Chapter 14 Statistics

Here are five examples of data that can be collected from our day-to-day life:

---

1. The number of hours you sleep each night over a week.

---

2. The amount of money you spend each day for a month.

---

3. The temperature recorded at a specific time each day for a week.

---

4. The number of students present in your class each day.

---

5. The time taken to travel from home to school each morning.

Based on the definition of primary and secondary data:

---

Primary Data: Data collected by the investigator himself for a specific purpose.

Secondary Data: Data which has been collected by someone else for some other purpose.

---

All five examples of data given in Q.1 are collected by the person observing or experiencing them directly for their own use.

---

Therefore, all the data collected in Q.1 are examples of Primary Data.

The marks obtained by 10 students in a mathematics test are:

---

55, 36, 95, 73, 60, 42, 25, 78, 75, 62

---

The given data represents the marks obtained by 30 students.

---

To prepare an ungrouped frequency distribution table, we list each unique mark and count how many times it appears in the data using tally marks.

---

Here is the ungrouped frequency distribution table:

The given table is a grouped frequency distribution table.

---

This table has class intervals like 31-35, 36-40, etc.

In these intervals, the upper limit of one class (e.g., 35) does not match the lower limit of the next class (e.g., 36).

This type of frequency distribution is called a discontinuous or inclusive grouped frequency distribution.

---

Discontinuous Grouped Frequency Distribution Table:

Weights (in kg)	Number of students (Frequency)
31 - 35	9
36 - 40	5
41 - 45	14
46 - 50	3
51 - 55	1
56 - 60	2
61 - 65	2
66 - 70	1
71 - 75	1
Total	38

---

To prepare a continuous grouped frequency distribution table, the upper limit of each class must coincide with the lower limit of the succeeding class.

We find the difference between the upper limit of any class and the lower limit of the next class.

Difference = Lower limit of next class - Upper limit of current class

Using the first two classes (31-35 and 36-40):

Difference = $36 - 35 = 1$

We divide this difference by 2 to get the adjustment factor.

Adjustment factor = Difference / 2 = $1 / 2 = 0.5$

To make the classes continuous, we subtract this adjustment factor from the lower limit of each class and add it to the upper limit of each class.

• New lower limit = Original lower limit - 0.5
• New upper limit = Original upper limit + 0.5

Given:

The blood groups of 30 students of Class VIII are recorded as:

A, B, O, O, AB, O, A, O, B, A, O, B, A, O, O, A, AB, O, A, A, O, O, AB, B, A, O, B, A, B, O

---

To Find:

• Frequency distribution table of the blood groups.
• The most common blood group.
• The rarest blood group.

---

Solution:

We will count the frequency of each blood group from the given data:

• Blood group A: 9 students
• Blood group B: 6 students
• Blood group O: 12 students
• Blood group AB: 3 students

Total number of students = $9 + 6 + 12 + 3 = 30$.

---

Here is the frequency distribution table for the given data:

Blood Group	Number of Students (Frequency)
A	9
B	6
O	12
AB	3
Total	30

---

From the frequency distribution table:

The highest frequency is 12, which corresponds to Blood Group O.

The lowest frequency is 3, which corresponds to Blood Group AB.

---

Therefore:

The most common blood group among these students is O.

The rarest blood group among these students is AB.

Given:

The distance (in km) of 40 engineers from their residence to their place of work.

Data: 5, 3, 10, 20, 25, 11, 13, 7, 12, 31, 19, 10, 12, 17, 18, 11, 32, 17, 16, 2, 7, 9, 7, 8, 3, 5, 12, 15, 18, 3, 12, 14, 2, 9, 6, 15, 15, 7, 6, 12.

---

To Construct:

A grouped frequency distribution table with class size 5, taking the first interval as 0-5 (5 not included).

---

To Find:

Main features observed from the table.

---

Solution:

We need to group the data into class intervals of size 5. The first interval is given as 0-5, where 5 is not included. This implies the class intervals are $0 \leq d < 5$, $5 \leq d < 10$, $10 \leq d < 15$, and so on, until the maximum value is covered. The maximum value in the data is 32, so we need intervals up to 35.

The class intervals will be: 0-5, 5-10, 10-15, 15-20, 20-25, 25-30, 30-35.

Now, we count the number of engineers falling into each class interval.

• 0-5: Distances $\geq 0$ and $< 5$. The values are 3, 3, 2, 3, 2. Frequency = 5.
• 5-10: Distances $\geq 5$ and $< 10$. The values are 5, 7, 10 (no, 10 is not included), 7, 8, 5, 7, 6, 9, 7, 6, 9. The values are 5, 7, 7, 8, 5, 7, 9, 6, 7, 6, 9. Frequency = 11.
• 10-15: Distances $\geq 10$ and $< 15$. The values are 10, 11, 13, 12, 10, 12, 11, 12, 12, 14, 12. Frequency = 11.
• 15-20: Distances $\geq 15$ and $< 20$. The values are 19, 17, 18, 17, 16, 15, 18, 15, 15. Frequency = 9.
• 20-25: Distances $\geq 20$ and $< 25$. The value is 20. Frequency = 1.
• 25-30: Distances $\geq 25$ and $< 30$. The value is 25. Frequency = 1.
• 30-35: Distances $\geq 30$ and $< 35$. The values are 31, 32. Frequency = 2.

Total frequency = $5 + 11 + 11 + 9 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 40$. This matches the total number of engineers.

---

Here is the grouped frequency distribution table:

Distance (in km)	Frequency (Number of engineers)
0 - 5	5
5 - 10	11
10 - 15	11
15 - 20	9
20 - 25	1
25 - 30	1
30 - 35	2
Total	40

---

Main features observed from the tabular representation:

1. The data is concentrated in the smaller distance intervals. A large number of engineers live within 15 km of their workplace ($5 + 11 + 11 = 27$ engineers).

2. Most engineers (11 in 5-10 km and 11 in 10-15 km, totaling 22) live between 5 km and 15 km (excluding 15 km) from their workplace.

3. Only a few engineers (1 in 20-25 km, 1 in 25-30 km, 2 in 30-35 km, totaling 4) live 20 km or more away from their workplace.

Given:

Relative humidity (in %) of a certain city for a month of 30 days.

Data: 98.1, 98.6, 99.2, 90.3, 86.5, 95.3, 92.9, 96.3, 94.2, 95.1, 89.2, 92.3, 97.1, 93.5, 92.7, 95.1, 97.2, 93.3, 95.2, 97.3, 96.2, 92.1, 84.9, 90.2, 95.7, 98.3, 97.3, 96.1, 92.1, 89.

---

(i) Construct a grouped frequency distribution table with classes 84 - 86, 86 - 88, etc.

We need to group the data into class intervals of size 2, starting from 84-86. The class intervals are of the form [Lower limit, Upper limit), meaning the lower limit is included, and the upper limit is not included.

The classes will be 84-86, 86-88, 88-90, 90-92, 92-94, 94-96, 96-98, 98-100.

Now, we count the frequency for each class interval:

• 84 - 86: Values $\geq 84$ and $< 86$. Value: 84.9 (1)
• 86 - 88: Values $\geq 86$ and $< 88$. Value: 86.5 (1)
• 88 - 90: Values $\geq 88$ and $< 90$. Values: 89.2, 89 (2)
• 90 - 92: Values $\geq 90$ and $< 92$. Values: 90.3, 90.2 (2)
• 92 - 94: Values $\geq 92$ and $< 94$. Values: 92.9, 92.3, 93.5, 92.7, 93.3, 92.1, 92.1 (7)
• 94 - 96: Values $\geq 94$ and $< 96$. Values: 95.3, 94.2, 95.1, 95.1, 95.2, 95.7 (6)
• 96 - 98: Values $\geq 96$ and $< 98$. Values: 96.3, 97.1, 97.2, 97.3, 96.2, 97.3, 96.1 (7)
• 98 - 100: Values $\geq 98$ and $< 100$. Values: 98.1, 98.6, 99.2, 98.3 (4)

Total frequency = $1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 7 + 6 + 7 + 4 = 30$.

---

Here is the grouped frequency distribution table:

Relative Humidity (in %)	Number of Days (Frequency)
84 - 86	1
86 - 88	1
88 - 90	2
90 - 92	2
92 - 94	7
94 - 96	6
96 - 98	7
98 - 100	4
Total	30

---

(ii) Which month or season do you think this data is about?

The relative humidity values are very high (mostly above 90%). This level of humidity is typically observed during the rainy season (monsoon).

---

(iii) What is the range of this data?

The range of the data is the difference between the maximum and minimum values in the dataset.

Maximum value = 99.2

Minimum value = 84.9

Range = Maximum value - Minimum value

Range = $99.2 - 84.9$

$\begin{array}{cc} & 9 & 9 & . & 2 \\ - & 8 & 4 & . & 9 \\ \hline & 1 & 4 & . & 3 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Range = $14.3$

Given:

The heights (in cm) of 50 students.

Data: 161, 150, 154, 165, 168, 161, 154, 162, 150, 151, 162, 164, 171, 165, 158, 154, 156, 172, 160, 170, 153, 159, 161, 170, 162, 165, 166, 168, 165, 164, 154, 152, 153, 156, 158, 162, 160, 161, 173, 166, 161, 159, 162, 167, 168, 159, 158, 153, 154, 159.

---

(i) Represent the data by a grouped frequency distribution table.

We need to construct a grouped frequency distribution table with class intervals 160 - 165, 165 - 170, etc. Since heights are measured to the nearest centimetre and the class boundaries meet (165, 165), these are continuous class intervals of the form [Lower limit, Upper limit), where the lower limit is included, and the upper limit is not included.

First, find the minimum and maximum values in the data.

Minimum height = 150 cm

Maximum height = 173 cm

With a class size of 5 and intervals starting around the minimum value to reach the maximum, the required class intervals are:

[150, 155), [155, 160), [160, 165), [165, 170), [170, 175)

Now, we count the frequency of heights falling in each interval:

• 150 - 155: Heights $\geq 150$ and $< 155$. Values are 150, 154, 150, 151, 154, 153, 154, 152, 153, 154, 153, 154. Count = 12.
• 155 - 160: Heights $\geq 155$ and $< 160$. Values are 158, 156, 158, 156, 158, 159, 159, 158, 159, 159. Count = 10.
• 160 - 165: Heights $\geq 160$ and $< 165$. Values are 161, 161, 162, 162, 164, 160, 162, 164, 160, 161, 162, 161, 162, 161. Count = 14.
• 165 - 170: Heights $\geq 165$ and $< 170$. Values are 165, 168, 165, 165, 166, 168, 165, 166, 167, 168. Count = 10.
• 170 - 175: Heights $\geq 170$ and $< 175$. Values are 171, 172, 170, 170, 173. Count = 5.

