IV. Very Short Answer Type Questions :

Question 1.
What is the lower limit of the class 31 - 35?
Lower limit = 31.

Question 2.
“Height of 20 students of your class” forms which type of data?
Primary data.

Question 3.
Find the range of the data 7, 9, 7, 5, 9, 9, 18, 6, 8 and 9.
Here the minimum value of 5 and the maximum value is 18.
∴ Range = 18 - 5 = 13.

Question 4.
Find the class size and class mark of the class-interval 15 - 20.
Class size = Upper limit - Lower limit
= 20 - 15
∴ Class size = 5
Class mark = $$\frac{(\text { Upper limit }+\text { Lower limit) }}{2}=\frac{20+15}{2}=\frac{35}{2}$$ = 17.5
∴ Class mark = 17.5

Question 5.
In the distribution 0, 3, 2, 5, 8, 10, 13, 5, 6, 6, 14, 0 what is the frequency of the class 0-5?
For the given distribution, we make a frequency distribution table :

Hence, frequency of the class 0 - 5 is 4.

Question 6.
The class marks of a continuous distribution are 1.04, 1.14, 1.24, 1.34, 1.44, 1.54 and 1.64. Is it correct to say that the last interval will be 1.55 - 1.73? Justify your answer.
It is not correct, because the class marks of the continuous frequency distribution are 1.04, 1.14, 1.24, 1.34, 1.44, 1.54 and 1.64 which are at equal gaps, so the classes are of equal size and
Class size = Difference between two consecutive class marks = 1.14 - 1.04 = 0.1
But here class size = 1.73 - 1.55 = 0.18, which is not equal to 0.1.

Question 1.
A student got respectively 85, 87 and 83 marks in Maths, Physics and Chemistry. Find his mean marks.
The marks are 85, 87 and 83.
∴ Mean = $$\frac{\text { Sum of observations }}{\text { Number of observations }}$$
∴ Mean = $$\frac{85+87+83}{3}=\frac{255}{3}$$ = 85
Thus, mean marks are 85.

Question 2.
What is the mean of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5x?
Mean = $$\frac{1+2+3+4+5 x}{5} = \frac{10+5 x}{5}$$
∴ Mean = $$\frac{5(2+x)}{5}$$ = (2 + x) or (x + 2)
Hence, mean = (x + 2).

Question 3.
If the mean of 10 observations is 12 and 10 is added to each observation, then find the new mean.
We have, mean of 10 observations = 12
i.e., 12 = $$\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}+\ldots . .+x_{10}}{10}$$
⇒ (x1 + x2 +  ............... + x10) = 12 × 10
⇒ (x1 + x2 +  ............... + x10) = 120 ............ (1)
Now, 10 is added to each observation.

Question 4.
If the mean of 5, 10,15, p, 20, 35, 40 is 21. Then find the value of p.
We have X = $$\frac{\text { Sum of observations }}{\text { Number of observations }}$$
⇒ 21 = $$\frac{5+10+15+p+20+35+40}{7}$$
$$\frac{125+p}{7}$$ = 21
⇒ 125 + p = 21 × 7
⇒ 125 + p = 147
⇒ p = 147 - 125
⇒ p = 22
∴ p = 22

Question 5.
In a data of 12 members arranged in ascending order, if the 9th observation is increased by 5, then by how much is the median increased?
In 12 observations n = 12 (Even)
∴ Median = $$\frac{6^{\text {th }} \text { observation }+7^{\text {th }} \text { observation }}{2}$$
So, the median remains unchanged, as only the 9th observation is increased by 5.

Question 6.
The mean heights of 8 students is 152 cm. Two more students of height 143 cm and 156 cm join the group. What is the new mean height?
Mean height of students = $$\frac{\text { Sum of heights of } 8 \text { students }}{8}$$
152 cm = $$\frac{\text { Sum of heights of } 8 \text { students }}{8}$$
⇒ Sum of heights of 8 students = 152 × 8 = 1216 cm
Now, two more students of heights 143 cm and 156 cm join the group.
∴ Sum of height of 10 students = (1216 + 143 + 156) cm
= 1515 cm
∴ New mean height = $$\frac{\text { Sum of heights of } 8 \text { students }}{10}$$
= $$\frac{1515}{10}$$ cm = 151.5 cm

Question 7.
The donations made by 30 houses in a locality are as under:
42, 35, 28,12,14,16, 47, 50, 52, 27, 34, 42, 26, 28, 36,15, 64, 65, 38, 40, 22, 24, 29, 31, 39, 48, 53, 62, 23, 43.
Construct a grouped frequency distribution with class size 10.
Here the minimum value of the data = 12, and the maximum value of the data = 65
Let us find the range of the given data.
Range of the data = Maximum value - Minimum value = 65 - 12 = 53.
We need the class size = 10.

