## Haryana Board 10th Class Maths Important Questions Chapter 14 Statistics

Question 1.
Per day expenses of 25 families of the frequency distribution of a Dhani of a village is given as follows:

Find the mean expense of families by direct method.
Solution :
We prepare the cumulative frequency table as given :

 Per day expense (in ₹) Number of families (fi) class mark (xi) fixi 25-35 3 30 90 35-45 7 40 280 45-55 6 50 300 55-65 6 60 360 65-75 3 70 210 Total Σfi = 25 Σfixi = 1240

∴ mean = $$=\frac{\Sigma f_i x_i}{\Sigma f_i}$$
= $$\frac {1240}{25}$$
= ₹ 49.6
Hence, mean expense of families = ₹ 49.6

Question 2.
The following distribution shows the daily pocket allowance of children of a locality.

Find the mean daily pocket allowance by using appropriate method.
Solution :

 Daily pocket allowance (in ₹) Number of children (fi) class mark (xi) fixi 10-20 3 15 45 20-30 5 25 125 30-40 4 35 140 40-50 7 45 315 50-60 6 55 330 Total Σfi = 25 Σfixi = 955

∴ mean = $$=\frac{\Sigma f_i x_i}{\Sigma f_i}$$
= $$\frac {955}{25}$$ = ₹ 38.2
Hence, mean daily pocket allowance = ₹ 38.2

Question 3.
The marks obtained by 110 students in an examination are given below :

Find the mean marks of students.
Solution :

Hence, mean marks of students = 44.82

Question 4.
The following data gives the information on the observed life times (in hours) of 200 electrical components.

Determine the modal lifetimes of the components.
Solution :
The class interval 80 – 100 has maximum frequency. So, it is the modal class.
∴ l = 80, f1 = 65, f0 = 38, f2 = 24, h = 20

Hence, modal lifetimes of components = 87.94 hours.

Question 5.
Find the mode of the following distribution.

Solution:
The class interval 35 – 40 has maximum frequency. So, it is the modal class.
∴ l = 35, f1 = 50, f0= 34, f2 = 42, h = 5

Question 6.
Find the mode of the following frequency distribution.

Solution :
The class interval 30 – 40 has maximum frequency. So, it is the modal class.
∴ l = 30, f1 = 16, f0 = 10, f2 = 12, h = 10

Question 7.
If the median of the following frequency distribution is 32.5. Find the values of f1 and f2.

Solution :
Let us prepare the cumulative frequency distribution table as given below.

 Class Interval Frequency Cumulative frequency (c.f.) 0 – 10 f1 f1 10 – 20 5 f1 + 5 20 – 30 9 f1 + 14 30 – 40 12 f1 + 26 40 – 50 f2 f1 + f2 + 26 50 – 60 3 f1 + f2 + 29 60 – 70 2 f1 + f2 + 31 Total n = Σfi = 40

Here, n = 40
⇒ fi + f2 + 31 = 40
⇒ fi + f2 = 9
Median is 32.5, which lies in the class interval 30 – 40, So the median class is 30 – 40.
l = 30, f = 12, cf = f1 + 14, h = 10

Putting the value of f1 in equation (1), we get
3 + f2 = 9
f2 = 6
Hence, f1 = 3, f2 = 6

Question 8.
On the annual day of school agewise participation of students is given in the following distribution table.

 Age (in years) Number of students Less than 6 2 Less than 8 6 Less than 10 12 Less than 12 22 Less than 14 42 Less than 16 67 Less than 18 76

Find the median of students and get the median graphically.
Solution :
We convert the cumulative frequency table into depicting class intervals with their respective frequencies as given below :

$$\frac {n}{2}$$ = $$\frac {76}{2}$$ = 38
But 38 comes under the cumulative frequency 42 and the class interval against cumulative frequency 42 is 12 – 14. So, it is the median class.
Here, l = 12, f = 20, cf = 22, h = 2

We plots the points (6, 2), (8, 6), (10, 12), (12, 22), (14, 22), (16, 67), (18, 76) on the graph paper joining these points with a free hand to get less than curve as shown in a graph. We have n = 38.

Now, locate the point on the ogive where, ordinate is 38. The n coordinate corresponding to this ordinate is 13.6. Therefore required median on the graph is 13.6.

Question 9.
The following table gives production on yield per hectare of wheat of 100 farms of a village.

 Production Yield Number of farms 40 – 45 4 45 – 50 6 50 – 55 16 55 – 60 20 60 – 65 30 65 – 70 24

Change the distribution of a more than type distribution and draw its ogive.
Solution :
We prepare the cumulative frequency table by more than type method as given :

$$\frac {n}{2}$$ = $$\frac {100}{2}$$ = 50
We plots the points (40, 100), (45, 96), (50, 90), (55, 74), (60, 54) and (65, 24) on the graph paper. Joining these points with a free hand to obtain more than type ogive curve as shown in a graph.