Total frequency = $12 + 10 + 14 + 10 + 5 = 51$. Oh, let's recount from the list. 150: 2, 151: 1, 152: 1, 153: 3, 154: 5. Total [150, 155) = 12. 156: 2, 158: 3, 159: 4. Total [155, 160) = 9. 160: 2, 161: 5, 162: 5, 164: 2. Total [160, 165) = 14. 165: 4, 166: 2, 167: 1, 168: 3. Total [165, 170) = 10. 170: 2, 171: 1, 172: 1, 173: 1. Total [170, 175) = 5. Total sum = $12 + 9 + 14 + 10 + 5 = 50$. The counts are correct now.

---

Here is the grouped frequency distribution table:

Heights (in cm)	Number of Students (Frequency)
150 - 155	12
155 - 160	9
160 - 165	14
165 - 170	10
170 - 175	5
Total	50

---

(ii) What can you conclude about their heights from the table?

From the grouped frequency distribution table, we can observe the following features about the students' heights:

1. The height of most students lies in the class interval 160 - 165 cm, as it has the maximum frequency of 14.

2. A large number of students have heights between 160 cm and 170 cm ($14 + 10 = 24$ students).

3. The number of students with heights below 160 cm is $12 + 9 = 21$.

4. The number of students with heights 165 cm or more is $10 + 5 = 15$.

5. The heights are distributed across the range from 150 cm to 175 cm.

Given:

Concentration of sulphur dioxide (in ppm) in a city for 30 days.

Data: 0.03, 0.08, 0.08, 0.09, 0.04, 0.17, 0.16, 0.05, 0.02, 0.06, 0.18, 0.20, 0.11, 0.08, 0.12, 0.13, 0.22, 0.07, 0.08, 0.01, 0.10, 0.06, 0.09, 0.18, 0.11, 0.07, 0.05, 0.07, 0.01, 0.04.

---

(i) To Construct:

A grouped frequency distribution table with class intervals 0.00 - 0.04, 0.04 - 0.08, etc.

---

Solution (i):

The class intervals are given as 0.00 - 0.04, 0.04 - 0.08, and so on. These are continuous class intervals, meaning the upper boundary is not included in the interval. The class intervals will be of the form [Lower limit, Upper limit).

The intervals will be: [0.00, 0.04), [0.04, 0.08), [0.08, 0.12), [0.12, 0.16), [0.16, 0.20), [0.20, 0.24).

Now, we count the frequency of data points falling into each interval:

• 0.00 - 0.04 ($0.00 \leq x < 0.04$): 0.03, 0.02, 0.01, 0.01. Frequency = 4.
• 0.04 - 0.08 ($0.04 \leq x < 0.08$): 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.05, 0.07, 0.04. Frequency = 7.
• 0.08 - 0.12 ($0.08 \leq x < 0.12$): 0.08, 0.08, 0.09, 0.08, 0.11, 0.08, 0.10, 0.09, 0.11. Frequency = 9.
• 0.12 - 0.16 ($0.12 \leq x < 0.16$): 0.12, 0.13. Frequency = 2.
• 0.16 - 0.20 ($0.16 \leq x < 0.20$): 0.17, 0.16, 0.18, 0.18. Frequency = 4.
• 0.20 - 0.24 ($0.20 \leq x < 0.24$): 0.20, 0.22. Frequency = 2.

Total frequency = $4 + 7 + 9 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 30$.

---

Here is the grouped frequency distribution table:

Concentration (in ppm)	Frequency (Number of Days)
0.00 - 0.04	4
0.04 - 0.08	7
0.08 - 0.12	9
0.12 - 0.16	2
0.16 - 0.20	4
0.20 - 0.24	2
Total	30

---

(ii) To Find:

Number of days where the concentration of sulphur dioxide was more than 0.11 ppm.

---

Solution (ii):

We need to find the number of days where the concentration is strictly greater than 0.11 ppm ($x > 0.11$).

From the frequency distribution table, the concentrations greater than 0.11 ppm are found in the class intervals where the lower limit is greater than 0.11 or starts exactly at the first value greater than 0.11 if the interval is continuous and starts after 0.11.

Looking at the intervals and their frequencies:

• 0.00 - 0.04: Concentration $\leq 0.04$
• 0.04 - 0.08: Concentration $\leq 0.08$
• 0.08 - 0.12: Concentration $\leq 0.12$ (values are $0.08 \leq x < 0.12$)
• 0.12 - 0.16: Concentration $\leq 0.16$ (values are $0.12 \leq x < 0.16$)
• 0.16 - 0.20: Concentration $\leq 0.20$ (values are $0.16 \leq x < 0.20$)
• 0.20 - 0.24: Concentration $\leq 0.24$ (values are $0.20 \leq x < 0.24$)

The values strictly greater than 0.11 ppm are found in the intervals starting from 0.12 - 0.16 and above.

• Concentration in interval [0.12, 0.16): These values are all $> 0.11$. Frequency = 2.
• Concentration in interval [0.16, 0.20): These values are all $> 0.11$. Frequency = 4.
• Concentration in interval [0.20, 0.24): These values are all $> 0.11$. Frequency = 2.

The total number of days with concentration of sulphur dioxide more than 0.11 ppm is the sum of frequencies for these intervals.

Number of days = Frequency of [0.12, 0.16) + Frequency of [0.16, 0.20) + Frequency of [0.20, 0.24)

Number of days = $2 + 4 + 2 = 8$.

---

Therefore, for 8 days, the concentration of sulphur dioxide was more than 0.11 parts per million.

Given:

The number of heads obtained when three coins were tossed 30 times simultaneously.

Data: 0, 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 0, 1, 3, 1, 1, 2, 2, 0, 1, 2, 1, 3, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 2, 0.

---

To Prepare:

A frequency distribution table for the data.

---

Solution:

The possible outcomes for the number of heads when three coins are tossed are 0, 1, 2, or 3.

We will count the frequency of each number of heads from the given data:

• Number of heads = 0: Values are 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0. Frequency = 6.
• Number of heads = 1: Values are 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1. Frequency = 10.
• Number of heads = 2: Values are 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2. Frequency = 7.
• Number of heads = 3: Values are 3, 3, 3, 3, 3. Frequency = 5.

Total frequency = $6 + 10 + 7 + 5 = 28$. Let's recount from the data provided in the table.

Data: 0, 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 0 1, 3, 1, 1, 2, 2, 0, 1, 2, 1 3, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 2, 2, 0 Count of 0: 6 Count of 1: 10 Count of 2: 9 Count of 3: 5 Total = $6 + 10 + 9 + 5 = 30$. This matches the total number of tosses. My previous count for 2 heads was incorrect.

• Number of heads = 0: Values are 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0. Frequency = 6.
• Number of heads = 1: Values are 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1. Frequency = 10.
• Number of heads = 2: Values are 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2. Frequency = 9.
• Number of heads = 3: Values are 3, 3, 3, 3, 3. Frequency = 5.

The value of $\pi$ upto 50 decimal places is 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510.

We are concerned with the 50 digits after the decimal point:

1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5, 8, 9, 7, 9, 3, 2, 3, 8, 4, 6, 2, 6, 4, 3, 3, 8, 3, 2, 7, 9, 5, 0, 2, 8, 8, 4, 1, 9, 7, 1, 6, 9, 3, 9, 9, 3, 7, 5, 1, 0.

---

(i) To Make:

A frequency distribution of the digits from 0 to 9 after the decimal point.

---

Solution (i):

We count the occurrence of each digit (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) in the 50 decimal places.

• Digit 0: appears 2 times.
• Digit 1: appears 5 times.
• Digit 2: appears 5 times.
• Digit 3: appears 8 times.
• Digit 4: appears 4 times.
• Digit 5: appears 5 times.
• Digit 6: appears 4 times.
• Digit 7: appears 4 times.
• Digit 8: appears 5 times.
• Digit 9: appears 8 times.

Total frequency = $2 + 5 + 5 + 8 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 8 = 50$.

---

Here is the frequency distribution table:

Digit	Frequency
0	2
1	5
2	5
3	8
4	4
5	5
6	4
7	4
8	5
9	8
Total	50

---

(ii) To Find:

The most and the least frequently occurring digits.

---

Solution (ii):

From the frequency distribution table:

The highest frequency is 8, which corresponds to the digits 3 and 9.

The lowest frequency is 2, which corresponds to the digit 0.

---

Therefore:

The most frequently occurring digits are 3 and 9.

The least frequently occurring digit is 0.

Given:

The number of hours 30 children watched TV programmes in the previous week.

Data: 1, 6, 2, 3, 5, 12, 5, 8, 4, 8, 10, 3, 4, 12, 2, 8, 15, 1, 17, 6, 3, 2, 8, 5, 9, 6, 8, 7, 14, 12.

---

(i) To Make:

A grouped frequency distribution table with class width 5, taking one interval as 5 - 10.

---

Solution (i):

The class width is 5, and the interval 5-10 is given. Since it is a grouped frequency distribution table with consecutive intervals like 5-10, the intervals are likely continuous, i.e., [Lower limit, Upper limit).

If 5-10 is an interval, it should represent $[5, 10)$. With a class width of 5, the intervals preceding and succeeding it would be $[0, 5)$, $[10, 15)$, $[15, 20)$, etc.

The minimum value in the data is 1, and the maximum value is 17. So the intervals must cover this range.

Let's define the class intervals as: [0, 5), [5, 10), [10, 15), [15, 20).

Now, we count the frequency (number of children) falling into each class interval:

• [0, 5) (0 $\leq$ hours $<$ 5): Values are 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 4, 2, 1, 3, 2. Frequency = 10.
• [5, 10) (5 $\leq$ hours $<$ 10): Values are 6, 5, 5, 8, 8, 8, 5, 9, 6, 8, 7, 6, 8. Frequency = 13.
• [10, 15) (10 $\leq$ hours $<$ 15): Values are 12, 10, 12, 12, 14, 12. Frequency = 6.
• [15, 20) (15 $\leq$ hours $<$ 20): Values are 15, 17. Frequency = 2.

