Class 10 Maths – Statistics MCQ

1. The mean of the first n natural numbers is:

a) n/2
b) (n+1)/2
c) n
d) (n-1)/2

Answer:

b) (n+1)/2

Explanation:

The sum of the first n natural numbers is n(n+1)/2. So, the mean = [n(n+1)/2] / n = (n+1)/2.

2. The median of the data: 6, 8, 9, 12, 15 is:

a) 6
b) 8
c) 9
d) 12

Answer:

c) 9

Explanation:

When data is arranged in ascending or descending order, the median is the middle number.

3. The mode of the data: 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7 is:

a) 5
b) 6
c) 7
d) No mode

Answer:

b) 6

Explanation:

The mode is the number that appears most frequently. Here, 6 appears three times, which is the highest frequency.

4. The range of the data: 2, 5, 8, 12, 15 is:

a) 15
b) 13
c) 10
d) 3

Answer:

b) 13

Explanation:

Range = Highest value – Lowest value = 15 – 2 = 13.

5. The mean of the data: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 is:

a) 5
b) 6
c) 7
d) 5.5

Answer:

b) 6

Explanation:

Mean = (4+5+6+7+8)/5 = 30/5 = 6.

6. For grouped data, the formula to find the mean is:

a) Σfi / N
b) Σxi / N
c) Σxi / Σfi
d) Σfi.xi / Σfi

Answer:

d) Σfi.xi / Σfi

Explanation:

For grouped data, the mean is found using the formula: Mean = Σfi.xi / Σfi, where fi is the frequency and xi is the class mark.

7. The mode for the data which doesn't have any number repeating more than once is called:

a) No mode
b) Bi-modal
c) Multi-modal
d) Uni-modal

Answer:

a) No mode

Explanation:

If no number repeats more than once, the data set doesn't have a mode.

8. The value of median in the data set: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 is:

a) 6
b) 8
c) 10
d) 12

Answer:

b) 8

Explanation:

In an odd number of ordered data, the median is the middle number.

9. The value below which 50% of data falls is called:

a) Mean
b) Mode
c) Median
d) Range

Answer:

c) Median

Explanation:

By definition, the median divides data into two equal parts.

10. The sum of the deviation of all observations from their mean is:

a) 0
b) 1
c) Mean of the data
d) None of these

Answer:

a) 0

Explanation:

The sum of the deviation of all the observations from their mean is always zero because of the properties of mean.
