CBSE Class 10 Maths – MCQ and Online Tests – Unit 14 – Statistics
Question 1.
Cumulative frequency curve is also called
(a) histogram
(b) ogive
(c) bar graph
(d) median
Answer
Answer: (b) ogive
Question 2.
The relationship between mean, median and mode for a moderately skewed distribution is
(a) mode = median – 2 mean
(b) mode = 3 median – 2 mean
(c) mode = 2 median – 3 mean
(d) mode = median – mean
Answer
Answer: (b) mode = 3 median – 2 mean
Hint:
Mode = 3 median – 2 mean
Question 3.
The median of set of 9 distinct observations is 20.5. If each of the largest 4 observations of the set is increased by 2, then the median of the new set
(a) is increased by 2
(b) is decreased by 2
(c) is two times of the original number
(d) Remains the same as that of the original set.
Answer
Answer: (d) Remains the same as that of the original set.
Hint:
No. of observations = 9
∴ median = 5th observation
∵ The largest four observations are increased
∴ 5th observation remains unchanged.
Question 4.
Mode and mean of a data are 12k and 15A. Median of the data is
(a) 12k
(b) 14k
(c) 15k
(d) 16k
Answer
Answer: (b) 14k
Hint:
∵ Mode = 3 median – 2 mean
⇒ 12k = 3 median – 2 × 15k
⇒ 42k = 3 median
⇒ Median = 14k.
Question 5.
The times, in seconds, taken by 150 atheletes to run a 110 m hurdle race are tabulated below:
| Class | Frequency |
| 13.8 – 14.0 | 2 |
| 14.0 – 14.2 | 4 |
| 14.2 – 14.4 | 5 |
| 14.4 – 14.6 | 71 |
| 14.6 – 14.8 | 48 |
| 14.8 – 15.0 | 20 |
The number of atheletes who completed the race in less then 14.6 seconds is:
(a) 11
(b) 71
(c) 82
(d) 130
Answer
Answer: (c) 82
Question 6.
The abscissa of the point of intersection of the less than type and of the more than type cumulative frequency curves of a grouped data gives its
(a) mean
(b) median
(c) mode
(d) all the three above
Answer
Answer: (b) median
Question 7.
Mean of n numbers x1, x2, … xn is m. If xn is replaced by x, then new mean is
(a) m – xn + x
(b) \(\frac{nm-x_n+x}{n}\)
(c) \(\frac{(n-1)m+x}{n}\)
(d) \(\frac{m-x_n+x}{n}\)
Answer
Answer: (b) \(\frac{nm-x_n+x}{n}\)
Hint:
Question 8.
While computing mean of grouped data, we assume that the frequencies are [NCERT Exemplar Problems]
(a) evenly distributed over all the classes
(b) centred at the classmarks of the classes
(c) centred at the upper limits of the classes
(d) centred at the lower limits of the classes
Answer
Answer: (b) centred at the classmarks of the classes
Question 9.
Mean of 100 items is 49. It was discovered that three items which should have been 60, 70, 80 were wrongly read as 40, 20, 50 respectively. The correct mean is
(a) 48
(b) 49
(c) 50
(d) 60
Answer
Answer: (c) 50
Hint:
Sum of 100 observations
= 100 × 49 = 4900
Correct sum
= 4900 – [40 + 20 + 50 ] + [60 + 70 + 80] = 5000
∴ Correct mean = \(\frac{5000}{100}\) = 50.

| 14.2 – 14.4 | 6 |
| 14.4 – 14.6 | 69 |
| 14.6 – 14.8 | 48 |
| 14.8 – 15.0 | 20 |
