    6.5
  4.    6

Answer: Option C. -> 6.5
:
C
Arranged data set is:
1 4 6 6 9 12 13 19 25 33 45 56
Median: The middle most value after arranging the given data.
Here, the number of observations is 12, which is an even number.So, we take the average of thetwo observations in the middle to find the value of median.
Median=12+132=12.5. (Mean of the 6th and7th observation)
Mode:Theobservation that occurs most often in the data set.
We can find 6 two times in the data set. This is the most repeated value in the data set. The value of the mode is 6.
i.e., Mode=6.
Difference betweenmedian and mode of the given data set=12.5-6=6.5.
Question 16. Median is defined as:
  1.    the data which is the largest in a data set.    
  2.    the data which lies in the middle of an organised data set.
  3.     same as mean.  
  4.    the observation that occurs most frequently.    
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> the data which lies in the middle of an organised data set.
:
B
Median is defined as the data which lies in the middle of an organised data set. Median refers to the value which lies in the middle of the data (when arranged in an increasing or decreasing order) with half of the observations above it and the other half below it.
Question 17. There are 50 students in a class and the average mark scored by the class in Maths is 65 out of 100. The total marks scored by all the students except Karan and Arjun is 3080. If the marks scored by Karan & Arjun are same. What is the mark scored by Arjun?
  1.    75
  2.    80
  3.    85
  4.    90
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 85
:
C
Average =Total marksTotal number of student
65=3080+Marks scoredbyArjun+Marksscored by Karan50.
Since marks scored by Arjun =Marks scored by Karan
Marks scored by Arjun +Marks scored by Karan =2 × Marks scored by Arjun.
So, 65 × 50 = 3080 + 2 × Marks scored by Arjun.
So, marks scored by Arjun =325030802=1702=85 marks.
Question 18. Which of the following is always equal to one of the observations in the data set?
  1.    Median
  2.    Mode   
  3.    Both median & mode
  4.    Mean 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Mode   
:
B
Mean and Range may or may not be equal to any of the observations from the data set. Median is one of the observations if the number of observations is odd. If it's even, median also won't be equal to one of the observations. But mode is always equal to one of the observations.
Question 19. Given below is the table of the marks of 10 students. For getting promoted to section A, a student has to score more marks than the average. Can you tell me from the given options, which student will not be promoted to Section A?​
NameMarksNameMarksPavani79Ajit77Goutham81Kushagra73Deepthi68Manish94Pavan85Satyam81Akash62Sarosh80
  1.    Pavani
  2.    Sarosh 
  3.    Deepthi
  4.    Goutham 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Deepthi
:
C
We know that,
Average=SumofallobservationsTotalnumberofobservations​​
Average marks=79+81+68+85+62+77+73+94+81+8010=78010=78.
Students who scored less marks than the average, won't be promoted to section A. So, from the given options, only Deepthi has lesser marks than 78.

(i) Jammu has the largest difference in temperature i.e., Maximum temperature = 41Cand Minimum temperature = 26C
Difference = 41C26C=15C
(ii) Jammu is the hottest city as the maximum temperature is the highest among all the given cities and Bangalore is the coldest city because theminimum temperature there is lowest among all the given cities.
(iii) Maximum temperature of Bangalore = 28C
Minimum temperature of two cities whose minimum temperature is higher than the maximum temperature of Bangalore are Ahmedabad and Jaipur = 29C