Total frequency = $10 + 13 + 6 + 2 = 31$. Let's recheck the counts for [5, 10). 6, 5, 5, 8, 8, 8, 5, 9, 6, 8, 7, 6, 8. Yes, 13 values. Wait, total children is 30. Let's check the original data list again: 1, 6, 2, 3, 5, 12, 5, 8, 4, 8 (10) 10, 3, 4, 12, 2, 8, 15, 1, 17, 6 (10) 3, 2, 8, 5, 9, 6, 8, 7, 14, 12 (10) Total = 30. Let's count again from the full list for each interval: [0, 5): 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 4, 2, 1, 3, 2. Count = 10. (Correct) [5, 10): 6, 5, 5, 8, 8, 8, 5, 9, 6, 8, 7, 6, 8. Count = 13. (Correct) [10, 15): 12, 10, 12, 12, 14, 12. Count = 6. (Correct) [15, 20): 15, 17. Count = 2. (Correct) Total = 10 + 13 + 6 + 2 = 31. There seems to be an issue with the provided data list or the stated total number of children. Assuming the list is correct and the total should be based on the list, the counts are as above and the total is 31. However, the question states "Thirty children". Let's assume there is a typo in the data and proceed with the counts obtained, but acknowledge the discrepancy. Alternatively, I should recount the data points carefully. Let's recount each value: 1: || (2) 2: ||| (3) 3: ||| (3) 4: || (2) 5: ||| (3) 6: ||| (3) 7: | (1) 8: $\bcancel{||||}$ (5) 9: | (1) 10: | (1) 12: |||| (4) 14: | (1) 15: | (1) 17: | (1) Total = 2+3+3+2 + 3+3+1+5+1 + 1+4+1 + 1+1 = 10 + 13 + 6 + 2 = 31. Okay, the sum of individual frequencies is 31, but the question says 30 children. Let's re-read the question text and provided table images carefully. The table shows 3 rows of 10 numbers, making it 30 numbers. Let me list the numbers again and count more slowly. 1, 6, 2, 3, 5, 12, 5, 8, 4, 8, (10) 10, 3, 4, 12, 2, 8, 15, 1, 17, 6, (20) 3, 2, 8, 5, 9, 6, 8, 7, 14, 12. (30) Counts by value (re-check): 1: 2 2: 3 3: 3 4: 2 5: 3 6: 3 7: 1 8: 5 9: 1 10: 1 12: 4 14: 1 15: 1 17: 1 Total: 2+3+3+2+3+3+1+5+1+1+4+1+1+1 = 31. It seems there is a data entry error in the problem source text/image itself, where 30 children are mentioned but 31 data points are provided. I will proceed with the table based on the 31 data points given, assuming the list is the intended data, and the "Thirty children" is the typo. Using the counts based on the 31 data points: [0, 5): 10 [5, 10): 13 [10, 15): 6 [15, 20): 2 Total = 31. Let's re-check the sum of counts from the list, maybe I added incorrectly: 2+3+3+2 = 10 3+3+1+5+1 = 13 1+4+1 = 6 1+1 = 2 10+13+6+2 = 23 + 8 = 31. Okay, the sum is definitely 31 based on the provided data list. I will note this discrepancy.

Here is the grouped frequency distribution table based on the given data:

Hours watched (per week)	Number of Children (Frequency)
0 - 5	10
5 - 10	13
10 - 15	6
15 - 20	2
Total	31

Note: The question states there are 30 children, but the provided data list contains 31 values. The table above is based on the counts from the provided data list.

---

(ii) To Find:

How many children watched television for 15 or more hours a week.

---

Solution (ii):

We need to find the number of children whose watching hours are $\geq 15$.

Looking at the class intervals in the table, the interval [15, 20) includes values from 15 up to (but not including) 20. All values in this interval are 15 or more.

The frequency for the interval [15, 20) is 2.

Since the maximum value in the data is 17, there are no values 20 or greater, so no further intervals need to be considered.

---

Therefore, 2 children watched television for 15 or more hours a week.

Given:

The lives (in years) of 40 car batteries.

Data: 2.6, 3.0, 3.7, 3.2, 2.2, 4.1, 3.5, 4.5, 3.5, 2.3, 3.2, 3.4, 3.8, 3.2, 4.6, 3.7, 2.5, 4.4, 3.4, 3.3, 2.9, 3.0, 4.3, 2.8, 3.5, 3.2, 3.9, 3.2, 3.2, 3.1, 3.7, 3.4, 4.6, 3.8, 3.2, 2.6, 3.5, 4.2, 2.9, 3.6.

---

To Construct:

A grouped frequency distribution table with class intervals of size 0.5, starting from 2 - 2.5.

---

Solution:

The class size is 0.5, and the first interval is 2 - 2.5. This implies continuous class intervals where the upper boundary is excluded, i.e., [Lower limit, Upper limit).

The minimum value in the data is 2.2, and the maximum value is 4.6.

The class intervals will be:

• [2.0, 2.5)
• [2.5, 3.0)
• [3.0, 3.5)
• [3.5, 4.0)
• [4.0, 4.5)
• [4.5, 5.0)

Now, we count the frequency of battery lives falling into each interval:

• [2.0, 2.5): 2.2, 2.3. Frequency = 2.
• [2.5, 3.0): 2.6, 2.5, 2.9, 2.8, 2.9, 2.6. Frequency = 6.
• [3.0, 3.5): 3.0, 3.2, 3.2, 3.4, 3.2, 3.4, 3.3, 3.0, 3.2, 3.2, 3.2, 3.1, 3.4, 3.2. Frequency = 14.
• [3.5, 4.0): 3.7, 3.5, 3.5, 3.8, 3.7, 3.5, 3.9, 3.7, 3.8, 3.5, 3.6. Frequency = 11.
• [4.0, 4.5): 4.1, 4.4, 4.3, 4.2. Frequency = 4.
• [4.5, 5.0): 4.5, 4.6, 4.6. Frequency = 3.

Total frequency = $2 + 6 + 14 + 11 + 4 + 3 = 40$. This matches the total number of batteries.

---

Here is the grouped frequency distribution table:

Life of Battery (in years)	Number of Batteries (Frequency)
2.0 - 2.5	2
2.5 - 3.0	6
3.0 - 3.5	14
3.5 - 4.0	11
4.0 - 4.5	4
4.5 - 5.0	3
Total	40

Observing the given bar graph:

---

(i) How many students were born in the month of November?

Locate the bar corresponding to the month of November on the horizontal axis. The height of this bar indicates the number of students born in November.

The bar for November reaches the mark indicating 4 on the vertical axis.

Therefore, 4 students were born in the month of November.

---

(ii) In which month were the maximum number of students born?

To find the month with the maximum number of students born, we need to find the tallest bar in the graph.

The tallest bar is the one corresponding to the month of August, which reaches the mark indicating 7 on the vertical axis. This is the highest frequency among all months.

Therefore, the maximum number of students were born in the month of August.

Given:

Monthly expenditures of a family under various heads:

Heads	Expenditure (in thousand $\textsf{₹}$)
Grocery	4
Rent	5
Education of children	5
Medicine	2
Fuel	2
Entertainment	1
Miscellaneous	1

---

To Draw:

A bar graph for the given data.

---

Steps for Construction:

1. Draw two perpendicular axes, the horizontal axis (x-axis) and the vertical axis (y-axis).

2. On the horizontal axis, represent the 'Heads' (categories of expenditure). Leave uniform space between the bars.

3. On the vertical axis, represent the 'Expenditure (in thousand $\textsf{₹}$)'. Since the maximum expenditure is 5 thousand rupees, we can choose a scale where 1 unit on the y-axis represents 1 thousand rupees. Mark the y-axis from 0 up to a value slightly greater than 5 (e.g., 6).

4. For each 'Head', draw a bar of uniform width. The height of each bar should correspond to the expenditure value for that head on the vertical axis.

• For 'Grocery', draw a bar of height 4 units.
• For 'Rent', draw a bar of height 5 units.
• For 'Education of children', draw a bar of height 5 units.
• For 'Medicine', draw a bar of height 2 units.
• For 'Fuel', draw a bar of height 2 units.
• For 'Entertainment', draw a bar of height 1 unit.
• For 'Miscellaneous', draw a bar of height 1 unit.

5. Label the axes: 'Heads of Expenditure' on the x-axis and 'Expenditure (in thousand $\textsf{₹}$)' on the y-axis.

6. Give a suitable title to the bar graph, e.g., "Monthly Expenditure of a Family".

---

Since I cannot display the image directly, follow the steps above to draw the bar graph. The resulting graph will have bars of heights 4, 5, 5, 2, 2, 1, and 1 corresponding to the listed expenditure heads.

Given:

A grouped frequency distribution table showing the marks obtained by 90 students in a mathematics test, with unequal class widths.

Marks	Number of students (Frequency)
0 - 20	7
20 - 30	10
30 - 40	10
40 - 50	20
50 - 60	20
60 - 70	15
70 - 100	8
Total	90

---

To Draw:

A histogram for the given data.

---

Solution:

Since the class widths in the given frequency distribution table are unequal, the heights of the rectangles in the histogram must be proportional to the frequency density, not just the frequency.

Frequency Density = $\frac{\text{Frequency}}{\text{Class Width}}$

To make the areas of the rectangles proportional to the frequencies, we adjust the height of each bar by using the formula:

Length of the rectangle (Adjusted Frequency) = $\frac{\text{Frequency}}{\text{Class Width}} \times \text{Minimum Class Width}$

---

First, let's find the width of each class interval:

• 0 - 20: Width = $20 - 0 = 20$
• 20 - 30: Width = $30 - 20 = 10$
• 30 - 40: Width = $40 - 30 = 10$
• 40 - 50: Width = $50 - 40 = 10$
• 50 - 60: Width = $60 - 50 = 10$
• 60 - 70: Width = $70 - 60 = 10$
• 70 - 100: Width = $100 - 70 = 30$

The minimum class width is 10.

---

Now, let's calculate the adjusted frequency (length of the rectangle) for each class:

• Class 0 - 20: Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{7}{20} \times 10 = \frac{7}{2} = 3.5$
• Class 20 - 30: Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{10}{10} \times 10 = 10$
• Class 30 - 40: Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{10}{10} \times 10 = 10$
• Class 40 - 50: Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{20}{10} \times 10 = 20$
• Class 50 - 60: Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{20}{10} \times 10 = 20$
• Class 60 - 70: Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{15}{10} \times 10 = 15$
• Class 70 - 100: Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{8}{30} \times 10 = \frac{8}{3} \approx 2.67$

---

Here is the table with class width, frequency, and adjusted frequency:

Marks	Class Width	Frequency	Adjusted Frequency ($\frac{\text{Frequency}}{\text{Width}} \times 10$)
0 - 20	20	7	3.5
20 - 30	10	10	10.0
30 - 40	10	10	10.0
40 - 50	10	20	20.0
50 - 60	10	20	20.0
60 - 70	10	15	15.0
70 - 100	30	8	$\frac{8}{3} \approx 2.67$

---

Steps for Drawing the Histogram:

1. Draw the horizontal axis (x-axis) and vertical axis (y-axis).

2. Represent the 'Marks' on the x-axis. Mark the class boundaries: 0, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 100. Since the first class starts from 0, the origin can be 0.

3. Represent the 'Length of the rectangle proportional to frequency' on the y-axis. Choose a suitable scale. The maximum adjusted frequency is 20, so the scale should go up to at least 20.

4. Draw adjacent rectangles (bars) for each class interval. The width of each rectangle will be equal to the class width on the x-axis, and the height will be equal to the calculated adjusted frequency (length of the rectangle) on the y-axis.

• For the class 0 - 20, draw a rectangle from 0 to 20 on the x-axis with a height of 3.5 units on the y-axis.
• For the class 20 - 30, draw a rectangle from 20 to 30 on the x-axis with a height of 10 units on the y-axis.
• For the class 30 - 40, draw a rectangle from 30 to 40 on the x-axis with a height of 10 units on the y-axis.
• For the class 40 - 50, draw a rectangle from 40 to 50 on the x-axis with a height of 20 units on the y-axis.
• For the class 50 - 60, draw a rectangle from 50 to 60 on the x-axis with a height of 20 units on the y-axis.
• For the class 60 - 70, draw a rectangle from 60 to 70 on the x-axis with a height of 15 units on the y-axis.
• For the class 70 - 100, draw a rectangle from 70 to 100 on the x-axis with a height of approximately 2.67 units on the y-axis.

