NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.4

Ex 14.4 Class 9 Maths Question 1.
The following number of goals were scored by a team in a series of 10 matches
2, 3, 4, 5, 0, 1, 3, 3, 4, 3.
Find the mean, median and mode of these scores.
Solution:
To find the mean :
Here, n = 10
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.4 A1
Thus, mean = 2.8

To find median:
Now arranging the given data in ascending order,
we have 0,1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5
∵ n = 10, an even number
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.4 A1A
Thus, median = 3

To find mode:
In the given data, the observation 3 occurs 4 times,
i.e., maximum number of times.
Thus, mode = 3

Ex 14.4 Class 9 Maths Question 2.
In a mathematics test given to 15 students, the following marks (out of 100) are recorded
41, 39, 48, 52, 46, 62, 54, 40, 96, 52, 98, 40, 42, 52, 60
Find the mean, median and mode of this data.
Solution:
To find the mean:
Here, n = 15
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.4 A2
Thus, mean = 54.8

To find median:
Arranging the given data in ascending order,
we have
39, 40, 40, 41, 42, 46, 48, 52, 52, 52, 54, 60, 62, 96,98
∵ n = 15, an odd number
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.4 A2A
Thus, median = 52

To find mode:
In the given data, the observation 52 occurs 3 times,
i.e., the maximum number of times.
Thus, mode = 52

Ex 14.4 Class 9 Maths Question 3.
The following observations have been arranged in ascending order. If the median of the data is 63, find the value of x.
29, 32, 48, 50, x, x + 2, 72, 78, 84, 95
Solution:
Here, the given observations are in ascending order.
Since, n = 10 (an even number)
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.4 A3
Since, median = 63 [Given]
∵ x + 1 = 63 ⇒ x = 63 – 1 = 62
Thus, the required value of x is 62.

Ex 14.4 Class 9 Maths Question 4.
Find the mode of 14, 25,14, 28,18,17,18,14, 23, 22,14 and 18.
Solution:
Arranging the given data in ascending order, we have 14, 14, 14, 14, 17, 18, 18, 18, 22, 23 25, 28.
Since the observation 14 is occuring the maximum number of times (i.e. 4 times)
∴ Mode of the given data = 14