We have the classes of the data as :
10 - 20, 20 - 30, 30 - 40, 40 - 50, 50 - 60, 60 - 70

Table

Question 8.
The maximum temperatures (in degrees celcius) for a city in North India for the month of June 2000, as reported by meteorological deparment are as below :
32.4, 30.3, 31.6, 32.5, 33.5, 28.7, 33.4, 35.6, 36.4, 34.7, 35.2, 30.6, 28.5, 29.4, 30.3,
32.5, 34.6, 35.4, 36.1, 37.2, 28.5, 28.1, 29.2, 31.4, 32.5, 36.2, 35.9, 36.7, 37.2, 36.1.
Construct a frequency distribution table with continuous classes each of width 2°C.
The minimum value of the data = 28.1°C
The maximum value of the data = 37.2°C
Range of the data = 37.2°C - 28:i°C = 9.1°C
We have the classes as: 28 - 30, 30 - 32, 32 - 34, 34 - 36, 36 - 38 (in degrees celcius).

Question 9.
Prepare a frequency polygon with the help of histogram from the following data:

We plot the classes (- 6 - 0), (0 - 6), (6 - 12), (12 - 18), (18 - 24), (24 - 30), (30 - 36), (36 - 42) along the X-axis. The frequencies of these classes are respectively 0, 4, 8, 15, 20,12, 6 and 0. These frequencies are plotted along the Y-axis.

After drawing the histogram for the data, we join the mid-points of the top sides of the rectangles of the histogram. The frequency polygon is made with dotted line segments.

Question 10.
Draw frequency polygon for the data given below, without drawing histogram:

We have the classes 130 - 140, 140 - 150, 150 - 160, 160 - 170, 170 - 180, 180 - 190, 190 - 200, 200 - 210 having frequencies 0, 5, 10, 20, 9, 6, 2, 0 respectively.
The class marks of the classes are:
$$\frac{130+140}{2}$$ = 135, $$\frac{140+150}{2}$$ = 145, ........., $$\frac{200+210}{2}$$ = 205 respectively.
We take class marks along X-axis and the frequencies along Y-axis. We plot the points (135, 0), (145, 5), (155, 10), (165, 20), (175, 9), (185, 6), (195, 2) and (205, 0). Now, we join these points and get the required frequency polygon ABCDEFGH as in figure.

Question 11.
Ages (in years) of the members of two sports clubs were recorded and the data collected is as under:
Table

Represent the ages of the members of the sports clubs A and B on the same graph by two frequency polygons. Compare the pattern of the two clubs according to ages of the members.
The class marks of the classes 20 - 29, 30 - 39, 40 - 49, 50 - 59, 60 - 69, 70 - 79 are 24.5, 34.5, 44.5, 54.5, 64.5, 74.5 respectively.
The corresponding frequencies for clubs A and B are 5, 10,15, 10, 20, 5 and 10, 15, 10-, 5, 10, 15 respectively.
For the club A, the frequency polygon is drawn by joining the points (14.5, 0), (24.5, 5), (34.5, 10), (44.5, 15), (54.5, 10), (64.5, 20), (74.5, 5), (84.5, 0).
For the club B, the frequency polygon is drawn by joining the points (14.5, 0), (24.5, 10), (34.5, 15), (44.5, 10), (54.5, 5), (64.5, 10), (74.5, 15), (84.5, 0).

We observe that the club B is more youthful in comparison to club A.

VI. Long Answer Type Questions :

Question 1.
The monthly salaries (in thousand ₹) of 50 workers in a factory are given below:

Find the mean salary of a worker.

Thus, mean salary of a worker = ₹ 9.098 thousand = ₹ 9098.

Question 2.
The mean of 30 observations of a data was calculated 24.1. At a later stage, we noticed that a value 18.2 was wrongly read as 12.2. Find the value of the correct mean.
Incorrect mean of the 30 values = 24.1

Question 3.
The mean of 12 values of a data is calculated as 19.25. If one more value is included in the data, then for the 13 values of the new data the mean becomes 20. Find the value of this 13th observation (entry).
Let x1, x2, ......... , x12 be the 12 values of the data and the 13th value be x13
$$\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}+\ldots \ldots+x_{12}}{12}$$ = 19.25
⇒ (x1 + x2 + ............ + x12) = 12 × 19.25 ......... (1)
⇒ (x1 + x2 + ............ + x12) = 231
Also, $$\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}+\ldots \ldots x_{12}+x_{13}}{13}$$ = 20
⇒ (x1 + x2 + ............ + x12) + x13 = 13 × 20
⇒ 231 + x13 = 260 (By equation 1)
⇒ x13 = 260 - 231
Hence, x13 = 29

Question 4.
Marks in a mathematics test (out of 10) of a group of 26 students have the following distribution. Find the mean, median and mode of the data.

Mean: For computing the mean of the given data, we construct the following table:

TABLE

∴ Mean = $$\frac{\Sigma f_{i} x_{i}}{\Sigma f_{i}} = \frac{143}{26}=\frac{11}{2}$$ = 55
Median : For computing the median, we arrange the data in ascending order in a line, repeating a score as many times as its frequency.
0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10.
Since, the number of items is 26, which is an even number, therefore,
median = $$\frac{1}{2}\left\{\left(\frac{26}{2}\right) \text { th item }+\left(\frac{26}{2}+1\right) \text { th item }\right\}$$
= $$\frac{1}{2}$${(13)th item + (14)th item} = $$\frac{1}{2}$$(5 + 6) = $$\frac{11}{2}$$ = 5.5.
Mode: Mode is the observation with highest frequency, therefore, mode is 5 as it has maximum frequency.

Question 5.
Draw the histogram of the following frequency distribution:

How many students got marks less than 14?
