Exercise 1

The table shows the distribution of scores obtained by 160 shooters in a shooting competition. Use a graph sheet and draw an ogive for the distribution. (Take 2 cm = 10 scores on the x-axis and 2 cm = 20 shooters on the y-axis)

Scores 0-10 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60 60-70 70-80 80-90 90-100 No. of shooters 9 13 20 26 30 22 15 10 8 7 Use your graph to estimate the following:  (i) The median.  (ii) The interquartile...

A boy scored the following marks in various class tests during a term each test being marked out of 20: 15, 17, 16, 7, 10, 12, 14, 16, 19, 12, 16
(i) What are his modal marks ?
(ii) What are his median marks ?
(iii) What are his mean marks ?

Solution: (i)We arrange given marks in ascending order 7, 10, 12, 12, 14, 15, 16, 16, 16, 17, 19 16 appears maximum number of times. Hence his modal mark is 16. (ii)Here number of observations, n =...

The marks of 10 students of a class in an examination arranged in ascending order are as follows: 13, 35, 43, 46, x, x +4, 55, 61,71, 80 If the median marks is 48, find the value of x. Hence, find the mode of the given data. (2017)

Solution: Given data in ascending order: 13, 35, 43, 46, x, x +4, 55, 61,71, 80 Given median = 48 Number of observations, n = 10 which is even. median = ½ ( n/2 th term + ((n/2)+1)th term) 48 = ½...

The daily wages in (rupees of) 19 workers are 41, 21, 38, 27, 31, 45, 23, 26, 29, 30, 28, 25, 35, 42, 47, 53, 29, 31, 35. find :
(i) the median
(ii) lower quartile
(iii) upper quartile
(iv) inter quartile range

Solution: Arranging the observations in ascending order 21, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 29, 30, 31, 31, 35, 35, 38, 41, 42, 45, 47, 53 Here n = 19 which is odd. (i)Median = ((n+1)/2)th term = (19+1)/2 =...
