Question 1. If the preceding and succeeding classes of the modal class have the same frequency, then the mode will be at the midpoint of the modal class.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Frequency of the class succeeding the modal class
  4.    Frequency of median class

Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
The formula for the mode is as follows.
Mode=l+(f1f02f1f0f2)×h
l= lower boundary of the modal class
h= size of the modal class interval
f1= frequency of the modal class.
f0= frequency of the class preceding the modal class
f2=frequency of the class succeeding the modal class
If the preceding and succeeding classes have the same frequency, then f0=f2=f(say).
Then the equation reduces to
Mode=l+(f1f2f1ff)×h
Mode=l+(f1f2(f1f))×h
Mode=l+12×h, which is the midpointof the modal class.
If the preceding and succeeding classes of the modal class have the same frequency, then the mode will be at the midpoint of the modal class.
Question 2. The class mark for a class interval while calculating the mean is its upper limit.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Frequency of the class succeeding the modal class
  4.    Frequency of median class
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
The class mark is the midpoint of the lower and upper limits of a class. It is calculated by taking the average of the upper and lower limits i.e.
Class mark = Upperlimit+Lowerlimit2
Question 3. Mode is
  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 4. Use the empirical relationship and find the value of mode when the value of median and mean are 6 and 7 respectively.
  1.    4
  2.    3
  3.    6
  4.    7
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 4
:
A
We know that,
3 Median = Mode + 2 Mean
or
Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mean
= 3×62×7
= 18 - 14
= 4
Therefore, mode = 4
Question 5. If the median of the following data is 50, then find p.
ClassFrequency0 - 201020 - 40740  - 601660 - 80p80 - 1008

Answer: Option D. -> 9
:
D
ClassFrequencyCumulativeFrequency0 - 20101020 - 4071740 - 60163360 - 80p33+p80 -100841+p
Since median is 50, median class is 40-60.
Using
Median=l+[n2cff]×h,
Here,n=41+p,
n2=(41+p)2
Now,50=40+[(41+p)21716×20]
10=[(41+p34)216×20]
10=[(7+p)16×2×20]
Simplifying, we get (7+p)16=1
7+p=16
p=9
Question 6. In the assumed mean method, if A is the assumed mean, then deviation di is : 
  1.    xi−A
  2.    xi+A
  3.    xi
  4.    A−xi
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> xi−A
:
A
In statistics, 'theassumed mean' is a method for calculating the arithmeticmeanand standard deviation of a data set. It simplifies calculating accurate values by hand.
During the application of the short-cut method for finding the mean, the deviation d, are divisible by a common number ‘h’.In this case, the di = xi – A is reduced to a great extent as 'di' becomes dih.In this method,we divide the deviations by the same number to simplify calculations.The deviation is di=xiA
Question 7. 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:
Marks0101020203030404050No. of students551389CumulativeFrequency510233140
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 8. The average  marks  of  the students in Mathematics of class 8th is 45. But most of the students were given 60 out of 100.The Median of the class would be:
  1.    30
  2.    40
  3.    50
  4.    60
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 50
:
C
Mean = 45 and Mode = 60
3 Median = Mode +2 Mean
3 Median = 60 +2(45)
3 Median = 150

Median=50
Question 9. Which of the following expressions is used to determine the mode?
  1.    l+(f1−f02f1−f0−f2) ×h
  2.    1+(f1−f0f1−f0−f2) ×h
  3.    1+(f1−f02f2−f0−f2) ×h
  4.    2f1−f02f1−f0−f2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> l+(f1−f02f1−f0−f2) ×h
:
A
l+(f1f02f1f0f2) ×his used to determine the mode .
A mode is that value among the observations which occurs most often, that is, the value of the observation having the maximum frequency.
