1. A number of particular articles has been classified according to their weights.

After drying two weeks the same articles have again been weighted and similarly
classified. It is known that the median weight in the first weighing is 20.83 gm,
while in the second weighing it was 17.35 gm. Some frequencies 𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏 in the
first weighing and 𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 in the second are missing. It is known that 𝑎 =
𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏 = 𝑦. Find out the values of the missing frequencies.

2. A vehicle when climbing up a gradient, consumes petrol at the rate of 1 liter per 8
km. While coming down it gives 12 km per liter. Find its average consumption for
to and fro travel between two places situated at the two ends of a 25 km long
gradient?

3. (a) If there are two groups 20 men and 30 women and the mean heights of each group is
178 cm and 164 cm. What was the mean height for both groups put together?

(b) If a car is travelling with a mean speed of 33 Km/h, find the coefficient of variation if
the standard deviation of the car speed is 8.8 Km/h.

4. If the mode if the class is 16.43 find the missing value of a and b if a+b= 7
