The correct Answer is:
Let's solve the question step by step. ### Step 1: Finding the new mean after subtracting 5 from each number. Given that the mean of five numbers is 20, we can calculate the total sum of these numbers. 1. **Calculate the total sum**: \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Total Sum}}{\text{Number of Observations}} \] \[ 20 = \frac{\text{Total Sum}}{5} \implies \text{Total Sum} = 20 \times 5 = 100 \] 2. **Subtract 5 from each number**: If we subtract 5 from each of the 5 numbers, the total amount subtracted is: \[ 5 \times 5 = 25 \] 3. **Calculate the new total sum**: \[ \text{New Total Sum} = 100 - 25 = 75 \] 4. **Calculate the new mean**: \[ \text{New Mean} = \frac{\text{New Total Sum}}{\text{Number of Observations}} = \frac{75}{5} = 15 \] So, the value of \( ulP \) is **15**. ### Step 2: Finding the median of the given data. The data provided is: 32, 44, 53, 47, 37, 54, 34, 36, 40, 50. 1. **Arrange the data in ascending order**: \[ 32, 34, 36, 37, 40, 44, 47, 50, 53, 54 \] 2. **Count the number of observations**: There are 10 observations (even number). 3. **Calculate the median**: For an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle numbers. The two middle numbers are the 5th and 6th numbers: \[ \text{5th number} = 40, \quad \text{6th number} = 44 \] \[ \text{Median} = \frac{40 + 44}{2} = \frac{84}{2} = 42 \] So, the value of \( ulQ \) is **42**. ### Step 3: Finding the mode of the given data. The data provided is: 15, 17, 15, 19, 14, 18, 15, 14, 16, 15, 14, 20, 19, 14, 15. 1. **Count the frequency of each number**: - 14 appears 4 times - 15 appears 5 times - 16 appears 1 time - 17 appears 1 time - 18 appears 1 time - 19 appears 2 times - 20 appears 1 time 2. **Identify the mode**: The mode is the number that appears most frequently. Here, 15 appears 5 times, which is more than any other number. So, the value of \( ulR \) is **15**. ### Final Answers: - \( ulP = 15 \) - \( ulQ = 42 \) - \( ulR = 15 \)
