Question 1.


Find the mode of the following data.
21417111572081710820183


  1.     8
  2.     11
  3.     17
  4.     20
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 8
:
A
Mode is the most common observation. In the given data, 8 occurs 3 times, more than any other number. Hence, the mode is 8.
Question 2.


The median class for the given data is


Height (in cm) Less than 140 Less  than 145 Less than 150Less than 155Less than 160Less than 165No. of girls41129404651


  1.     145 - 150
  2.     150 - 155
  3.     155 - 160
  4.     160 - 165
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 145 - 150
:
A

The given table can be written as:
Height (in cm) Less than 140 Less  than 145 Less than 150Less than 155Less than 160Less than 165No. of girls41129404651
Height (in cm) Less than 140140145145150150155155160160165Cumulative Frequency41129404651
n = 51
n2=512
                                     = 25.5
Since there are a total of 51 observations, the median class is the one whose cumulative frequency is closest to and greater than 25.5. The cumulative frequency for the class '145 - 150' is 29 which is greater than 25.5. The median class is '140 - 145'. Thus, the class interval '145 - 150' is the required answer.


Question 3.


Mode is the ___ .


  1.     Most frequent value
  2.     Least frequent value
  3.     Middle most value
  4.     Average value
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Most frequent value
:
A

Mode is the most frequently observed value.

Question 5.


The mean ¯x of a discrete series of data is given by:


  1.     FXF
  2.     FFX
  3.     XF
  4.     FXX
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> FXF
:
A

The mean of the data is the sum of the values of all the observations divided by the total number of observations.


Question 6.


For calculating the mean of grouped data, the mid point of each class interval is chosen to represent all the observations from that class.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     97.47
  4.     103.26
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

For calculating the mean of grouped data, the midpoint of each class interval is chosen to represent all the observations from that class. The midpoint is called the class midpoint or class mark.


Question 7.


The following data shows monthly savings of 100 families, the difference between modal and mean monthly savings lies between ___. (Given that modal class is the class having the highest frequency)


        Monthly savings(Rs)                Number of families        10002000142000300015300040002140005000275000600025


  1.     600-700
  2.     700-800
  3.     800-900
  4.     900-1000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 800-900
:
C

Modal class is 4000-5000
l=4000; D1=2721=6
D2=2725=2;h=1000


Mode=l+(D1D1+D2)×h4000+68×1000=750


Mean=FXF=391000100=3910


Difference between mode and mean
= 4750 – 3910 = 840
840 lies between 800 and 900.


Question 8.


The median class for the following data is
   MarksBelow 10Below 20Below 30Below 40Below 50 No. of  students 510233140


  1.     10 - 20
  2.     20 - 30
  3.     30 - 40
  4.     40 - 50
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 20 - 30
:
B

The given table can be written as:
  Marks0101020203030404050 No. of students551389 Cumulative Frequency510233140
No. of students can be calculated as follows:
5
10 - 5 = 5
23 - 10 = 13
31 - 23 = 8
40 - 31 = 9
n2=402=20
Since there are a total of 40 observations, the median class is the one whose cumulative frequency is closest to and greater than 20.
Here the cumulative frequency for the class interval '10 - 20' is 23 which is greater than 20.
The class interval 20 - 30 is the required answer.


Question 9.


Find the range of the following data
9262910622734241231330234139564


  1.     25
  2.     34
  3.     43
  4.     44
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 44
:
D

Range is the difference between the largest and the smallest observation.
Range = 34-(-10)=44


Question 10.


In the formula ¯x=A+FDD , the A stands for assumed mean.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     30 - 40
  4.     40 - 50
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

¯x=A+FDF


In the formula, the A stands for the assumed mean.
