Question 13.
Find the median of the data using an empirical formula, when it is given that mode = 35.3 and mean = 30.5. (2014)
Solution:
Mode = 3(Median) – 2(Mean)
35.3 = 3(Median) – 2(30.5)

S2 : 7, 4, 7, 8, 7, 8, 13
Solution:
In S1 : Number 9 occurs 3 times (maximum)
∴ Mode of S1 Series = 9
In S2 : Number 7 occurs 3 times (maximum)
∴ Mode of S, Series = 7
After combination:
In S1 & S2 : No. 8 occurs 4 times (maximum)
∴ Mode of S1 & S2 taken combined = 8

Question 31.
The mean of the following frequency distribu tion is 53. But the frequencies f1 and f2 in the classes 20-40 and 60-80 are missing. Find the missing frequencies: (2013)
Important Questions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 14 Statistics 58
Solution:
Important Questions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 14 Statistics 59
⇒ 2730 + 30f1 + 70f2 = 5300
⇒ 30f1 + 70f2 = 5300 – 2730 = 2570
⇒ 3f1 + 7f2 = 257 …[Dividing by 10
⇒ 3f1 +7(47 – f1) = 257 . [From (i)
⇒ 3f1 + 329 – 7f1 = 257
⇒ -4f1 = 257 – 329 = -72
⇒ f1 = \(\frac{-72}{-4}\) = 18
Putting the value of f1 in (i), we get
f2 = 47 – f1
⇒ f2 = 47 – 18 = 29
∴ f1 = 18, f2 = 29

Question 32.
The mean of the following frequency distribution is 62.8 and the sum of frequencies is 50. Find the missing frequencies f1 and f2: (2013)
Important Questions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 14 Statistics 60
Solution:
Important Questions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 14 Statistics 61
⇒ 2060 + 30f1 + 70f2 = 3140
⇒ 30f1 + 70f2 = 3140 – 2060 = 1080
⇒ 3f1 + 7f2 = 108 …[Dividing by 10
⇒ 3f1 + 7(20 – f1) = 108 … [From (i)
⇒ 3f1 + 140 – 7f1 = 108
⇒ -4f1 = 108 – 140 = -32 .
∴ f1 = 8
Putting the value of f1 into (i), we get
f2 = 20 – 8 = 12
∴ f2 = 12

Solution:
Important Questions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 14 Statistics 63
⇒ 1978 + 66.5x + 84.5y = 2280
⇒ 1978 + 66.5x + 84.5(4 – x) = 2280 … [From (i)
⇒ 1978 + 66.5x + 338 – 84.5x = 2280
⇒ 1978 + 338 – 2280 = 84.5x – 66.5x
⇒ 36 = 18x ⇒ x = 2
From (i), y = 4 – x = 4 – 2 = 2 ∴ x = 2, y = 2

⇒ 18 – x = (9 – x)10
⇒ 18 – x = 90 – 10x
⇒ -x + 10x = 90 – 18
⇒ 9x = 72
⇒ x = 8
Putting the value of x in (i), we have
y = 18 – 8 = 10
∴ x = 8, y = 10
