(iii) Array: When the raw data is obtained in ascending or descending order of magnitude, it is known as array.

(iv) Tabulation of data: Arranging the data in a systematic way in the form of a table is known as the tabulation of the data.

(v) Observations: Each numerical figure in a data is known as an observation.

(vi) Frequency of an observation: Number of times an observation occurs in the data is known as the frequency of an observation.

(vii) Statistics: The subject that deals with the collection, presentation, analysis and interpretation of the numerical data is known as statistics.

Question 6:

Find the mean of first five natural numbers.

Answer 6:

First five natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Mean of the first five natural numbers =Sum of the given observationsNumber of given observations 

         =1+2+3+4+55=155=3
Hence, mean of the first five natural numbers is 3.

Question 7:

Find the mean of first six odd natural numbers.

Answer 7:

First six odd natural numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11.

Mean of the first six natural numbers = Sum of the given observations Number of the given observations 

                                                = 1+3+5+7+9+116=366=6

Mean of the first six odd natural numbers is 6.

Question 8:

Find the mean of first seven even natural numbers.

Answer 8:

First seven even natural numbers are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14.

Mean of the first seven even natural numbers =Sum of the given observations Number of the given observations 

                                                              =2+4+6+8+10+12+147=567=8

Mean of the first seven even natural numbers is 8.

Question 9:

Find the mean of first five prime numbers.

Answer 9:

First five prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11.

Mean of the first five prime numbers =Sum of the given observations Number of the given observations 

                                                       =2+3+5+7+115=285=5.6
Mean of the first five prime numbers is 5.6.

Question 10:

Find the mean of first six multiples of 5.

Answer 10:

First six multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30.

Mean of the first six multiples of 5 =Sum of the given observations Number of the given observations 

                                                   5+10+15+20+25+306=1056=17.5

Question 11:

The following table shows the weights (in kg) of 15 workers in a factory:
