Chapter 14 Statistics and Probability (Class 9 - Maths NCERT Exemplar Solutions)

Given Data:

The marks obtained by 17 students in a mathematics test are:

91, 82, 100, 100, 96, 65, 82, 76, 79, 90, 46, 64, 72, 68, 66, 48, 49

To Find:

The range of the given data.

Solution:

The range of a data set is defined as the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value present in the data set.

Range = Maximum Value - Minimum Value

We need to find the smallest (minimum) and largest (maximum) values from the given set of marks.

The given data points are: 91, 82, 100, 100, 96, 65, 82, 76, 79, 90, 46, 64, 72, 68, 66, 48, 49

Let's examine the data to find the minimum and maximum values.

The minimum value in the data set is 46.

The maximum value in the data set is 100.

Now, we can calculate the range using the formula:

$Range = \text{Maximum Value} - \text{Minimum Value}$

$Range = 100 - 46$

$Range = 54$

Final Answer:

The range of the data is 54.

This corresponds to option (B).

Given:

The class interval is 130-150.

Lower limit of the class = 130

Upper limit of the class = 150

To Find:

The class-mark of the class 130-150.

Solution:

The class-mark of a class interval is the average of its lower and upper limits.

The formula for class-mark is:

$Class\text{-}mark = \frac{\text{Lower Limit} + \text{Upper Limit}}{2}$

Substituting the given values into the formula:

$Class\text{-}mark = \frac{130 + 150}{2}$

$Class\text{-}mark = \frac{280}{2}$

$Class\text{-}mark = 140$

Final Answer:

The class-mark of the class 130-150 is 140.

This corresponds to option (C).

Given:

Total number of times the die is thrown = 1000.

The frequency of each outcome is given in the table:

Frequency of outcome 1 = 180

Frequency of outcome 2 = 150

Frequency of outcome 3 = 160

Frequency of outcome 4 = 170

Frequency of outcome 5 = 150

Frequency of outcome 6 = 190

To Find:

The probability that the die shows 5 if thrown once more.

Solution:

The empirical probability of an event is given by the formula:

$P(\text{Event}) = \frac{\text{Number of times the event occurred}}{\text{Total number of trials}}$

In this case, the event is getting a 5 when the die is thrown.

From the given data:

Number of times the die shows 5 = Frequency of outcome 5 = 150

Total number of trials = Total number of times the die was thrown = 1000

So, the probability of getting a 5 is:

$P(5) = \frac{\text{Number of times 5 occurred}}{\text{Total number of trials}}$

$P(5) = \frac{150}{1000}$

Now, we simplify the fraction:

$P(5) = \frac{\cancel{150}^{3}}{\cancel{1000}_{20}}$

$P(5) = \frac{3}{20}$

Final Answer:

The probability that the die shows 5 is $\frac{3}{20}$.

This corresponds to option (B).

Given:

The class interval is 90-120.

Lower limit of the class = 90

Upper limit of the class = 120

To Find:

The class-mark of the class 90-120.

Solution:

The class-mark of a class interval is the average of its lower and upper limits.

The formula for class-mark is:

$Class\text{-}mark = \frac{\text{Lower Limit} + \text{Upper Limit}}{2}$

Substituting the given values into the formula:

$Class\text{-}mark = \frac{90 + 120}{2}$

$Class\text{-}mark = \frac{210}{2}$

$Class\text{-}mark = 105$

Final Answer:

The class-mark of the class 90-120 is 105.

This corresponds to option (B).

Given Data:

The given data set is:

25, 18, 20, 22, 16, 6, 17, 15, 12, 30, 32, 10, 19, 8, 11, 20

To Find:

The range of the given data.

Solution:

The range of a data set is the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value in the data set.

$Range = \text{Maximum Value} - \text{Minimum Value}$

Let's examine the given data set to find the minimum and maximum values.

The data points are: 25, 18, 20, 22, 16, 6, 17, 15, 12, 30, 32, 10, 19, 8, 11, 20.

By inspecting the data, the minimum value is 6.

By inspecting the data, the maximum value is 32.

Now, we calculate the range:

$Range = 32 - 6$

$Range = 26$

Final Answer:

The range of the data is 26.

This corresponds to option (D).

Given:

Mid value (Class-mark) of the class = 10

Width of the class = 6

To Find:

The lower limit of the class.

Solution:

Let the lower limit of the class be $L$ and the upper limit be $U$.

The class-mark is the average of the lower and upper limits:

$Class\text{-}mark = \frac{L + U}{2}$

We are given that the class-mark is 10, so:

$\frac{L + U}{2} = 10$

$L + U = 2 \times 10$

$L + U = 20$

The width of the class is the difference between the upper and lower limits:

$Width = U - L$

We are given that the width is 6, so:

$U - L = 6$

We now have a system of two linear equations with two variables $L$ and $U$:

(1) $L + U = 20$

(2) $U - L = 6$

We can solve this system. From equation (2), we can express $U$ in terms of $L$:

$U = L + 6$

Substitute this expression for $U$ into equation (1):

$L + (L + 6) = 20$

$2L + 6 = 20$

Subtract 6 from both sides:

$2L = 20 - 6$

$2L = 14$

Divide both sides by 2:

$L = \frac{14}{2}$

$L = 7$

Thus, the lower limit of the class is 7.

Final Answer:

The lower limit of the class is 7.

This corresponds to option (B).

Given:

Number of continuous classes $= 5$

Class width ($w$) for each class $= 5$

Lower class-limit of the lowest (first) class $= 10$

To Find:

The upper class-limit of the highest (fifth) class.

Solution:

In a continuous frequency distribution, the upper limit of one class becomes the lower limit of the next class.

Let us list the five continuous classes starting from the lower limit $10$ with a width of $5$:

From the above list, we can see that the highest class is the fifth class, which is $30 - 35$.

The upper class-limit of this highest class is $35$.

Alternate Solution:

The upper limit of the $n^{\text{th}}$ continuous class can be calculated using the formula:

Substituting the given values ($n = 5$, $\text{width} = 5$, $\text{Lower Limit} = 10$):

Thus, the correct option is (C) 35.

Given:

Mid-point (Class-mark) of the class = $m$

Upper class limit of the class = $l$

To Find:

The lower class limit of the class.

Solution:

Let the lower class limit be denoted by $x$.

In a continuous frequency distribution, the mid-point (class-mark) of a class is the average of its lower and upper limits.

The formula for the mid-point is:

$Mid\text{-}point = \frac{\text{Lower Limit} + \text{Upper Limit}}{2}$

Substituting the given values and our variable $x$ into the formula:

$m = \frac{x + l}{2}$

We need to solve this equation for $x$.

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

$2 \times m = 2 \times \frac{x + l}{2}$

$2m = x + l$

Subtract $l$ from both sides of the equation to isolate $x$:

$2m - l = x + l - l$

$x = 2m - l$

So, the lower class limit of the class is $2m - l$.

Final Answer:

The lower class limit of the class is $2m - l$.

This corresponds to option (B).

Given:

The class marks of a frequency distribution are 15, 20, 25, ...

The class mark we are interested in is 20.

To Find:

The class interval corresponding to the class mark 20.

Solution:

The difference between consecutive class marks gives the class width.

Class width ($w$) = $20 - 15 = 5$

Class width ($w$) = $25 - 20 = 5$

So, the class width is $w = 5$.

Let $m$ be the class mark, $L$ be the lower limit, and $U$ be the upper limit of a class.

The class mark is defined as the average of the lower and upper limits:

$m = \frac{L + U}{2}$

The width of the class is the difference between the upper and lower limits:

$w = U - L$

From the second equation, $U = L + w$. Substitute this into the first equation:

$m = \frac{L + (L + w)}{2}$

$m = \frac{2L + w}{2}$

$m = L + \frac{w}{2}$

Rearranging to find the lower limit $L$:

$L = m - \frac{w}{2}$

Similarly, from $w = U - L$, we have $L = U - w$. Substitute this into the first equation:

$m = \frac{(U - w) + U}{2}$

$m = \frac{2U - w}{2}$

$m = U - \frac{w}{2}$

Rearranging to find the upper limit $U$:

$U = m + \frac{w}{2}$

For the class mark $m = 20$ and class width $w = 5$, we can find the lower and upper limits.