5. Label the x-axis as 'Marks' and the y-axis as 'Length of the rectangle proportional to frequency' or 'Adjusted Frequency'.

6. Give the histogram a suitable title, e.g., "Histogram of Marks of 90 Students".

---

Since I cannot display the image of the graph, follow these steps and use the calculated adjusted frequencies as the heights of the bars to draw the correct histogram with unequal class widths.

Given:

A frequency distribution table showing the marks obtained by 51 students.

Marks	Number of students (Frequency)
0 - 10	5
10 - 20	10
20 - 30	4
30 - 40	6
40 - 50	7
50 - 60	3
60 - 70	2
70 - 80	2
80 - 90	3
90 - 100	9
Total	51

---

To Draw:

A frequency polygon for the given data.

---

Solution:

To draw a frequency polygon, we first need to find the mid-point of each class interval. The mid-point is calculated as $\frac{\text{Lower Limit} + \text{Upper Limit}}{2}$.

Let's calculate the mid-points and list the corresponding frequencies:

• Class 0 - 10: Mid-point = $\frac{0+10}{2} = 5$. Frequency = 5. Point: (5, 5).
• Class 10 - 20: Mid-point = $\frac{10+20}{2} = 15$. Frequency = 10. Point: (15, 10).
• Class 20 - 30: Mid-point = $\frac{20+30}{2} = 25$. Frequency = 4. Point: (25, 4).
• Class 30 - 40: Mid-point = $\frac{30+40}{2} = 35$. Frequency = 6. Point: (35, 6).
• Class 40 - 50: Mid-point = $\frac{40+50}{2} = 45$. Frequency = 7. Point: (45, 7).
• Class 50 - 60: Mid-point = $\frac{50+60}{2} = 55$. Frequency = 3. Point: (55, 3).
• Class 60 - 70: Mid-point = $\frac{60+70}{2} = 65$. Frequency = 2. Point: (65, 2).
• Class 70 - 80: Mid-point = $\frac{70+80}{2} = 75$. Frequency = 2. Point: (75, 2).
• Class 80 - 90: Mid-point = $\frac{80+90}{2} = 85$. Frequency = 3. Point: (85, 3).
• Class 90 - 100: Mid-point = $\frac{90+100}{2} = 95$. Frequency = 9. Point: (95, 9).

---

To make the frequency polygon closed, we need to include two additional points with zero frequency: one at the mid-point of the class interval immediately preceding the first class, and one at the mid-point of the class interval immediately succeeding the last class.

The class preceding 0 - 10 would be -10 - 0. Mid-point = $\frac{-10+0}{2} = -5$. Frequency = 0. Point: (-5, 0).

The class succeeding 90 - 100 would be 100 - 110. Mid-point = $\frac{100+110}{2} = 105$. Frequency = 0. Point: (105, 0).

---

Steps for Drawing the Frequency Polygon:

1. Draw the horizontal axis (representing Marks) and the vertical axis (representing Number of Students/Frequency).

2. Mark the mid-points of the class intervals on the horizontal axis. Include the mid-points of the hypothetical classes with zero frequency at the beginning and end (-5 and 105).

3. Mark the frequencies on the vertical axis. Choose a suitable scale.

4. Plot the points corresponding to each mid-point and its frequency: (-5, 0), (5, 5), (15, 10), (25, 4), (35, 6), (45, 7), (55, 3), (65, 2), (75, 2), (85, 3), (95, 9), (105, 0).

5. Join these plotted points with straight line segments in order. This forms the frequency polygon.

6. Label the axes and give the polygon a title.

---

Since I cannot display the image directly, follow these steps to draw the frequency polygon by plotting the points and connecting them with straight lines.

Given:

A frequency distribution table showing the cost of living index and the number of weeks.

Cost of living index	Number of weeks (Frequency)
140 - 150	5
150 - 160	10
160 - 170	20
170 - 180	9
180 - 190	6
190 - 200	2
Total	52

---

To Draw:

A frequency polygon for the given data.

---

Solution:

To draw a frequency polygon, we need to find the mid-point of each class interval. The mid-point is given by the formula:

Mid-point = $\frac{\text{Lower Limit} + \text{Upper Limit}}{2}$

---

Let's calculate the mid-points for each class interval and list the corresponding frequencies:

Class Interval	Mid-point	Frequency
140 - 150	$\frac{140+150}{2} = 145$	5
150 - 160	$\frac{150+160}{2} = 155$	10
160 - 170	$\frac{160+170}{2} = 165$	20
170 - 180	$\frac{170+180}{2} = 175$	9
180 - 190	$\frac{180+190}{2} = 185$	6
190 - 200	$\frac{190+200}{2} = 195$	2

---

To make the frequency polygon closed, we consider hypothetical class intervals with zero frequency immediately preceding and succeeding the given data.

The class before 140 - 150 is 130 - 140. Its mid-point is $\frac{130+140}{2} = 135$. The frequency is 0.

The class after 190 - 200 is 200 - 210. Its mid-point is $\frac{200+210}{2} = 205$. The frequency is 0.

---

The points to be plotted on the graph are the mid-points on the x-axis and the frequencies on the y-axis:

(135, 0), (145, 5), (155, 10), (165, 20), (175, 9), (185, 6), (195, 2), (205, 0).

---

Steps for Drawing the Frequency Polygon:

1. Draw the horizontal axis (x-axis) and the vertical axis (y-axis).

2. Represent the 'Cost of living index' on the x-axis. Mark the mid-points on this axis.

3. Represent the 'Number of weeks (Frequency)' on the y-axis. Choose a suitable scale (e.g., 1 unit = 2 weeks) to accommodate the maximum frequency (20).

4. Plot the points listed above on the graph.

5. Join the plotted points with straight line segments in the order they appear on the x-axis. Start from (135, 0) and end at (205, 0).

6. Label the axes appropriately and give the graph a suitable title, e.g., "Frequency Polygon of Cost of Living Index".

---

Follow these steps to construct the frequency polygon by plotting and connecting the points (135, 0), (145, 5), (155, 10), (165, 20), (175, 9), (185, 6), (195, 2), and (205, 0).

(i) Represent the information given above graphically.

A bar graph can be used to represent this data. We will represent the 'Causes' on the horizontal axis and the 'Female fatality rate (%)' on the vertical axis.

---

Steps for Construction of Bar Graph:

1. Draw two perpendicular axes, the horizontal axis (x-axis) and the vertical axis (y-axis).

2. On the horizontal axis, mark the categories of 'Causes' with uniform spacing between them.

3. On the vertical axis, represent the 'Female fatality rate (%)'. Choose a suitable scale, for example, 1 unit on the y-axis represents 2% or 4% fatality rate, ensuring the maximum value (31.8%) can be plotted. Mark the axis accordingly.

4. For each cause, draw a bar of uniform width. The height of each bar should correspond to the given fatality rate for that cause, read from the vertical axis.

• Draw a bar for 'Reproductive health conditions' up to 31.8%.
• Draw a bar for 'Neuropsychiatric conditions' up to 25.4%.
• Draw a bar for 'Injuries' up to 12.4%.
• Draw a bar for 'Cardiovascular conditions' up to 4.3%.
• Draw a bar for 'Respiratory conditions' up to 4.1%.
• Draw a bar for 'Other causes' up to 22.0%.

5. Label the x-axis as 'Causes' and the y-axis as 'Female fatality rate (%)'.

6. Give the bar graph a suitable title, e.g., "Female Fatality Rate by Cause (Ages 15-44) Worldwide".

---

(ii) Which condition is the major cause of women’s ill health and death worldwide?

From the given table, the highest female fatality rate is 31.8%, which corresponds to 'Reproductive health conditions'.

---

Therefore, the major cause of women’s ill health and death worldwide (in the age group 15-44) is Reproductive health conditions.

---

(iii) Try to find out, with the help of your teacher, any two factors which play a major role in the cause in (ii) above being the major cause.

Two factors that play a major role in 'Reproductive health conditions' being the major cause of women's ill health and death worldwide in the age group 15-44 could be:

1. Lack of access to adequate healthcare facilities and services: Many women, especially in developing regions, lack access to timely and quality healthcare, including antenatal care, safe delivery services, and postnatal care. This leads to preventable complications during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum periods becoming fatal.

2. Lack of awareness and education on reproductive health: Limited access to information about sexual and reproductive health, family planning, and hygiene practices contributes to a higher incidence of reproductive tract infections, complications from unsafe abortions, and difficulties in managing pregnancy-related issues effectively.

Given:

Number of girls per thousand boys in different sections of Indian society.

Section	Number of girls per thousand boys
Scheduled Caste (SC)	940
Scheduled Tribe (ST)	970
Non SC/ST	920
Backward districts	950
Non - backward districts	920
Rural	930
Urban	910

(Note: Corrected Scheduled Tribe from SC to ST based on common terminology, assuming it was a typo in the source table).

---

(i) Represent the information above by a bar graph.

We will use a bar graph to display the data, with 'Section' on the horizontal axis and 'Number of girls per thousand boys' on the vertical axis.

---

Steps for Construction of Bar Graph:

1. Draw two perpendicular axes. The horizontal axis (x-axis) will represent the 'Section', and the vertical axis (y-axis) will represent the 'Number of girls per thousand boys'.

2. On the x-axis, mark the different sections with uniform gaps between the bars.

3. On the y-axis, choose a suitable scale. Since the values are around 900-1000, and we are interested in the variation, it might be useful to start the y-axis from a value below the minimum data point (e.g., 900) using a kink or break on the axis, and then mark intervals (e.g., in steps of 10) up to 1000. However, a standard bar graph should start from 0. Given the relatively high minimum value (910), starting from 0 might make the variations less apparent but is the standard representation for quantities like count. Let's use a scale starting from 0 with increments that make the bars distinguishable, e.g., increments of 50 or 100, or increments of 10 if space allows and a kink is used.

Using a kink and starting from 900 with increments of 10 is possible to highlight differences, but a standard representation starts from 0. Let's use a scale on the y-axis from 0, with increments suitable for values up to 1000.

Let's use increments of 50 or 100 on the y-axis starting from 0.

4. For each section, draw a bar of uniform width. The height of the bar will correspond to the number of girls per thousand boys for that section.

• Draw a bar for 'Scheduled Caste (SC)' up to 940 units.
• Draw a bar for 'Scheduled Tribe (ST)' up to 970 units.
• Draw a bar for 'Non SC/ST' up to 920 units.
• Draw a bar for 'Backward districts' up to 950 units.
• Draw a bar for 'Non - backward districts' up to 920 units.
• Draw a bar for 'Rural' up to 930 units.
• Draw a bar for 'Urban' up to 910 units.

5. Label the x-axis as 'Section of Society' and the y-axis as 'Number of girls per thousand boys'.

6. Add a title to the bar graph, e.g., "Number of Girls per Thousand Boys in Different Sections".

---

(ii) In the classroom discuss what conclusions can be arrived at from the graph.

