25∑xi=40 and 25∑xi−60+N=39
Let age of newly appointed teacher is N
⇒1000−60+N=975
⇒N=35 year
JEE Main 2021 — Mathematics Probability & Statistics
The mean age of 25 teachers in a school is 40 years. A teacher retires at the age of 60 years and a new teacher is appointed in his place. If the mean age of the teachers in this school now is 39 years, then the age (in years) of the newly appointed teacher is

If a random variable $x$ has the probability distribution $\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline x & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 \\ \hline P(x) & 0 & 2k & k & 3k & 2k^{2} & 2k & k^{2}+k & 7k^{2} \\ \hline \end{array}$ then $P(3 < x \leq 6)$ is equal to
If the mean of the data <table class="pyq-table"><tbody><tr><th>Class</th><th>$5-10$</th><th>$10-15$</th><th>$15-20$</th><th>$20-25$</th><th>$25-30$</th><th>$30-35$</th></tr><tr><td>Frequency</td><td>$2$</td><td>$k$</td><td>$28$</td><td>$54$</td><td>$k+1$</td><td>$5$</td></tr></tbody></table> is $21$, then $k$ is one of the roots of the equation :
A bag contains $(N+1)$ coins $- N$ fair coins, and one coin with 'Head' on both sides. A coin is selected at random and tossed. If the probability of getting 'Head' is $\dfrac{9}{16}$, then $N$ is equal to:
Let the mean and the variance of seven observations $2, 4, \alpha, 8, \beta, 12, 14$, $\alpha < \beta$, be $8$ and $16$ respectively. Then the quadratic equation whose roots are $3\alpha + 2$ and $2\beta + 1$ is :
If the mean and the variance of the data \(\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text{Class} & 4\text{-}8 & 8\text{-}12 & 12\text{-}16 & 16\text{-}20 \\ \hline \text{Frequency} & 3 & \lambda & 4 & 7 \\ \hline \end{array}\) are $\mu$ and 19 respectively, then the value of $\lambda+\mu$ is
