Question
The traffic police recorded the speed (in kmlhr) of 10 motorists as 47, 53, 49, 60, 39, 42, 55,57, 52, 48. Later on an error in recording instrument was found. Find the correct overagespeed of the motorists if the instrument recorded 5 km/hr less in each case.
Solution
The speed of 10 motorists are 47, 53, 49, 60, 39, 42, 55, 57, 52, 48
Later on it was discovered that the instrument recorded 5km/hr less than in each case
Corrected values are 52, 58, 54, 65, 44, 47, 60, 62, 57, 53
∴ Correct mean = `(52 + 58 + 54 + 65 + 44 + 47 + 60 + 62 + 57 + 53)/ 10`
= `552 / 10`
= 55 . 2 km/ hr

A football player scored the following number of goals in the 10 matches:
1, 3, 2, 5, 8, 6, 1, 4, 7, 9
Since the number of matches is 10 (an even number), therefore, the median
= `(5^("th") "observation" + 6^("th") "observation")/2`
= `(8 + 6)/2` = 7
Is it the correct answer and why?
