MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY MCQs
:
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.

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 140140−145145−150150−155155−160160−165Cumulative 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.

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

The given table can be written as:
Marks0−1010−2020−3030−4040−50 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.
:
D
Range is the difference between the largest and the smallest observation.
Range = 34-(-10)=44

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