(b) In a class test, the mean of marks scored by a class of 40 students was calculated as 18.2.
Later on, it was detected that marks of one student was wrongly copied as 21 instead of 29.
Find the correct mean.
2. Find the mean of 25 given numbers when the mean of 10 of them is 13 and the mean of the
remaining numbers is 18.

nearest gram, by step deviation method
No. Of apples 5 8 10 12 8 4 3

a. Find the median of the following set of numbers : 9, 0, 2, 8, 5, 3, 5, 4, 1, 5, 2, 7
b. For the following set of numbers, nd the median: 10, 75, 3, 81, 17, 27, 4, 48, 12, 47, 9, 15.
5. The median of the observations 11, 12, 14, (x – 2), (x + 4), (x + 9), 32, 38, 47 arranged in
ascending order is 24. Find the value of x and hence nd the mean.