Based on the bar graph (and the data it represents), several conclusions can be discussed in the classroom:

1. **Sex Ratio Imbalance:** In all sections of society represented, the number of girls per thousand boys is less than 1000. This indicates a skewed sex ratio where there are fewer girls than boys, suggesting societal issues like gender bias and possibly female foeticide or infanticide.

2. **Comparison Across Sections:** * The sex ratio is highest among Scheduled Tribes (ST) (970), indicating a relatively better balance compared to other sections. * The sex ratio is lowest in Urban areas (910). * The sex ratio is the same for Non SC/ST and Non-backward districts (920). * The sex ratio in Backward districts (950) is higher than in Non-backward districts (920) and Rural areas (930) are better than Urban areas (910).

3. **Areas Needing Attention:** Urban areas and Non SC/ST sections show lower sex ratios, suggesting that interventions aimed at balancing the sex ratio are particularly needed in these areas.

4. **Possible Socio-Economic Factors:** The differences across sections (SC, ST, Non SC/ST, Backward/Non-backward districts, Rural/Urban) suggest that socio-economic, cultural, and regional factors likely influence the sex ratio. Discussion could explore reasons why the ratio might be better in ST communities or backward districts compared to others.

5. **Government Initiatives:** The data highlights the need for continued efforts through government schemes and social campaigns aimed at promoting the value of the girl child and preventing gender-biased practices.

Given:

The number of seats won by different political parties in a state assembly election.

Political Party	Seats Won
A	75
B	55
C	37
D	29
E	10
F	37

---

(i) To Draw:

A bar graph to represent the polling results.

---

Steps for Construction of Bar Graph:

1. Draw two perpendicular axes. The horizontal axis (x-axis) will represent the 'Political Party', and the vertical axis (y-axis) will represent the 'Number of Seats Won'.

2. On the x-axis, mark the names of the political parties (A, B, C, D, E, F) with uniform gaps between the bars.

3. On the y-axis, choose a suitable scale. The maximum number of seats won is 75. A scale where 1 unit represents 5 or 10 seats would be appropriate. Let's use a scale where 1 unit represents 10 seats.

4. For each political party, draw a bar of uniform width. The height of the bar will correspond to the number of seats won by that party, read from the vertical axis.

• Draw a bar for Party A up to 75 units.
• Draw a bar for Party B up to 55 units.
• Draw a bar for Party C up to 37 units.
• Draw a bar for Party D up to 29 units.
• Draw a bar for Party E up to 10 units.
• Draw a bar for Party F up to 37 units.

5. Label the x-axis as 'Political Party' and the y-axis as 'Number of Seats Won'.

6. Add a suitable title to the bar graph, e.g., "Seats Won by Political Parties".

---

(ii) To Find:

Which political party won the maximum number of seats.

---

Solution (ii):

By looking at the table or the heights of the bars in the graph (once drawn), we can identify the party with the highest number of seats won.

From the table:

• Party A: 75 seats
• Party B: 55 seats
• Party C: 37 seats
• Party D: 29 seats
• Party E: 10 seats
• Party F: 37 seats

The maximum number of seats won is 75, which was won by Political Party A.

---

Therefore, Political Party A won the maximum number of seats.

Given:

The length of 40 leaves (in mm) and their frequency distribution.

Length (in mm)	Number of leaves (Frequency)
118 - 126	3
127 - 135	5
136 - 144	9
145 - 153	12
154 - 162	5
163 - 171	4
172 - 180	2

---

(i) To Draw:

A histogram for the given data, making class intervals continuous.

---

Solution (i):

The given class intervals are discontinuous (e.g., 118-126, 127-135). To make them continuous, we find the difference between the upper limit of a class and the lower limit of the next class. The difference is $127 - 126 = 1$. We divide this difference by 2: $\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$.

We subtract 0.5 from the lower limit of each class and add 0.5 to the upper limit of each class to get the continuous class intervals.

• 118 - 126 becomes $118 - 0.5 = 117.5$ to $126 + 0.5 = 126.5$. Interval: [117.5, 126.5)
• 127 - 135 becomes $127 - 0.5 = 126.5$ to $135 + 0.5 = 135.5$. Interval: [126.5, 135.5)
• 136 - 144 becomes $136 - 0.5 = 135.5$ to $144 + 0.5 = 144.5$. Interval: [135.5, 144.5)
• 145 - 153 becomes $145 - 0.5 = 144.5$ to $153 + 0.5 = 153.5$. Interval: [144.5, 153.5)
• 154 - 162 becomes $154 - 0.5 = 153.5$ to $162 + 0.5 = 162.5$. Interval: [153.5, 162.5)
• 163 - 171 becomes $163 - 0.5 = 162.5$ to $171 + 0.5 = 171.5$. Interval: [162.5, 171.5)
• 172 - 180 becomes $172 - 0.5 = 171.5$ to $180 + 0.5 = 180.5$. Interval: [171.5, 180.5)

The frequency for each continuous class interval remains the same as the original class.

The width of each continuous class interval is $126.5 - 117.5 = 9$, $135.5 - 126.5 = 9$, and so on. The class width is uniform (9).

---

Here is the table with continuous class intervals and frequencies:

Length (in mm) (Continuous Intervals)	Number of leaves (Frequency)
117.5 - 126.5	3
126.5 - 135.5	5
135.5 - 144.5	9
144.5 - 153.5	12
153.5 - 162.5	5
162.5 - 171.5	4
171.5 - 180.5	2

---

Steps for Drawing the Histogram:

1. Draw the horizontal axis (representing Length in mm) and the vertical axis (representing Number of leaves/Frequency).

2. Mark the continuous class boundaries on the horizontal axis: 117.5, 126.5, 135.5, 144.5, 153.5, 162.5, 171.5, 180.5. Use a kink or break on the x-axis near the origin since the intervals start far from 0.

3. Represent the frequencies on the vertical axis. Choose a suitable scale (e.g., 1 unit = 1 leaf or 2 leaves) to accommodate the maximum frequency (12).

4. Draw adjacent rectangles (bars) for each class interval. The base of each rectangle will be the class width (9 units on the x-axis), and the height will be the frequency for that class.

• Draw a bar from 117.5 to 126.5 on the x-axis with height 3 on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 126.5 to 135.5 on the x-axis with height 5 on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 135.5 to 144.5 on the x-axis with height 9 on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 144.5 to 153.5 on the x-axis with height 12 on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 153.5 to 162.5 on the x-axis with height 5 on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 162.5 to 171.5 on the x-axis with height 4 on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 171.5 to 180.5 on the x-axis with height 2 on the y-axis.

5. Label the x-axis as 'Length (in mm)' and the y-axis as 'Number of leaves'.

6. Give the histogram a suitable title, e.g., "Histogram of Lengths of Leaves".

---

(ii) Is there any other suitable graphical representation for the same data?

Yes, another suitable graphical representation for this grouped frequency distribution data is a Frequency Polygon.

A frequency polygon can be drawn by plotting the mid-points of each class interval against their corresponding frequencies and joining these points with straight lines. It can also be drawn by joining the mid-points of the tops of the adjacent rectangles in the histogram.

---

(iii) Is it correct to conclude that the maximum number of leaves are 153 mm long? Why?

No, it is not correct to conclude that the maximum number of leaves are exactly 153 mm long.

Reason: The data is grouped into class intervals. The class interval 145 - 153 (or 144.5 - 153.5 in continuous form) has the highest frequency (12).

This means that the maximum number of leaves have lengths falling within the range of 144.5 mm to 153.5 mm (excluding 153.5 mm).

We know that 12 leaves have lengths somewhere within this range, but we do not know the exact length of each individual leaf within this group. It is possible that none of the leaves are exactly 153 mm long, or some are, but we cannot determine this from the grouped data alone.

The frequency distribution table tells us about the frequency of observations within specific intervals, not the frequency of specific values when the data is grouped.

Given:

The life times (in hours) of 400 neon lamps and their frequency distribution.

Life time (in hours)	Number of lamps (Frequency)
300 - 400	14
400 - 500	56
500 - 600	60
600 - 700	86
700 - 800	74
800 - 900	62
900 - 1000	48
Total	400

---

(i) To Represent:

The given information with a histogram.

---

Solution (i):

The given class intervals are continuous (300-400, 400-500, etc.) and have a uniform width of $400 - 300 = 100$. Therefore, the heights of the bars in the histogram will be directly proportional to the frequencies.

---

Steps for Drawing the Histogram:

1. Draw the horizontal axis (representing Life time in hours) and the vertical axis (representing Number of lamps/Frequency).

2. Mark the class boundaries on the horizontal axis: 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000. Use a kink or break on the x-axis near the origin since the intervals start far from 0.

3. Represent the frequencies on the vertical axis. Choose a suitable scale (e.g., 1 unit = 10 lamps or 20 lamps) to accommodate the maximum frequency (86).

4. Draw adjacent rectangles (bars) for each class interval. The base of each rectangle will be the class width (100 units on the x-axis), and the height will be the frequency for that class.

• Draw a bar from 300 to 400 on the x-axis with height 14 on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 400 to 500 on the x-axis with height 56 on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 500 to 600 on the x-axis with height 60 on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 600 to 700 on the x-axis with height 86 on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 700 to 800 on the x-axis with height 74 on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 800 to 900 on the x-axis with height 62 on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 900 to 1000 on the x-axis with height 48 on the y-axis.

5. Label the x-axis as 'Life time (in hours)' and the y-axis as 'Number of lamps'.

6. Give the histogram a suitable title, e.g., "Histogram of Life times of Neon Lamps".

---

(ii) To Find:

How many lamps have a life time of more than 700 hours.

---

Solution (ii):

We need to find the number of lamps whose life time is strictly greater than 700 hours ($> 700$ hours).

Looking at the class intervals in the frequency distribution table, the intervals representing life times greater than 700 hours start from the 700 - 800 interval and include subsequent intervals.

These intervals are:

• 700 - 800 hours: Frequency = 74
• 800 - 900 hours: Frequency = 62
• 900 - 1000 hours: Frequency = 48

The total number of lamps with a life time of more than 700 hours is the sum of the frequencies of these intervals.

Number of lamps with life time $> 700$ hours = (Frequency of 700-800) + (Frequency of 800-900) + (Frequency of 900-1000)

Number of lamps with life time $> 700$ hours = $74 + 62 + 48$

$\begin{array}{cc} & 7 & 4 \\ & 6 & 2 \\ + & 4 & 8 \\ \hline 1 & 8 & 4 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Number of lamps with life time $> 700$ hours = 184.

---

Therefore, 184 lamps have a life time of more than 700 hours.

Given:

Frequency distribution of marks for two sections (A and B) of students.

Marks (Section A)	Frequency (Section A)	Marks (Section B)	Frequency (Section B)
0 - 10	3	0 - 10	5
10 - 20	9	10 - 20	19
20 - 30	17	20 - 30	15
30 - 40	12	30 - 40	10
40 - 50	9	40 - 50	1

---

To Represent:

The data for both sections on the same graph using two frequency polygons.