Lower Limit ($L$) = $m - \frac{w}{2} = 20 - \frac{5}{2} = 20 - 2.5 = 17.5$

Upper Limit ($U$) = $m + \frac{w}{2} = 20 + \frac{5}{2} = 20 + 2.5 = 22.5$

The class interval corresponding to the class mark 20 is [17.5, 22.5), which is written as 17.5 – 22.5 in the options.

Final Answer:

The class corresponding to the class mark 20 is 17.5 – 22.5.

This corresponds to option (B).

Given:

The class intervals are 10-20 and 20-30.

To Find:

Which class interval includes the number 20.

Solution:

In a continuous frequency distribution, the convention is that the upper limit of a class is excluded from that class, while the lower limit of the next class is included in that class.

This means the interval 10-20 typically represents the range $[10, 20)$, which includes values from 10 up to, but not including, 20.

The interval 20-30 typically represents the range $[20, 30)$, which includes values from 20 up to, but not including, 30.

Following this convention, the number 20 is the upper limit of the class 10-20 and is not included in this class.

The number 20 is the lower limit of the class 20-30 and is included in this class.

Final Answer:

The number 20 is included in the class interval 20-30.

This corresponds to option (B).

Given Data:

The data points are:

268, 220, 368, 258, 242, 310, 272, 342, 310, 290, 300, 320, 319, 304, 402, 318, 406, 292, 354, 278, 210, 240, 330, 316, 406, 215, 258, 236.

The class intervals are of equal size, and one interval is 250-270 (270 not included).

This implies a continuous frequency distribution where the class intervals are of the form [lower limit, upper limit).

To Find:

The frequency of the class 310-330.

Solution:

The class interval 250-270 (270 not included) is represented as $[250, 270)$. The width of this class is $270 - 250 = 20$.

Since the class intervals have equal sizes, the width of every class interval is 20.

The class 310-330 represents the interval $[310, 330)$. This means we need to count the number of data points that are greater than or equal to 310 and strictly less than 330.

Let's go through the data points and count those that fall within the interval $[310, 330)$: ($310 \leq x < 330$)

• 268 (No)
• 220 (No)
• 368 (No)
• 258 (No)
• 242 (No)
• 310 (Yes, $310 \geq 310$)
• 272 (No)
• 342 (No)
• 310 (Yes, $310 \geq 310$)
• 290 (No)
• 300 (No)
• 320 (Yes, $320 < 330$)
• 319 (Yes, $319 < 330$)
• 304 (No)
• 402 (No)
• 318 (Yes, $318 < 330$)
• 406 (No)
• 292 (No)
• 354 (No)
• 278 (No)
• 210 (No)
• 240 (No)
• 330 (No, $330$ is not included)
• 316 (Yes, $316 < 330$)
• 406 (No)
• 215 (No)
• 258 (No)
• 236 (No)

The data points within the interval $[310, 330)$ are 310, 310, 320, 319, 318, and 316.

There are 6 such data points.

Therefore, the frequency of the class 310-330 is 6.

Final Answer:

The frequency of the class 310-330 is 6.

This corresponds to option (C).

Given:

Data values: 30, 32, 45, 54, 74, 78, 108, 112, 66, 76, 88, 40, 14, 20, 15, 35, 44, 66, 75, 84, 95, 96, 102, 110, 88, 74, 112, 14, 34, 44.

One class interval is $63 - 72$ (where 72 is included).

To Find:

The number of classes in the distribution.

Solution:

First, we identify the minimum and maximum values in the given data set.

The class interval provided is $63 - 72$. Since 72 is included, this is an inclusive (discrete) type of class interval.

