  1.     15.55
  2.     15.35

Answer: Option A. -> 15.55
:
A

Mean of ungrouped frequency distribution is given by


¯x=ni=1fixini=1fi
=(10×2+13×5+16×7+19×6)(2+5+7+6)
=31120
Therefore, the mean of the data is 15.55. 


Question 42.


Modes of transport of 1700 students of NIT Warangal is shown in the graph below.
Modes Of Transport Of 1700 Students Of NIT Warangal Is Shown...
Which of the following options are correct?


  1.     350 students prefer to travel by bus.
  2.     Cycle is the least preferred mode of transport.
  3.     Bike is more preferred as compared to metro.
  4.     Car is the most common mode of transport.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 350 students prefer to travel by bus.
:
A and B
We can observe from the graph:
Number of students using car = 250
Number of students using bike = 425
Number of students using bus = 350
Number of students using metro = 450
Number of students using cycle = 225
So, option A is correct. Also, cycle has the least frequency. So option B is also correct.
The frequency of metro is higher than the frequency of bike. So, option C is incorrect.
Also, D is incorrect as car doesn't have the highest frequency.
Question 43.


The heights (in cm) of students of a class is tabulated below.

Identify the correct option (s).


  1.     The class distribution is discontinuous
  2.     Number of students having height in range of 160-174 cm is 5
  3.     The data can not be changed into continuous class interval form
  4.     The range of data is 39
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> The class distribution is discontinuous
:
A, B, and D

In the given table, the upper limit of a class does not coincide with the lower limit of the succeeding class, so the class intervals are not continuous and option A is correct. 
Also the number of students in the range of 160 cm -174 cm = 2+1+2 = 5. Hence, option B is correct.
Also, any data having discontinuous class intervals can be converted into one with continuous class intervals. Hence, C is incorrect.
Range of data = Total width of data = 189-150 = 39.


Question 44.


Find the median of the following data: 13, 15, 18, 14, 22, 42, 9, 6, 15, 21.


  1.     14
  2.     15
  3.     16
  4.     17
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 15
:
B

Median is the middle observation of the given data, when arranged in either ascending or descending order.
Arranging the observations in ascending order, we get 
6, 9, 13 , 14, 15, 15, 18, 21, 22, 42


Since, there are even number of observations.
Now median, 
=  Average of ( n2)th observation and  (n2+1)th observation
=   5th term +  6th term2   
= 15+152
= 15
Thus, median of the given data is 15.


Question 45.


Bar graphs are usually used to represent 'categorical data' while histogram are usually used for 'continuous data' .


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     12.5
  4.     15
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

Bar graphs are usually used to display "categorical data" i.e. data that fits into categories. Histograms, on the other hand, are usually used to present "continuous data", 


Question 46.


The mean of 5 observations is 12. If the mean of the first 3 observations is 10, then find the mean of the other two.


  1.     10
  2.     12
  3.     12.5
  4.     15
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 15
:
D

Let, the observations be a, b, c, d, e.
We know that,
Mean = Sum of all observationsNumber of observations
Now,
mean of 5 observations = 12
a+b+c+d+e5=12 
a+b+c+d+e=60.....(i) 
It is also given that the mean of the first three observations is 10
a+b+c3=10
 a+b+c=30...........(ii)
From (i) and (ii) we get
d + e = 30
Hence, the mean of the other two observations i.e. 'd' and 'e' is
=d+e2=15


Question 47.


A __________ is a pictorial representation of data in which rectangular bars of uniform width are drawn with equal spacing between them, with their widths usually placed on the x-axis and the frequency on the y-axis.


  1.     Bar Graph
  2.     Histogram
  3.     Frequency Polygon
  4.     Pie Chart
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Bar Graph
:
A
The given description is the one about a bar graph. In a bar graph, rectangular bars of uniform width are drawn with equal spacing between them on one of the coordinate axes, usually the x-axis, to represent the type of variables. The frequency of variable is projected on the other axis i.e. the y-axis.
Question 48.


Histogram and bar graph are two names of the same type of graph.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     22
  4.     18
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
A bar graph is used to represent data that have different categories while histogram is used to represent classes that are continuous by bars which are side-by-side. Thus they both  are different.
Question 49.


The following figure shows a histogram and corresponding frequency polygon. The data shows the number of victims suffering from a disease 'X' in various months of 2012. 
The Following Figure Shows A Histogram And Corresponding Fre...
Identify the correct statement(s) among the following.


  1.     The area under the frequency polygon is equal to the sum of areas of all bars of the histogram.
  2.     Least number of victims are seen in February.
  3.     June has the highest frequency of victims.
  4.     The frequency graph is incorrect.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> The area under the frequency polygon is equal to the sum of areas of all bars of the histogram.
:
A and C
From the definition, the area under frequency polygon is same as the sum of the areas of all the bars of the histogram provided the class size of all classes is the same. Hence option A is correct.
Also, we can see that the bar of February is not the smallest. Hence, option B is incorrect.
The bar of June is highest, so option C is correct.
Also, the frequency polygon is correctly drawn joining all the class marks and starting and ending at 0 so option D is not correct.
Question 50.


In a cricket tournament, the total runs scored by 10 batsmen are:-


212, 134, 101, 89, 45, 121, 323, 202, 76, 87              


The median of this data is


___.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> The area under the frequency polygon is equal to the sum of areas of all bars of the histogram.
:

To obtain the median of a given set of data, we have to arrange the data in ascending or descending order. After arranging in ascending order, we get
45, 76, 87, 89, 101, 121, 134, 202, 212, 323.
Here, we have even number of observations i.e. n = 10. So, we will obtain the median by taking the mean of the value of 5th and 6th observation i.e. 101+1212=111
