Answer: Option C. -> 82
:
C
The number of atheletes who completed the race in less than 14.6
= 2 + 4 + 5 + 71
= 82
Question 22. The median for grouped data is formed by using the formula:
  1.    l+(n2−cff ) ×h
  2.    l−(n2−cff ) ×h.
  3.    l+(n2+cff ) ×h.
  4.    l+2n
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> l+(n2−cff ) ×h
:
A
The median for grouped data is formed by l+(n2cff ) ×h.
Where l is lower class limit of median class.
n is total number of observations.
cf is the cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class.
f is the frequency of the median class and h is the class size.
Question 23. 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
The deviation is di=xiA
Question 24. A survey was conducted on 20 families in a locality by a group of students .What will be the mode of the data?

  2.    22.86
  3.    23.87
  4.    24.87
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 22.86
:
B
Using, Mode = l+f1f02f1f0f2×h
where,
Maximum class frequency, f1=8
The class corresponding to the frequency =2040
Lower limit of the modal class, l=20
Frequency of class preceding the modal class, f0=7
Frequency of class succeeding the modal class, f2=2
Now,Mode=20+871672×20
Mode=20+17×20
Mode=22.86
Question 25. Which of the following represents an empirical relationship between Median, Mode and Mean?
  1.    3 Mode= Median + 2 Mean
  2.    Mode =3 Median - 2 Mean
  3.    3 Mean= Median + 2 Mode
  4.    can't say.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Mode =3 Median - 2 Mean
:
B
The empirical relationship between Median, Mode and Mean is Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mean
Question 26. The mean ¯x of a grouped data is given by:
  1.    ∑fixi∑fi
  2.    ∑fixi
  3.    ∑xifi
  4.    ∑fixi∑x.f
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> ∑fixi∑fi
:
A
For grouped data, using the direct method first, we find the sum of the values of all the observations after multiplying them with their respective frequencies. Then we divide this result by the total number of observations (sum of all frequencies).
Question 27. In the ___ method of calculating mean we divide the deviations by the same number to simplify calculations.
 Discuss Question

:
The method in question is the step-deviation method.
Question 28. 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)Lessthan140Lessthan 145Less than 150Lessthan155Lessthan 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 29. The median for the data is

n2=30.
So, the median class is the one whose cumulative frequency is closest to and greater than 30.
the median class is 100-110
Median=l+(n2cff)×h
Where l is lower class limit of median class.
n is total number of observations.
cf is the cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class.
f is the frequency of the median class and h is the class size.
Median=100+302614×10
Median=102.86

  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
¯x=A+fidifi
In the formula, the A stands for the assumed mean.