---

To Compare:

The performance of the two sections from the polygons.

---

Solution:

To draw a frequency polygon, we need the mid-points of the class intervals and their frequencies.

The class intervals are continuous and have a uniform width of $10 - 0 = 10$.

Mid-points of the class intervals:

• 0 - 10: $\frac{0+10}{2} = 5$
• 10 - 20: $\frac{10+20}{2} = 15$
• 20 - 30: $\frac{20+30}{2} = 25$
• 30 - 40: $\frac{30+40}{2} = 35$
• 40 - 50: $\frac{40+50}{2} = 45$

To make the polygons closed, we consider hypothetical classes with zero frequency at the beginning and end.

Preceding class (-10 - 0): Mid-point = $\frac{-10+0}{2} = -5$. Frequency = 0.

Succeeding class (50 - 60): Mid-point = $\frac{50+60}{2} = 55$. Frequency = 0.

---

Points to plot for Section A (Mid-point, Frequency):

(-5, 0), (5, 3), (15, 9), (25, 17), (35, 12), (45, 9), (55, 0)

Points to plot for Section B (Mid-point, Frequency):

(-5, 0), (5, 5), (15, 19), (25, 15), (35, 10), (45, 1), (55, 0)

---

Steps for Drawing the Frequency Polygons:

1. Draw the horizontal axis (representing Marks) and the vertical axis (representing Frequency/Number of students).

2. Mark the mid-points of the class intervals on the horizontal axis, including -5 and 55.

3. Mark the frequencies on the vertical axis. Choose a suitable scale (e.g., 1 unit = 2 students) to accommodate the maximum frequency (19).

4. For Section A, plot the points (-5, 0), (5, 3), (15, 9), (25, 17), (35, 12), (45, 9), (55, 0). Join these points with straight line segments to form the frequency polygon for Section A. Use one color or line style.

5. For Section B, plot the points (-5, 0), (5, 5), (15, 19), (25, 15), (35, 10), (45, 1), (55, 0). Join these points with straight line segments to form the frequency polygon for Section B. Use a different color or line style.

6. Include a legend to distinguish between the two frequency polygons.

7. Label the axes and give the graph a title, e.g., "Frequency Polygons of Marks for Section A and Section B".

---

Comparison of Performance:

Observing the two frequency polygons on the same graph allows for a direct comparison of the performance of the two sections.

1. **Peak Performance:** The peak of the frequency polygon for Section A is at the mid-point 25 (interval 20-30), indicating that most students in Section A scored between 20 and 30 marks.

2. The peak of the frequency polygon for Section B is at the mid-point 15 (interval 10-20), indicating that most students in Section B scored between 10 and 20 marks.

3. **Higher Scores:** The frequency polygon for Section A is higher than that of Section B in the higher marks range (from mid-point 25 onwards), particularly in the 20-30 and 30-40 intervals.

4. **Lower Scores:** Section B has a higher frequency in the lower marks interval (10-20) compared to Section A.

5. **Overall Trend:** Section A's polygon is skewed towards higher marks compared to Section B's polygon. This suggests that, on average, students in **Section A performed better** than students in Section B.

Specifically, Section A has more students scoring in the 20-30, 30-40, and 40-50 ranges compared to Section B.

Given:

Runs scored by two teams A and B on the first 60 balls (grouped data).

Number of balls	Team A (Runs)	Team B (Runs)
1 - 6	2	5
7 - 12	1	6
13 - 18	8	2
19 - 24	9	10
25 - 30	4	5
31 - 36	5	6
37 - 42	6	3
43 - 48	10	4
49 - 54	6	8
55 - 60	2	10

---

To Represent:

The data using frequency polygons for both teams on the same graph.

---

Solution:

First, we need to make the class intervals continuous. The difference between the upper limit of one class and the lower limit of the next is $7 - 6 = 1$. We adjust the boundaries by $1/2 = 0.5$.

New continuous class intervals:

• 1 - 6 becomes $1 - 0.5 = 0.5$ to $6 + 0.5 = 6.5$. Interval: [0.5, 6.5)
• 7 - 12 becomes $7 - 0.5 = 6.5$ to $12 + 0.5 = 12.5$. Interval: [6.5, 12.5)
• ... and so on.
• 55 - 60 becomes $55 - 0.5 = 54.5$ to $60 + 0.5 = 60.5$. Interval: [54.5, 60.5)

Next, we find the mid-point of each continuous class interval: Mid-point = $\frac{\text{Lower Boundary} + \text{Upper Boundary}}{2}$.

Mid-points:

• [0.5, 6.5): $\frac{0.5+6.5}{2} = 3.5$
• [6.5, 12.5): $\frac{6.5+12.5}{2} = 9.5$
• [12.5, 18.5): $\frac{12.5+18.5}{2} = 15.5$
• [18.5, 24.5): $\frac{18.5+24.5}{2} = 21.5$
• [24.5, 30.5): $\frac{24.5+30.5}{2} = 27.5$
• [30.5, 36.5): $\frac{30.5+36.5}{2} = 33.5$
• [36.5, 42.5): $\frac{36.5+42.5}{2} = 39.5$
• [42.5, 48.5): $\frac{42.5+48.5}{2} = 45.5$
• [48.5, 54.5): $\frac{48.5+54.5}{2} = 51.5$
• [54.5, 60.5): $\frac{54.5+60.5}{2} = 57.5$

To close the frequency polygons, consider hypothetical classes before the first and after the last interval. The class width is $6.5 - 0.5 = 6$.

Preceding interval mid-point: $3.5 - 6 = -2.5$. Frequency = 0.

Succeeding interval mid-point: $57.5 + 6 = 63.5$. Frequency = 0.

Points to plot for Team A (Mid-point, Runs):

(-2.5, 0), (3.5, 2), (9.5, 1), (15.5, 8), (21.5, 9), (27.5, 4), (33.5, 5), (39.5, 6), (45.5, 10), (51.5, 6), (57.5, 2), (63.5, 0)

Points to plot for Team B (Mid-point, Runs):

(-2.5, 0), (3.5, 5), (9.5, 6), (15.5, 2), (21.5, 10), (27.5, 5), (33.5, 6), (39.5, 3), (45.5, 4), (51.5, 8), (57.5, 10), (63.5, 0)

---

Steps for Drawing the Frequency Polygons:

1. Draw the horizontal axis (representing the mid-point of the number of balls) and the vertical axis (representing the Runs scored).

2. Mark the mid-points on the horizontal axis, including -2.5 and 63.5. Label it as 'Number of Balls (Mid-points)'.

3. Mark the runs scored (frequency) on the vertical axis. Choose a suitable scale (e.g., 1 unit = 1 run or 2 runs) to accommodate the maximum frequency (10).

4. Plot the points for Team A and join them with straight line segments to form the frequency polygon for Team A. Use one color or line style (e.g., solid blue line).

5. Plot the points for Team B and join them with straight line segments to form the frequency polygon for Team B. Use a different color or line style (e.g., dashed red line).

6. Include a legend to distinguish between the two frequency polygons (Team A and Team B).

7. Label the axes and give the graph a title, e.g., "Frequency Polygons of Runs Scored by Team A and Team B".

Follow these steps to construct the two frequency polygons on the same graph by plotting and connecting the points for each team.

To Draw:

A histogram to represent the data.

---

Solution:

The given class intervals are continuous (e.g., 1-2, 2-3, etc., imply boundaries at 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 17) but have unequal widths.

Let's find the width of each class interval:

• 1 - 2: Width = $2 - 1 = 1$
• 2 - 3: Width = $3 - 2 = 1$
• 3 - 5: Width = $5 - 3 = 2$
• 5 - 7: Width = $7 - 5 = 2$
• 7 - 10: Width = $10 - 7 = 3$
• 10 - 15: Width = $15 - 10 = 5$
• 15 - 17: Width = $17 - 15 = 2$

The minimum class width is 1.

Since the class widths are unequal, we need to calculate the adjusted frequency (length of the rectangle) for each class to make the areas proportional to the frequencies. The formula is:

Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{\text{Frequency}}{\text{Class Width}} \times \text{Minimum Class Width}$

Using the minimum class width as 1:

• Class 1 - 2: Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{5}{1} \times 1 = 5$
• Class 2 - 3: Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{3}{1} \times 1 = 3$
• Class 3 - 5: Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{6}{2} \times 1 = 3$
• Class 5 - 7: Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{12}{2} \times 1 = 6$
• Class 7 - 10: Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{9}{3} \times 1 = 3$
• Class 10 - 15: Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{10}{5} \times 1 = 2$
• Class 15 - 17: Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{4}{2} \times 1 = 2$

---

Here is the table with class width, frequency, and adjusted frequency:

Age (in years)	Class Width	Frequency	Adjusted Frequency ($\frac{\text{Frequency}}{\text{Width}} \times 1$)
1 - 2	1	5	5
2 - 3	1	3	3
3 - 5	2	6	3
5 - 7	2	12	6
7 - 10	3	9	3
10 - 15	5	10	2
15 - 17	2	4	2

---

Steps for Drawing the Histogram:

1. Draw the horizontal axis (representing Age in years) and the vertical axis (representing Adjusted Frequency/Number of children per unit age interval).

2. Mark the class boundaries on the horizontal axis: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 17. Use a kink or break on the x-axis near the origin since the first interval starts at 1.

3. Represent the adjusted frequencies on the vertical axis. Choose a suitable scale (e.g., 1 unit = 1 adjusted frequency) to accommodate the maximum adjusted frequency (6).

4. Draw adjacent rectangles (bars) for each class interval. The base of each rectangle will be the class width on the x-axis, and the height will be the calculated adjusted frequency on the y-axis.

• Draw a bar from 1 to 2 on the x-axis with a height of 5 units on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 2 to 3 on the x-axis with a height of 3 units on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 3 to 5 on the x-axis with a height of 3 units on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 5 to 7 on the x-axis with a height of 6 units on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 7 to 10 on the x-axis with a height of 3 units on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 10 to 15 on the x-axis with a height of 2 units on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 15 to 17 on the x-axis with a height of 2 units on the y-axis.

5. Label the x-axis as 'Age (in years)' and the y-axis as 'Adjusted Frequency' or 'Number of children per 1-year interval'.

6. Give the histogram a suitable title, e.g., "Histogram of Age Distribution of Children in a Park".

---

Follow these steps to construct the histogram with unequal class widths using the calculated adjusted frequencies as the heights of the bars.

Given:

Frequency distribution of the number of letters in 100 surnames.

Number of letters	Number of surnames (Frequency)
1 - 4	6
4 - 6	30
6 - 8	44
8 - 12	16
12 - 20	4
Total	100

---

(i) To Draw:

A histogram to depict the given information.

---

Solution (i):

The given class intervals (1-4, 4-6, etc.) are continuous ([1, 4), [4, 6), etc.) but have unequal widths.

Let's find the width of each class interval:

• 1 - 4: Width = $4 - 1 = 3$
• 4 - 6: Width = $6 - 4 = 2$
• 6 - 8: Width = $8 - 6 = 2$
• 8 - 12: Width = $12 - 8 = 4$
• 12 - 20: Width = $20 - 12 = 8$

The minimum class width is 2.

