Statistics Class 9 Kerala Syllabus Question 1.
The weight of 6 players in a volleyball team are all different and the average weight is 60 kilograms.
i. Prove that the team has at least one player weighing more than 60 kilograms.
ii. Prove that the team has at least one player weighing less than 60 kilograms.
Answer:
i. Total weight of 6 players = 60 × 6 = 360 kg
The team contains players having weights 60, less than 60 or greater than 60. If the weights of all the players are less than 60, the average will also be less than 60. This is not possible. Therefore there will be at least one player having weight greater than 60.
ii. If the weight of all the players are greater than 60, the average will also be greater than 60. Therefore there will be at least one player having weight less than 60.

The mean weight is calculated as 26 kilograms. How many children have weights between 23 and 25 kilograms?
Answer:
Let’s prepare the table for finding the mean by considering the number of children in the group 23 to 25, as ‘x’.
| Weight (kg) | No.of children | Mid value | Total weight |
| 21 – 23 | 4 | 22 | 22 × 4 = 88 |
| 23 – 25 | X | 24 | 24 × x = 24x |
| 25 – 27 | 7 | 26 | 26 × 7 = 182 |
| 27 – 29 | 6 | 28 | 28 × 6 = 168 |
| 29 – 31 | 3 | 30 | 30 × 3 = 90 |
| 31 – 33 | 1 | 32 | 32 × 1 = 32 |
| Total | 21 + x | 560 + 24x |
Mean weight = 26 kg
i.e; the number of children having weight between 23 to 25 is 7.
