Why there is lack of atmosphere on the surface of moon? |
|
Answer» Our Moon doesn't have an atmosphere because it is too small and doesn't have a strong magnetic field. Any atmosphere it might have had would be stripped away by the solar wind that barrages the small world. In contrast, our planet has more mass to hold its atmosphere close, and a strong magnetic field to protect it. |

The runs scored in a cricket match by 11 players are as follows:16, 9, 15, 18, 50, 100, 102, 14, 20, 80, 5. Let x, y, and z be the range, mean and median respectively of this data. If x = y + z + p, then the value of p is1. 422. 433. 584. 40 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 40 Given: The runs scored in a cricket match by 11 players as follows 16, 9, 15, 18, 50, 100, 102, 14, 20, 80, 5 Mean of data = y Range of data = x Median of data = z Concept used: The range is the spread of your data from the lowest to the highest value in the distribution. The range is calculated by subtracting the lowest value from the highest value. The mean is the same as the average value of a data set and is found using a calculation. Add up all of the numbers and divide by the number of numbers in the data set. The median is the middle number in a data set when the numbers are listed in either ascending or descending order. Calculations: Mean y = (16 + 9 + 15 + 18 + 50 + 100 + 102 + 14 + 20 + 80 + 5)/ 11 ⇒ 429/11 = 39 The highest value in the given data = 102 The lowest value in the given data = 5 Range x = 102 - 5 ⇒ 97 Now arrange the data in ascending order: 5, 9, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 50, 80, 100, 102 ⇒ Median = middle value = 18 (Since total numbers are odd) x = y + z + p ⇒ 97 = 39 + 18 + p ⇒ p = 97 - 39 - 18 ⇒ p = 40 ∴ Th required value of p is 40 |

Find the missing value of p for the distribution whose mean value is 14?X589p1215f810127561. 402. 423. 484. 52 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 42 Given: Mean of the given data is 14 and data along with the frequency is given Formula Used: Direct formula for mean \(= {\rm{}}\sum {{\rm{f}}_{\rm{i}}}{{\rm{x}}_{\rm{i}}}/\sum {{\rm{f}}_{\rm{i}}}\) Calculation: Here we need to calculate the value of \({f_i}{x_i}\) and \({f_i}\) and the missing value be p
Now, Put these value in the given formula ∴ 14 = (378 + 7p)/48 ⇒ 672 = 378 + 7p ⇒ p = 42 Hence, option (2) is correct |

Find the median for the following frequency distribution?X1357911131517f812711109151161. 72. 93. 114. 13 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 9 Given: Following observation table is given along with frequency Formula Used: To calculate median we always need to calculate the cumulative frequency so when discrete data is given then we find the cumulative frequency just greater than (N/2) Where, N = ∑f Calculation: To calculate the median we have to calculate cumulative frequency first
∴ N/2 = 89/2 = 44.5 So, 44.5 lie in 45 and the value of x corresponding to 48 is 9 ∴ Median is 9 Hence, option (2) is correct |

Find out the median of values of this set 11.1, 12.1, 11.5, 11.9 and 12.31. 11.12. 11.53. 11.94. 12.1 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 11.9 Given: Values of set 11.1, 12.1, 11.5, 11.9 and 12.3 Concept used: Median = middle value of the set Calculations: Arrange the values of set in ascending order Arranged set = 11.1 11.5 11.9 12.1 12.3 Median = 11.9 (middle value of the set) ∴ Median of this set is 11.9 |

Find out the median of this data 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 20, 12, 23 and 11 .1. 12. 53. 94. 11 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 9 Concept used : The median is the middle number in a data set when the numbers are listed in either ascending or descending order. If total number of observation (n) is odd then, Median = (n + 1)th/2 observation If total number of observation (n) is even then, Median = [(n/2)th + (n/2 + 1)th]/2 observation Calculations : Arrange this data in ascending order Arranged data = 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 20, 23 n = 9 which is odd Median = (9 + 1)/2 = 5th observation 5th observation of the data is 9 ∴ Median = 9 (middle value of the set) ∴ Median of this set is 9

|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 70 Given : There are total 5 boys Their heights are 70, 73, 74, 67 and 65 cm Concept used : Median = Middle value of the set Calculations : Arranging the heights in ascending order Arranged set = 65, 67, 70, 73 and 74 Median = 70 (middle value of the set) ∴ Median of the set is 70 cm |

Two vehicles, each moving with speed `u` on the same horizontal straight road, are approaching each other. Wind blows along the road with velocity `w`. One of these vehicles blows a whistle of frequency `f_(1)`. An observer in the other vehicle hears the frequency of the whistle to be `f_(2)`. the speed of sound in still air is `V_C`. The correct statement `(s)` is (are)A. If the wind blows from the source to the observer, `f_2 gt f_1`B. If the wind blows from the observer to the source, `f_2 gt f_1`C. If the wind blows from observer to the source, `f_2 lt f_1`D. If the wind blows from the source to the observer, `f_2 lt f_1` |