Since the class widths are unequal, we need to calculate the adjusted frequency (length of the rectangle) for each class to ensure the area of each bar is proportional to the frequency. The formula is:

Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{\text{Frequency}}{\text{Class Width}} \times \text{Minimum Class Width}$

Using the minimum class width as 2:

• Class 1 - 4: Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{6}{3} \times 2 = 2 \times 2 = 4$
• Class 4 - 6: Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{30}{2} \times 2 = 30$
• Class 6 - 8: Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{44}{2} \times 2 = 44$
• Class 8 - 12: Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{16}{4} \times 2 = 4 \times 2 = 8$
• Class 12 - 20: Adjusted Frequency = $\frac{4}{8} \times 2 = 0.5 \times 2 = 1$

---

Here is the table with class width, frequency, and adjusted frequency:

Number of letters	Class Width	Frequency	Adjusted Frequency ($\frac{\text{Frequency}}{\text{Width}} \times 2$)
1 - 4	3	6	4
4 - 6	2	30	30
6 - 8	2	44	44
8 - 12	4	16	8
12 - 20	8	4	1

---

Steps for Drawing the Histogram:

1. Draw the horizontal axis (representing Number of letters) and the vertical axis (representing Adjusted Frequency/Number of surnames per unit width).

2. Mark the class boundaries on the horizontal axis: 1, 4, 6, 8, 12, 20. Use a kink or break on the x-axis near the origin since the first interval starts at 1.

3. Represent the adjusted frequencies on the vertical axis. Choose a suitable scale (e.g., 1 unit = 5 adjusted frequency) to accommodate the maximum adjusted frequency (44).

4. Draw adjacent rectangles (bars) for each class interval. The base of each rectangle will be the class width on the x-axis, and the height will be the calculated adjusted frequency on the y-axis.

• Draw a bar from 1 to 4 on the x-axis with a height of 4 units on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 4 to 6 on the x-axis with a height of 30 units on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 6 to 8 on the x-axis with a height of 44 units on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 8 to 12 on the x-axis with a height of 8 units on the y-axis.
• Draw a bar from 12 to 20 on the x-axis with a height of 1 unit on the y-axis.

5. Label the x-axis as 'Number of letters' and the y-axis as 'Adjusted Frequency'.

6. Give the histogram a suitable title, e.g., "Histogram of Number of Letters in Surnames".

---

Follow these steps to construct the histogram with unequal class widths using the calculated adjusted frequencies as the heights of the bars.

---

(ii) To Find:

The class interval in which the maximum number of surnames lie.

---

Solution (ii):

We need to find the class interval with the highest frequency from the original table.

Looking at the 'Number of surnames (Frequency)' column:

• 1 - 4: Frequency = 6
• 4 - 6: Frequency = 30
• 6 - 8: Frequency = 44
• 8 - 12: Frequency = 16
• 12 - 20: Frequency = 4

The maximum frequency is 44, which corresponds to the class interval 6 - 8.

Note: While the histogram uses adjusted frequencies for correct area representation, the question asks for the interval with the maximum *number* of surnames, which is given by the frequency column.

---

The class interval in which the maximum number of surnames lie is 6 - 8.

Given:

The time (in hours) spent by 5 people in a week doing social work: 10, 7, 13, 20, 15.

Number of observations, $n = 5$.

---

To Find:

The mean (average) time spent per week.

---

Solution:

The mean of ungrouped data is calculated by the formula:

$ \text{Mean} (\overline{x}) = \frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Number of observations}} $

Sum of all observations = $10 + 7 + 13 + 20 + 15$

Sum of all observations = $65$

Number of observations, $n = 5$

Mean $(\overline{x}) = \frac{65}{5}$

Mean $(\overline{x}) = 13$

---

Alternatively, we can show the addition:

Sum of observations = $10 + 7 + 13 + 20 + 15$

$\begin{array}{cc} & 1 & 0 \\ & & 7 \\ & 1 & 3 \\ & 2 & 0 \\ + & 1 & 5 \\ \hline & 6 & 5 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Sum of observations = 65

Mean $(\overline{x}) = \frac{65}{5} = 13$

---

The mean time in a week devoted by them for social work is 13 hours.

The heights (in cm) of 9 students of a class are given as:

---

155, 160, 145, 149, 150, 147, 152, 144, 148

Given:

The points scored by a Kabaddi team in a series of matches:

17, 2, 7, 27, 15, 5, 14, 8, 10, 24, 48, 10, 8, 7, 18, 28.

---

To Find:

The median of the points scored.

---

Solution:

To find the median, we first need to arrange the data in ascending or descending order.

Let's arrange the data in ascending order:

2, 5, 7, 7, 8, 8, 10, 10, 14, 15, 17, 18, 24, 27, 28, 48

Count the number of observations, $n$. There are 16 observations.

Since $n=16$ is an even number, the median will be the average of the two middle observations.

The middle observations are the $\frac{n}{2}$-th and ($\frac{n}{2} + 1$)-th observations.

$\frac{n}{2} = \frac{16}{2} = 8$

$\frac{n}{2} + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9$

So, the median is the average of the 8th and 9th observations in the ordered list.

Ordered data:

1st: 2

2nd: 5

3rd: 7

4th: 7

5th: 8

6th: 8

7th: 10

8th: 10

9th: 14

10th: 15

11th: 17

12th: 18

13th: 24

14th: 27

15th: 28

16th: 48

The 8th observation is 10.

The 9th observation is 14.

Median = $\frac{\text{8th observation} + \text{9th observation}}{2}$

Median = $\frac{10 + 14}{2}$

Median = $\frac{24}{2}$

Median = 12

---

The median of the points scored by the team is 12.

Given:

The marks obtained by 20 students (out of 10):

4, 6, 5, 9, 3, 2, 7, 7, 6, 5, 4, 9, 10, 10, 3, 4, 7, 6, 9, 9.

---

To Find:

The mode of the marks.

---

Solution:

The mode of a dataset is the observation that occurs most frequently.

To find the mode, we can count the frequency of each distinct mark:

• Mark 2: 1 time
• Mark 3: 2 times
• Mark 4: 3 times
• Mark 5: 2 times
• Mark 6: 3 times
• Mark 7: 3 times
• Mark 9: 4 times
• Mark 10: 2 times

The mark with the highest frequency is 9, which occurs 4 times.

---

Alternatively, we can arrange the data in a frequency table:

Mark	Frequency
2	1
3	2
4	3
5	2
6	3
7	3
9	4
10	2

---

The maximum frequency in the table is 4, and this corresponds to the mark 9.

Therefore, the mode of the marks is 9.

Given:

Salaries of 5 employees in a factory unit.

4 labourers get $\textsf{₹}$ 5,000 each.

1 supervisor gets $\textsf{₹}$ 15,000.

The salaries are: 5000, 5000, 5000, 5000, 15000.

Number of observations, $n = 5$.

---

To Calculate:

The mean, median, and mode of the salaries.

---

Solution:

Mean:

Mean = $\frac{\text{Sum of salaries}}{\text{Number of employees}}$

Sum of salaries = $5000 + 5000 + 5000 + 5000 + 15000$

Sum of salaries = $4 \times 5000 + 15000$

Sum of salaries = $20000 + 15000$

Sum of salaries = $35000$

$\begin{array}{cc} & 2 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ + & 1 & 5 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \hline & 3 & 5 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Number of employees, $n = 5$

Mean = $\frac{35000}{5}$

Mean = $7000$

The mean salary is $\textsf{₹}$ 7,000.

---

Median:

To find the median, arrange the salaries in ascending order:

5000, 5000, 5000, 5000, 15000

The number of observations is $n = 5$, which is an odd number.

The median is the middle observation, which is the $(\frac{n+1}{2})$-th observation.

Median position = $\frac{5+1}{2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3$rd observation.

The 3rd observation in the ordered list is 5000.

The median salary is $\textsf{₹}$ 5,000.

---

Mode:

The mode is the observation that occurs most frequently.

In the list of salaries (5000, 5000, 5000, 5000, 15000), the salary $\textsf{₹}$ 5000 occurs 4 times, which is more frequent than $\textsf{₹}$ 15000 (occurs 1 time).

The mode salary is $\textsf{₹}$ 5,000.

---

Summary:

Mean salary = $\textsf{₹}$ 7,000

Median salary = $\textsf{₹}$ 5,000

Mode salary = $\textsf{₹}$ 5,000

---

Notice that in this case, the mean salary ($\textsf{₹}$ 7000) is higher than both the median and mode ($\textsf{₹}$ 5000). This is because the high salary of the supervisor affects the mean more than the median or mode. The median and mode provide a better representation of the typical salary for the majority of the employees in this unit.

Given:

The number of goals scored by a team in 10 matches:

2, 3, 4, 5, 0, 1, 3, 3, 4, 3.

Number of observations, $n = 10$.

---

To Find:

The mean, median, and mode of the scores.

---

Solution:

Mean:

Mean = $\frac{\text{Sum of scores}}{\text{Number of matches}}$

Sum of scores = $2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 0 + 1 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 3$

Sum of scores = $28$

$\begin{array}{cc} & 2 \\ & 3 \\ & 4 \\ & 5 \\ & 0 \\ & 1 \\ & 3 \\ & 3 \\ & 4 \\ + & 3 \\ \hline 2 & 8 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Number of matches, $n = 10$

Mean = $\frac{28}{10}$

Mean = 2.8

The mean number of goals scored is 2.8.

---

Median:

To find the median, first arrange the data in ascending order:

0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5

The number of observations is $n = 10$, which is an even number.

The median is the average of the two middle observations, which are the $\frac{n}{2}$-th and ($\frac{n}{2} + 1$)-th observations.

$\frac{n}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5$

$\frac{n}{2} + 1 = 5 + 1 = 6$

The median is the average of the 5th and 6th observations in the ordered list.

Ordered data:

1st: 0

2nd: 1

3rd: 2

4th: 3

5th: 3

6th: 3

7th: 3

8th: 4

9th: 4

10th: 5

The 5th observation is 3.

The 6th observation is 3.

Median = $\frac{\text{5th observation} + \text{6th observation}}{2}$

Median = $\frac{3 + 3}{2}$

Median = $\frac{6}{2}$

Median = 3

The median number of goals scored is 3.

---

Mode:

The mode is the observation that occurs most frequently.

From the ordered data (0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5), let's count the frequency of each score:

• Score 0: 1 time
• Score 1: 1 time
• Score 2: 1 time
• Score 3: 4 times
• Score 4: 2 times
• Score 5: 1 time

The score with the highest frequency is 3, which occurs 4 times.

The mode of the scores is 3.

---

Summary:

Mean = 2.8

Median = 3

Mode = 3

Given:

Marks obtained by 15 students in a mathematics test:

41, 39, 48, 52, 46, 62, 54, 40, 96, 52, 98, 40, 42, 52, 60.

Number of observations, $n = 15$.

---

To Find:

The mean, median, and mode of the marks.

