Question 10.
Five coins were simultaneously tossed 1000 times and at each toss, the number of heads was observed. The number of tosses during which 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 heads were obtained is shown in the table below. Find the mean number of heads per toss.

No. of heads per toss	No. of tosses
0	38
1	144
2	342
3	287
4	164
5	25
Total	1000

Solution:

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

X	5	10	15	20	25
f	7	k	8	4	5

Solution:
Mean=14

⇒ 14 (24 + k) = 360 + 10k
⇒ 336 + 14k = 360 + 10k
⇒ 14k- 10k- 360 -336 24
⇒ 4k = 24
⇒ k= 244 = 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)

X	5	15	25	35	45
f	3	k	3	6	2

Solution:
Mean =25

⇒ 25 (14 + k) = 390 + 15k
⇒ 350 + 25k= 390 + 15k
⇒ 25k- 15k = 390 -350
⇒ 10k = 40 ⇒ k = 4010 = 4
Hence k = 4

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

X	10	15	P	25	30
f	5	10	7	8	2

Solution:

⇒ 460 + 7p = 32 (18.75)
⇒ 460 + 7p = 600
⇒ 7p = 600 – 460 = 140
⇒ p = 1407 = 20
∴ p = 20

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

X	15	17	19	20 + p	23
f	2	3	4	5p	6

Solution:

⇒ 5p² + 100p + 295 = 20 (15 + 5p)
⇒ 5p² + 100p + 295 = 300 + 100p
⇒ 5p² + 100p – 100p = 300 – 295
⇒ 5p² = 5 ⇒ p² = 55 = 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.
