Five coins were simultaneously tossed 1000 times and at each toss the number of heads were observed. The number of tosses during which 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 heads were obtained are 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= $$\frac { 24 }{ 4 }$$ = 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 = $$\frac { 40 }{ 10 }$$ = 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 =  $$\frac { 140 }{ 7 }$$ = 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  =  $$\frac { 5 }{ 5 }$$  = 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.
