(Refer the pie chart given below)

The Proportion Of Time Spent In The Gym By A Person Is ____....
  1.    12
  2.    112
  3.    13
  4.    25
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 112
:
B
Totalhours(as per the pie chart)= 12 + 2 + 2 + 8 = 24 hours
Total number of hours spent in the gym = 2 hours
The proportion of time spent in gym
=hours spent in the gymtotal number of hours=224=112
Question 12. In a class, the teacher asks the students to name few scientists. The names that students told were -

From the above frequnecy table, we find that the maximum frequency is 4 which corresponds to Einstein.
Hence, Einstein is the name whose frequency is the highest.
Question 13. In a game of cards, 7 cards are taken and numbered 1 to 7. The probability of getting an even number and the probability of getting an odd number are equal.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    14
  4.    12
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
The cards are numbered as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
Total number of outcomes = 7
Number of odd numbers (favourable outcomes) = 4
Number of even numbers (favourable outcomes) = 3
Probability=Number of favourable outcomesTotal Number of outcomes
Probability of getting odd number
=Number of odd numbered cardsTotal number of cards;
=47
Probability of getting even number
=Number of even numbered cardsTotal number of cards
=37
Probabilities are different. Hence, the statement is false.
Question 14. Arrange the given heights of 20 students in grouped distribution with a class interval of 5. The number of students above the height of 169cm is ___ Heights (in cm): 150, 153, 162, 170, 186, 153, 162, 180, 165, 150, 178, 156, 184, 176, 173, 186, 159, 183, 180, 156.

Question 15. The Above Pie Chart Depicts The Percentage Of Students Being...
The above pie chart depicts the percentage of students being girls and boys in the mechanical branch of NIT Trichy college. If the red coloured portion represents the boys' percentage then what is the percentage of girls in the class?
  1.    10%
  2.    75%
  3.    25%
  4.    5%
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 25%
:
C
The total area of the pie chart(gilrs and boys) = 100%
The white region is the percentage of girls = 100% – percentage of boys
100% -75% = 25 %
The percentage of the girls in the class is 25%
Question 16. A bag has 6 red balls and 8 green balls. A ball is drawn from a bag without looking into the bag. What is the probability of getting a green ball?
  1.    34
  2.    114
  3.    37
  4.    47
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 47
:
D
Probability=Number of favourable outcomesTotal Number of outcomes
Number of green balls (favourable outcomes) =8
Total number of balls (total outcomes) = 14
So probability of getting a green ball
=Number of green ballsTotal number of balls =814 =47
Question 17. A bag contains 1 red ball, 1 green ball, 2 blue balls and 1 black ball. What is the probability of getting a white ball?
  1.    0
  2.    15
  3.    14
  4.    1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 0
:
A
