Exercise 14.2

1. The blood groups of 30 students of Class VIII are recorded as follows:
A, B, O, O, AB, O, A, O, B, A, O, B, A, O, O,
A, AB, O, A, A, O, O, AB, B, A, O, B, A, B, O.
Represent this data in the form of a frequency distribution table. Which is the most common, and which is the rarest, blood group among these students?

Construct a grouped frequency distribution table with class size 5 for the data given above taking the first interval as 0-5 (5 not included). What main features do you observe from this tabular representation?

Answer

The given data is very large. So, we construct a group frequency of class size 5. Therefore, class interval will be 0-5, 5-10, 10-15, 15-20 and so on. The data is represented in the table as:

The classes in the table are not overlapping. Also, 36 out of 40 engineers have their house below 20 km of distance.

(i) Draw a histogram to represent the given data. [Hint: First make the class intervals continuous]
(ii) Is there any other suitable graphical representation for the same data?
(iii)Is it correct to conclude that the maximum number of leaves are 153 mm long? Why?

Answer

(i) The data is represented in a discontinuous class interval. So, first we will make continuous. The difference is 1, so we subtract 1/2 = 0.5 from lower limit and add 0.5 to the upper limit.

S.No.	Length (in mm)	Number of leaves
1.	117.5 – 126.5	3
2.	126.5 – 135.5	5

Represent the data of both the teams on the same graph by frequency polygons.
[Hint : First make the class intervals continuous.]

Answer

The data is represented in a discontinuous class interval. So, first we will make continuous. The difference is 1, so we subtract 1/2 = 0.5 from lower limit and add 0.5 to the upper limit.

Number of balls	Team A	Team B
0.5-6.5	2	5
6.5-12.5	1	6
12.5-18.5	8	2
18.5-24.5	9	10
24.5-30.5	4	5
30.5-36.5	5	6

8. A random survey of the number of children of various age groups playing in a park was found as follows:

Draw a histogram to represent the data above.

Answer

The class intervals in the data is having varying width. We know that the area of rectangle is proportional to the frequencies in the histogram. The class interval with minimum class size 1 is selected and the length of the rectangle is proportionate to it.

Age (in years)	Number of children (frequency)	Width of class	Length of rectangle
1-2	5	1	(5/1)×1 = 5
2-3	3	1	(3/1)×1 = 3
3-5	6	2	(6/2)×1 = 3
5-7	12	2	(12/2)×1 = 6
7-10	9	3	(9/3)×1 = 3
10-15	10	5	(10/5)×1 = 2
15-17	4	2	(4/2)×1 = 2

Taking the age of children on x-axis and proportion of children per 1 year interval on y-axis, the histogram can be drawn

9. 100 surnames were randomly picked up from a local telephone directory and a frequency distribution of the number of letters in the English alphabet in the surnames was found as follows:

(i) Draw a histogram to depict the given information.

(ii) Write the class interval in which the maximum number of surnames lie.

Answer

(i) The class intervals in the data is having varying width. We know that the area of rectangle is proportional to the frequencies in the histogram. The class interval with minimum class size 2 is selected and the length of the rectangle is proportionate to it.

The proportion of the surnames per 2 letters interval can be calculated as:

Number of letters	Number of surnames	Width of class	Length of rectangle
1-4	6	3	(6/3)×2 = 4
4-6	30	2	(30/2)×2 = 30
6-8	44	2	(44/2)×2 = 44
8-12	16	4	(16/4)×2 = 8
12-20	4	8	(4/8)×2 = 1

(ii) The class interval in which the maximum number of surnames lie is 6-8.

Exercise 14.4 NCERT Solution Statistics

Exercise 14.4

1. The following number of goals were scored by a team in a series of 10 matches:
2, 3, 4, 5, 0, 1, 3, 3, 4, 3
Find the mean, median and mode of these scores.

Answer

Mean = Sum of all the observations/Total number of observations
= (2+3+4+5+0+1+3+3+4+3)/10 = 28/10 = 2.8

For Median, we will arrange the given data in ascending order,
0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5
Number of observations (n) = 10
Number of observations are even so we will calculate median as,

= (3+3)/2 = 6/2 = 3

For Mode, we will arrange the given data in ascending order, we have

0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5.

Here, 3 occurs most frequently (4 times)

∴ Mode = 3

2. In a mathematics test given to 15 students, the following marks (out of 100) are recorded:
41, 39, 48, 52, 46, 62, 54, 40, 96, 52, 98, 40, 42, 52, 60
Find the mean, median and mode of this data.

Answer

Mean = Sum of all the observations/Total number of observations
= (41+39+48+52+46+62+54+40+96+52+98+40+42+52+60)/15 = 822/15 = 54.8

For Median, we will arrange the given data in ascending order,
39, 40, 40, 41, 42, 46, 48, 52, 52, 52, 54, 60, 62, 96, 98
Number of observations (n) = 15
Number of observations are odd so we will calculate median as,

For Mode, we will arrange the given data in ascending order, we have

39, 40, 40, 41, 42, 46, 48, 52, 52, 52, 54, 60, 62, 96, 98

Here, 52 occurs most frequently (3 times)

∴ Mode = 52

3. The following observations have been arranged in ascending order. If the median of the data is 63, find the value of x.

29, 32, 48, 50, x, x+2, 72, 78, 84, 95

Answer

Number of observations (n) = 10 (even)

According to question, Median = 63

∴ x + 1 = 63

⇒ x = 63−1 = 62

Hence, the value of x is 62.

4. Find the mode of 14, 25, 14, 28, 18, 17, 18, 14, 23, 22, 14, 18.

Answer

The given data is,

14,25,14,28,18,17,18,14,23,22,14,18

Arranging the data in ascending order,

14,14,14,14,17,18,18,18,22,23,25,28

Here, 14 occurs most frequently (4 times). Mode = 14

5. Find the mean salary of 60 workers of a factory from the following table:

Answer

Salary (x_i)	Number of workers (f_i)	f_ix_i
3000	16	48000
4000	12	48000
5000	10	50000
6000	8	48000
7000	6	42000
8000	4	32000
9000	3	27000
10000	1	10000
Total	Σf_i = 60	Σf_ix_i = 305000

Hence, the mean salary is ₹5083.33

6. Give one example of a situation in which

(i) the mean is an appropriate measure of central tendency.

(ii) the mean is not an appropriate measure of central tendency but the median is an appropriate measure of central tendency.