 Classes Number of farmers 0 – 15 6 15 – 30 8 30 – 45 10 45 – 60 6 60 – 75 4

Solution :
We prepare the cumulative frequency table by less than type method as given :

We plots the points (15, 6), (30, 14), (45, 24), (60, 30) and (75, 34) on the graph paper. Joining these points with a free hand to obtain less than type ogive curve as shown in graph.

 Daily income of workers (in ₹) Number of Workers 200 – 300 12 300 – 400 18 400 – 500 35 500 – 600 20 600 – 700 15

Convert this table to a cumulative frequency distribution table of more than type.
Solution :
We prepare the cumulative frequency table by more than type method as given :

We plots the points (200, 100), (300, 88), (400, 70), (500, 35) and (600, 15) on the graph paper. Joining these points with a free hand to obtain more than type ogive curve as shown in a graph.

Multiple Choice Questions

Choose the correct answer each of the following:

Question 1.
If xis are the midpoints of the class intervals of grouped data, fis are the corresponding frequencies and $$\bar{x}$$ is the mean, then Σ(fixi – $$\bar{x}$$) is equal :
(a) 0
(b) – 1
(c) 1
(d) 2
Solution :
(a) 0

We know that the mean of the data is given by
$$\bar{x}$$ = $$\frac{Σfixi}{x}$$
where n = Σfi
∴ Σ(fixi – $$\bar{x}$$) = Σfixi – Σ$$\bar{x}$$
= n$$\bar{x}$$ – n$$\bar{x}$$
= 0 [∵ x$$\bar{i}$$ = n$$\bar{x}$$]
Hence, correct choice is (a).

Question 2.
If the mode of a data is 18 and mean is 24, then median is
(a) 18
(b) 24
(c) 22
(d) 21
Solution :
(c) 22

mode = 18, mean = 24,
∵ 3 median = mode + 2 mean
= 18 + 2 (24)
= 18 + 48 = 66
∴ median = $$\frac {66}{3}$$ = 22
Hence, correct choice is (c).

Question 3.
Mode of data 2, 3, 5, 2, 3, 6, 5, 2, 2, 5, 7, 4, 4, is:
(a) 5
(b) 3
(c) 2
(d) 4
Solution :
(c) 2

Here frequency of 2 is 4 so mode = 2.
Hence, correct choice is (c).

Question 4.
For the following distribution :

The modal class is:
(a) 10-20
(b) 20-30
(c) 30-40
(d) 50-60
Solution :
(c) 30-40

 Marks Number of students CF Below 10 3 = 3 3 10 – 20 12 – 3 = 9 12 20 – 30 27 – 12  = 15 27 30 – 40 57 – 27 = 30 57 40 – 50 75 – 57 = 18 75 50 – 60 80 – 75 = 5 80

Here the heighest frequency is 30, which likes in the interval 30 – 40.
Hence correct choice is (c).

Question 5.
In an arranged discrete series in which total number of observations n is even, median is:
(a) ($$\frac {n}{2}$$)th terms
(b) ($$\frac {n}{2}$$ + 1)th terms
(c) The mean of ($$\frac {n}{2}$$)th term and ($$\frac {n}{2}$$ + 1)th term
(d) none of these
Solution :
(c) The mean of ($$\frac {n}{2}$$)th term and ($$\frac {n}{2}$$ + 1)th term

When n is even then median
The mean of ($$\frac {n}{2}$$)th term and ($$\frac {n}{2}$$ + 1)th term
So correct choice is (c).

Question 6.
While computing mean of grouped data, we assume that the frequencies are :
(a) evenly distributed over all the classes
(b) centred at the class marks of the classes
(c) centred at the upper limits of the classes
(d) centred at the lower limits of the classes
Solution :
(b) centred at the class marks of the classes

In computing the mean of grouped data, the frequencies are centered at the class marks of the classes.
Hence, the option (b) is correct.

Question 7.
The cumulative frequency table is useful in determining the:
(a) mean
(b) median
(c) mode
(d) all of these
Solution :
(b) median

Question 8.
For the following distribution :

The sum of lower limits of the median class and modal class is:
(a) 15
(b) 25
(c) 30
(d) 35
Solution :
(b) 25

 Class Frequency CF 0 – 5 10 10 5 – 10 15 24 10 – 15 12 37 15 – 20 20 57 20 – 25 9 66

Now $$\frac {N}{2}$$ = $$\frac {66}{2}$$ = 33
Which lies in the interval 10 – 15.
Therefore lower limit of the median class is 10.
The highest frequency is 20, which lies in the interval 15 – 20, therefore lower limit of modal class is 15. Hence required sum is 10 + 15 = 25.
Hence correct choice is (b).