---

Solution:

Mean:

Mean = $\frac{\text{Sum of marks}}{\text{Number of students}}$

Sum of marks = $41 + 39 + 48 + 52 + 46 + 62 + 54 + 40 + 96 + 52 + 98 + 40 + 42 + 52 + 60$

Sum of marks = $80 + 48 + 52 + 46 + 62 + 54 + 40 + 96 + 52 + 98 + 40 + 42 + 52 + 60$

Sum of marks = $128 + 52 + 46 + 62 + 54 + 40 + 96 + 52 + 98 + 40 + 42 + 52 + 60$

Sum of marks = $180 + 46 + 62 + 54 + 40 + 96 + 52 + 98 + 40 + 42 + 52 + 60$

Sum of marks = $288 + 54 + 40 + 96 + 52 + 98 + 40 + 42 + 52 + 60$

Sum of marks = $342 + 40 + 96 + 52 + 98 + 40 + 42 + 52 + 60$

Sum of marks = $382 + 96 + 52 + 98 + 40 + 42 + 52 + 60$

Sum of marks = $478 + 52 + 98 + 40 + 42 + 52 + 60$

Sum of marks = $530 + 98 + 40 + 42 + 52 + 60$

Sum of marks = $628 + 40 + 42 + 52 + 60$

Sum of marks = $668 + 42 + 52 + 60$

Sum of marks = $710 + 52 + 60$

Sum of marks = $762 + 60$

Sum of marks = $822$

Let's perform the addition using the array format:

$\begin{array}{cc} & 4 & 1 \\ & 3 & 9 \\ & 4 & 8 \\ & 5 & 2 \\ & 4 & 6 \\ & 6 & 2 \\ & 5 & 4 \\ & 4 & 0 \\ & 9 & 6 \\ & 5 & 2 \\ & 9 & 8 \\ & 4 & 0 \\ & 4 & 2 \\ & 5 & 2 \\ + & 6 & 0 \\ \hline & 8 & 2 & 2 \\ \hline \end{array}$

Sum of marks = 822

Number of students, $n = 15$

Mean = $\frac{822}{15}$

Performing division:

$\begin{array}{r} 54.8\phantom{)} \\ 15{\overline{\smash{\big)}\,822.0\phantom{)}}} \\ \underline{-~\phantom{(}75\phantom{2.0)}} \\ 72\phantom{.0)} \\ \underline{-~\phantom{()}60\phantom{..)}}\\ 120\phantom{)} \\ \underline{-~\phantom{(}120\phantom{)}}\\ 0\phantom{)} \end{array}$

Mean = 54.8

The mean mark is 54.8.

39, 40, 40, 41, 42, 46, 48, 52, 52, 52, 54, 60, 62, 96, 98

The number of observations is $n = 15$, which is an odd number.

The median is the middle observation, which is the $(\frac{n+1}{2})$-th observation.

Median position = $\frac{15+1}{2} = \frac{16}{2} = 8$th observation.

The 8th observation in the ordered list is 52.

12th: 60

13th: 62

14th: 96

15th: 98

The median mark is 52.

---

Mode:

The mode is the observation that occurs most frequently.

From the ordered data (39, 40, 40, 41, 42, 46, 48, 52, 52, 52, 54, 60, 62, 96, 98), let's count the frequency of each mark:

• Mark 39: 1 time
• Mark 40: 2 times
• Mark 41: 1 time
• Mark 42: 1 time
• Mark 46: 1 time
• Mark 48: 1 time
• Mark 52: 3 times
• Mark 54: 1 time
• Mark 60: 1 time
• Mark 62: 1 time
• Mark 96: 1 time
• Mark 98: 1 time

The mark with the highest frequency is 52, which occurs 3 times.

The mode of the marks is 52.

---

Summary:

Mean = 54.8

Median = 52

Mode = 52

Given:

The observations arranged in ascending order:

29, 32, 48, 50, $x$, $x+2$, 72, 78, 84, 95.

The median of the data is 63.

---

To Find:

The value of $x$.

---

Solution:

The number of observations, $n$, is 10.

Since $n=10$ is an even number, the median is the average of the two middle observations.

The positions of the middle observations are $\frac{n}{2}$ and $\frac{n}{2} + 1$.

$\frac{n}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5$th observation

$\frac{n}{2} + 1 = 5 + 1 = 6$th observation

The 5th observation in the ordered list is $x$.

The 6th observation in the ordered list is $x+2$.

---

The median is given by the formula:

Median = $\frac{\text{5th observation} + \text{6th observation}}{2}$

We are given that the median is 63.

So, $63 = \frac{x + (x+2)}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 2:

$63 \times 2 = 2x + 2$

$126 = 2x + 2$

Subtract 2 from both sides:

$126 - 2 = 2x$

$124 = 2x$

Divide by 2:

$x = \frac{124}{2}$

$x = 62$

---

Let's check if the value of $x$ fits the ascending order:

The 5th observation is $x = 62$.

The 6th observation is $x+2 = 62+2 = 64$.

The ordered list with $x=62$ is: 29, 32, 48, 50, 62, 64, 72, 78, 84, 95.

This list is indeed in ascending order (50 < 62, 64 < 72), so the value of $x=62$ is consistent.

---

The value of $x$ is 62.

Given:

The data set: 14, 25, 14, 28, 18, 17, 18, 14, 23, 22, 14, 18.

---

To Find:

The mode of the data.

---

Solution:

The mode is the observation that occurs most frequently in the data set.

Let's count the frequency of each distinct observation:

• 14: occurs 4 times (14, 14, 14, 14)
• 17: occurs 1 time (17)
• 18: occurs 3 times (18, 18, 18)
• 22: occurs 1 time (22)
• 23: occurs 1 time (23)
• 25: occurs 1 time (25)
• 28: occurs 1 time (28)

The observation with the highest frequency is 14, which occurs 4 times.

---

Alternatively, we can arrange the data in ascending order and then count frequencies:

14, 14, 14, 14, 17, 18, 18, 18, 22, 23, 25, 28.

Counting occurrences:

• 14: 4 times
• 17: 1 time
• 18: 3 times
• 22: 1 time
• 23: 1 time
• 25: 1 time
• 28: 1 time

The value 14 has the maximum frequency (4).

---

The mode of the given data is 14.

Given:

Salary (in $\textsf{₹}$) ($x_i$)	Number of workers (Frequency, $f_i$)
3000	16
4000	12
5000	10
6000	8
7000	6
8000	4
9000	3
10000	1
Total	$\sum f_i = 60$

To Find:

The mean salary of the workers.

---

Solution:

The mean for this type of data (discrete data with frequencies) is calculated using the formula:

Mean $(\overline{x}) = \frac{\sum (x_i \times f_i)}{\sum f_i}$

First, let's calculate the product of each salary ($x_i$) and its corresponding number of workers ($f_i$), i.e., $x_i f_i$.

• $3000 \times 16 = 48000$
• $4000 \times 12 = 48000$
• $5000 \times 10 = 50000$
• $6000 \times 8 = 48000$
• $7000 \times 6 = 42000$
• $8000 \times 4 = 32000$
• $9000 \times 3 = 27000$
• $10000 \times 1 = 10000$

Now, let's sum up these products ($\sum x_i f_i$).

$\sum x_i f_i = 48000 + 48000 + 50000 + 48000 + 42000 + 32000 + 27000 + 10000$

$\sum x_i f_i = 96000 + 50000 + 48000 + 42000 + 32000 + 27000 + 10000$

$\sum x_i f_i = 146000 + 48000 + 42000 + 32000 + 27000 + 10000$

$\sum x_i f_i = 194000 + 42000 + 32000 + 27000 + 10000$

$\sum x_i f_i = 236000 + 32000 + 27000 + 10000$

$\sum x_i f_i = 268000 + 27000 + 10000$

$\sum x_i f_i = 295000 + 10000$

$\sum x_i f_i = 305000$

Let's perform the addition using the array format:

$\begin{array}{ccccccc} & & 4 & 8 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ & & 4 & 8 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ & & 5 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ & & 4 & 8 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ & & 4 & 2 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ & & 3 & 2 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ & & 2 & 7 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ + & & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \hline & 3 & 0 & 5 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \hline \end{array}$

$\sum x_i f_i = 305000$

The total number of workers is $\sum f_i = 60$.

Mean salary = $\frac{305000}{60}$

Mean salary = $\frac{30500}{6}$

Performing division:

$\begin{array}{r} 5083.33\dots\phantom{)} \\ 6{\overline{\smash{\big)}\,30500.00\phantom{)}}} \\ \underline{-~\phantom{(}30\phantom{500.00)}}\\ 05\phantom{00.00)} \\ \underline{-~\phantom{()}0\phantom{00.00)}}\\ 50\phantom{0.00)} \\ \underline{-~\phantom{()}48\phantom{.00)}}\\ 20\phantom{.00)} \\ \underline{-~\phantom{()}18\phantom{..0)}}\\ 20\phantom{.0)} \\ \underline{-~\phantom{()}18\phantom{...)}}\\ 2\phantom{...)} \end{array}$

Mean salary = 5083.33...

Rounding to two decimal places, the mean salary is approximately $\textsf{₹}$ 5083.33.

The mean salary of 60 workers of the factory is approximately $\textsf{₹}$ 5083.33.

Here are examples for the given situations:

---

(i) Example where the mean is an appropriate measure of central tendency:

Consider the heights of all students in a class. In this case, the distribution of heights is typically symmetrical and there are usually no extreme outlier values that would significantly skew the average. The mean height would provide a good representation of the typical height of a student in that class.

For example, if the heights of 5 students are 155 cm, 158 cm, 160 cm, 162 cm, and 165 cm, the data is relatively close together. The mean would be $\frac{155+158+160+162+165}{5} = \frac{800}{5} = 160$ cm, which feels like a good average.

---

(ii) Example where the mean is not an appropriate measure of central tendency but the median is appropriate:

Consider the salaries of employees in a company that has many entry-level workers and a few highly paid executives. The distribution of salaries is likely to be skewed, with most salaries clustered at the lower end and a few very high salaries. In this scenario, the mean salary would be significantly influenced by the high salaries of the executives, resulting in an average that is higher than what most employees actually earn.

For example, consider a small company with 10 employees: 9 employees earn $\textsf{₹}$ 20,000 per month, and 1 executive earns $\textsf{₹}$ 200,000 per month.

The mean salary = $\frac{(9 \times 20000) + 200000}{10} = \frac{180000 + 200000}{10} = \frac{380000}{10} = \textsf{₹}$ 38,000.

The median salary: Arranging salaries in order: 20000, 20000, 20000, 20000, 20000, 20000, 20000, 20000, 20000, 200000. The median is the average of the 5th and 6th values: $\frac{20000 + 20000}{2} = \textsf{₹}$ 20,000.

In this case, the mean ($\textsf{₹}$ 38,000) does not represent the typical salary (most employees earn $\textsf{₹}$ 20,000). The median salary ($\textsf{₹}$ 20,000) is a much better indicator of what a typical employee earns in this company because it is not affected by the single outlier high salary.
