NCERT Solutions for Class 7 maths chapter 3 Exercise 3.1

Question 1

Find the range of heights of any ten students of your class.

Answer

Heights of 10 students of our class.

= 125, 130, 134, 137, 138, 139, 140, 143, 147, 150

We know
Range = Highest value – Lowest value

The highest value = 150cm

The lowest value = 125 cm

Then,

Range of Heights = Highest value – Lowest value

= 150 – 125

= 25 cm

Question 2

Organise the following marks in a class assessment, in a tabular form.

4, 6, 7, 5, 3, 5, 4, 5, 2, 6, 2, 5, 1, 9, 6, 5, 8, 4, 6, 7

(i) Which number is the highest? (ii) Which number is the lowest?

(iii) What is the range of the data? (iv) Find the arithmetic mean.

Answer

On Arranging in ascending order.

= 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9

Now, we will draw the frequency table of the given data.

< img class="mathsPageImg" src="/Pathanto/image/cl7-3-9.jpg" >

(i) From table the highest number is 9.

(ii)From table the lowest number is 1.

(iii) We know that
Range = Highest value – Lowest value

= 9 – 1 = 8

iv)Mean =
(Sum of all observations) / (Total number of observation)

Then,

Sum of all observation = 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 7 + 7

+ 8 + 9 = 100

Total Number of Observation = 20

Mean =
100 / 20

= 5

Question 3
Find the mean of the first five whole numbers.

Answer

The first five Whole numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Mean =
(Sum of all observations) / (Total number of observation)

Then,

Sum of the numbers = 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 +4 = 10

Total Number = 5

Mean =
10 / 5
= 2

Question 4
A cricketer scores the following runs in eight innings:

58, 76, 40, 35, 46, 45, 0, 100. Find the mean score.

Answer
(Sum of all scores) / (Total number of innings)

Total runs scored by the cricketer = 58 + 76 + 40 + 35 + 46 + 45 + 0 + 100 = 400

Total number of innings = 8

Then,

Mean =
400 / 8
= 50

Question 5
Following table shows the points of each player scored in four games:

Player Game

1

Game

2

Game

3

Game

4

A 14 16 10 10
B 0 8 6 4
C 8 11 Did not Play 13

Now answer the following questions:

(i) Find the mean to determine A’s average number of points scored per game.

(ii) To find the mean number of points per game for C, would you divide the total points by 3 or by 4? Why?

(iii) B played in all the four games. How would you find the mean?

(iv) Who is the best performer?

Answer
(i) Mean of player A in all game =
Total points scored by A in 4 games / Total number of games
=
(14 + 16 + 10 + 10) / 4
50 / 4
= 12.5

(ii) To find the mean number for player C, we will divide the total points by 3. Because C played only 3 games.

(iii)We will divide the total points by 4 to find out the mean of B played

Then,

Mean of player B =
Total points scored by B in 4 games / Total number of games
=
(0 + 8 + 6 + 4) / 4
=
18 / 4
= 4.5

(vi) Mean of player C =

Total points scored by C in 3 games / Total number of games
=
(8 + 11 + 13) / 3
=
32 / 3
= 10.67

As we saw average points scored A more than B and C.

So A is the best performer among three.

Question 6
The marks (out of 100) obtained by a group of students in a science test are
85, 76 90, 85, 39, 48, 56, 95, 81 and 75.
Find the:

(i) Highest and the lowest marks obtained by the students.

(ii) Range of the marks obtained

(iii) Mean marks obtained by the group.

Answer

Arrange in ascending order,

= 39, 48, 56, 75, 76, 81, 85, 85, 90, 95

(i) The highest marks obtained by the student = 95

The lowest marks obtained by the student = 39

(ii) Range = Highest marks – Lowest marks

= 95 – 39 = 56

(iii) Mean of Marks =
Sum of all marks of students / Total number of students
=
39 + 48 + 56 + 75 + 76 + 81 + 85 + 85 + 90 + 95 / 10
=
730 / 10
= 73

Question 7
The enrolment in a school during six consecutive years was as follows:

1555, 1670, 1750, 2013, 2540, 2820.

Find the mean enrolment of the school for this period.

Answer
Mean =
Sum of all observations / Number of observations

(1555 + 1670 + 1750 + 2013 + 2540 + 2820) / 6
=
12348 / 6
= 2058

Question 8
The rainfall (in mm) in a city on 7 days of a certain week was recorded as follows:

Day Mon Tue Wed Thurs Fri Sat Sun
Rainfall

(in mm)

0.0 12.2 2.1 0.0 20.5 5.5 1.0

(i) Find the range of the rainfall in the above data.

(ii) Find the mean rainfall for the week.

(iii) On how many days was the rainfall less than the mean rainfall.

Answer

(i) Range = Highest rainfall – Lowest rainfall

= 20.5 – 0.0= 20.5 mm

(ii) Mean of rainfall =
Sum of all observations / Number of observation

=
0.0 + 12.2 + 2.1 + 0.0 + 20.5 + 5.5 + 1.0 / 7

=
41.3 / 7
= 5.9 mm

(iii) Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday the rainfall was less than the average rainfall.

Question 9
The heights of 10 girls were measured in cm and the results are as follows:

135, 150, 139, 128, 151, 132, 146, 149, 143, 141.

(i) What is the height of the tallest girl? (ii) What is the height of the shortest girl?

(iii) What is the range of the data? (iv) What is the mean height of the girls?

(v) How many girls have heights more than the mean height.

Answer

On Arranging in ascending order,

128, 132, 135, 139, 141, 143, 146, 149, 150, 151

(i) The height of the tallest girl is 151 cm

(ii) The height of the shortest girl is 128 cm

(iii) Range = Tallest height – Shortest height

= 151 – 128 = 23 cm

(iv) Mean height of the girls =
Sum of height of all the girls / Number of girls

128 + 132 + 135 + 139 + 141 + 143 + 146 + 149 + 150 + 151 / 10

1414 / 10
= 141.4 cm

(v) There 5 girls who's heights more than the 141.4 cm
