Question 52.


The median class for the following data is

  1.     10 - 20
  2.     20 - 30
  3.     30 - 40
  4.     40 - 50

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 53.


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

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 54.


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


Question 55.


In the ___ method of calculating mean we divide the deviations by the same number to simplify calculations.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 102.86
:

The method in question is the step-deviation method.


Question 56.


The mean ¯x of a grouped data is given by:


  1.     fixifi
  2.     fixi
  3.     xifi
  4.     fixix.f
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> fixifi
:
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 57.


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 58.


A survey was conducted on 20 families in a locality by a group of students .What will be the mode of the data?


Age of family member02020404060608080100 Number of students78221


  1.     21.85
  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 59.


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 60.


Which of the following expressions is used to determine the mode?


  1.     l+(f1f02f1f0f2) ×h
  2.     1+(f1f0f1f0f2) ×h
  3.     1+(f1f02f2f0f2) ×h
  4.     2f1f02f1f0f2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> l+(f1f02f1f0f2) ×h
:
A

l+(f1f02f1f0f2) ×h is 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.
