13
Step 1
We know that George randomly withdrew a card from a deck of cards.
Total number of cards in the deck = 52 cards
Number of face cards in the deck of cards = 12 cards
Step 2
Number of face cards
Probability that the card is a face card =
Total number of cards
12
=
52
3
=
13
Step 3
3
Hence, the probability that the card is a face card is .
13
(2) 17
Step 1
If we look at the question carefully, we notice that the 9 consecutive integers starting from 13 = 13
, 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21
Sum of 9 consecutive integers = 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 18 + 19 + 20 + 21
= 153
Step 2
Sum of 9 consecutive integers
Average of 9 consecutive integers starting from 13 =
Total number of consecutive integers
153
=
9
= 17
Step 3
Hence, the average of 9 consecutive integers starting from 13 is 17 .

32
Step 1
If we look at the question carefully, we notice that the color of the eyes of the students are noted
as below:
Color of Eyes Number of Students
black 5
green 7
blue 10
brown 6
grey 4
Total number of students = 5 + 7 + 10 + 6 + 4 = 32

Number of students with brown eyes = 6
Probability that the color of the student's eyes chosen randomly is green =
Number of students with brown eyes
Total number of students
6
=
32
Step 2
6
Hence, the probability that the color of the student's eyes, chosen randomly, is green = .
32
(4) Pear
Step 1
Total number of fruits in the basket = 18
Number of pears in the basket = 7
Number of pomegranates in the basket = 5
Number of oranges in the basket = 6
Step 2
As, the number of pears is the maximum. Hence, pear is most likely to be picked from the basket.
(5) 108°
Step 1
We know that the sum of all the five internal angles of a pentagon must be 540°.
540
Thus, the mean of all the internal angles of a pentagon = = 108
5
Step 2
Hence, the mean of all the internal angles of a pentagon is 108°

If we look at the given table from top to bottom carefully, we notice that the marks obtained by 36
students in History are arranged in ascending order.
Step 2
Total number of students are 36 which is an even number.
n n
So, the median is equal to the average of ( ) th and ( +1) th student's marks in History, where
2 2
n is the number of students.
n 36
( ) th = ( ) th = 18 th
2 2
n 36
( +1) th = ( + 1)th = 19 th
2 2
If we count the number of students in the tally marks column of the table, we notice that the marks
obtained by 18th and 19th students in History are 5 and 5, respectively.
5+5
Median =

10
=
2
=5
Step 3
Hence, the median of the scores of 36 students in History is 5.
(7) 4
Step 1
According to the question,
85C - 340A = 387 -----(1),
425A + 85B = 633 -----(2)
Step 2
By adding equation (1) and (2), we get:
85C + 425A -340A + 85B = 1020
⇒ 85C + 85A + 85B = 1020
⇒ 85(C + A + B) = 1020
⇒ C + A + B = 1020/85
⇒ A + B + C = 12
Step 3
A+B+C
Now, the average of A, B, C =

(8) 61
Step 1
If we look at the question carefully, we notice that the given table shows the marks of 12 college
students in the Science exam.
Jeff 20 Kenneth 52
Nancy 96 John 70
William 95 Helen 92
Donald 36 George 40
Karen 36 Mark 81
Deborah 49 Barbara 65
Sum of the marks obtained by the college students = 732

Total number of students = 12
Step 2
Sum of the marks obtained by the college students
Average score of the class =
Total number of students
732
=
12
= 61
Step 3
Hence, the average score of the class is 61 .
(9) 8:03 AM
Step 1
Since all the times are in AM, we can just add the hours in minutes form and find out the average.
We take a time as the minutes past midnight.
So, 7:45 AM = 7 × 60 + 45 = 465
5:00 AM = 5 × 60 + 0 = 300
11:30 AM = 11 × 60 + 30 = 690
10:00 AM = 10 × 60 + 0 = 600
6:00 AM = 6 × 60 + 0 = 360
Step 2
To find the average:
465 + 300 + 690 + 600 + 360 2415
= = 483
5 5
Step 3
To convert it back to the hh:mm format we divide by 60. The quotient is the hours, and the
remainder is the minutes.
483
= 8R3
60
Average time of docking = 8:03 AM.
(10) 80
Step 1
Sum of the marks in all the subjects
We know that the average of marks in all the subjects = .
Total number of subjects
Sum of the marks in 6 subjects
The average of Jeff's marks in 6 subjects = = 85
6
⇒ Sum of the marks in 6 subjects = 6 × 85
= 510
Step 2
Since, Jeff got 50 marks in the 7 th subject, the average of Jeff's marks in 7 subjects =
Sum of the marks in 7 subjects
7
Sum of the marks in 6 subjects + Marks in the 7 th subject

=
7
510 + 50
=
7
560
=
7
= 80
Step 3
Therefore, Jeff's average in all the 7 subjects is 80.

Step 1
Let us assume that S, E and P are the sample space, event, and probability, respectively, of
getting the sum of the values obtained in the throws is 8 by tossing a dice twice.
S = { (1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),
(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),
(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),
(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),
(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),
(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6) }
E = {(2,6),(3,5),(4,4),(5,3),(6,2)}
Step 2
n(E)
P(E) =
n(S)
(Since, P(E) is the probability of getting an event E, n(E) is the number of elements in the event E,
and n(S) is the number of elements in the sample space S )

P(E) =
36
Step 3
Hence, the probability that the sum of the values obtained in the throws is 8 by tossing the dice

twice is

(12) 126.5
Step 1
According to the question, Barbara measures the height of 10 of her friends as follows (in
centimetres):
117, 113, 144, 137, 145, 113, 133, 105, 118 and 140
Sum of heights of Barbara's friends = 117 + 113 + 144 + 137 + 145 + 113 + 133 + 105 + 118 + 140
= 1265
Total number of Barbara's friends = 10
Step 2
Sum of the heights of her friends
Average height of Barbara's friends =
Total number of her friends
1265
=
10
= 126.5
Step 3
Hence, the average height of Barbara's friends is 126.5 .

Step 1
Let us assume S, E, and P are the Sample Space, Event and Probability of getting an even
number by throwing the dice, respectively.
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6}
E = {2, 4, 6}
Step 2
n(E)
P(E) =
n(S)
(Since, P(E) is the probability of getting an event E, n(E) is the number of elements in the event E
and n(S) is the number of elements in the sample space S )

P(E) =

Hence, the probability of getting an even number is .

12
Step 1
If we look at the table carefully, we notice that the total number of college students are 12, out of
which 5 students have more than 32 marks.
Step 2
Thus, the probability that the marks of the student chosen randomly are greater than 32 =
Number of college students who have more than 32 marks
Total number of college students

(15) a. even
Step 1
The average of any four consecutive odd integers is always even.
For example : 1, 3, 5, and 7 are four consecutive odd integers.
1+3+5+7
Average of 1, 3, 5, and 7 =
4
16
=
4
=4
, which is an even number.
Step 2
Therefore, we can say that the average of any four consecutive odd integers is always even.