The class width (size) is calculated as:

Now, we construct classes of size 10 that include the minimum value (14) and continue until the maximum value (112) is covered:

1. $13 - 22$ (Contains 14 and 20)

2. $23 - 32$ (Contains 30 and 32)

3. $33 - 42$ (Contains 34, 35 and 40)

4. $43 - 52$ (Contains 44, 44 and 45)

5. $53 - 62$ (Contains 54)

6. $63 - 72$ (Contains 66 and 66)

7. $73 - 82$ (Contains 74, 74, 75, 76 and 78)

8. $83 - 92$ (Contains 84, 88 and 88)

9. $93 - 102$ (Contains 95, 96 and 102)

10. $103 - 112$ (Contains 108, 110, 112 and 112)

The total number of classes formed to cover the entire range of data is 10.

Thus, the correct option is (B) 10.

Given:

Frequency distribution table with varying class widths.

To Find:

The adjusted frequency for the class interval $25 - 45$.

Solution:

When class widths are not uniform, we calculate adjusted frequencies to draw a histogram. The formula for adjusted frequency is:

First, let's calculate the width of each class interval:

Width of $5 - 10$ is $10 - 5 = 5$

Width of $10 - 15$ is $15 - 10 = 5$

Width of $15 - 25$ is $25 - 15 = 10$

Width of $25 - 45$ is $45 - 25 = 20$

Width of $45 - 75$ is $75 - 45 = 30$

From the above, the minimum class width is 5.

For the class $25 - 45$:

Applying the values in the formula:

Thus, the adjusted frequency for the class $25 - 45$ is 2.

Hence, the correct option is (D) 2.

Given:

Number of initial observations ($n_1$) = 5

Mean of initial observations ($\bar{x}_1$) = 30

Number of observations after excluding one = 4

Mean of remaining observations ($\bar{x}_2$) = 28

To Find:

The value of the excluded number.

Solution:

The mean of a set of numbers is calculated by dividing the sum of the numbers by the count of the numbers.

Mean = $\frac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}$

Let $S_1$ be the sum of the initial five numbers.

The mean of the initial five numbers is given by:

$\bar{x}_1 = \frac{S_1}{n_1}$

Substitute the given values:

$30 = \frac{S_1}{5}$

To find the sum $S_1$, multiply both sides by 5:

$S_1 = 30 \times 5$

$S_1 = 150$

Let the excluded number be $x$.

After excluding one number, the number of observations is $n_2 = 5 - 1 = 4$.

The sum of the remaining four numbers is $S_2 = S_1 - x$.

The mean of the remaining four numbers is given by:

$\bar{x}_2 = \frac{S_2}{n_2}$

Substitute the given mean and the sum of the remaining numbers:

$28 = \frac{150 - x}{4}$

To solve for $x$, multiply both sides by 4:

$28 \times 4 = 150 - x$

$112 = 150 - x$

Rearrange the equation to find $x$:

$x = 150 - 112$

$x = 38$

The excluded number is 38.

Final Answer:

The excluded number is 38.

This corresponds to option (D).

Given:

The five observations are: $x, x+3, x+5, x+7, x+10$.

The mean of these five observations is 9.

To Find:

The mean of the last three observations: $x+5, x+7, x+10$.

Solution:

The mean of a set of observations is calculated as the sum of the observations divided by the number of observations.

Let the sum of the five observations be $S_5$.

$S_5 = x + (x+3) + (x+5) + (x+7) + (x+10)$

$S_5 = x+x+3+x+5+x+7+x+10$

$S_5 = (x+x+x+x+x) + (3+5+7+10)$

$S_5 = 5x + 25$

The number of observations is 5.

The mean of these five observations is given as 9.

Mean = $\frac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}$

$9 = \frac{5x + 25}{5}$

Multiply both sides by 5:

$9 \times 5 = 5x + 25$

$45 = 5x + 25$

Subtract 25 from both sides:

$45 - 25 = 5x$

$20 = 5x$

Divide both sides by 5:

$x = \frac{20}{5}$

$x = 4$

Now that we have the value of $x$, we can find the values of the last three observations.

The last three observations are: $x+5, x+7, x+10$.

Substitute $x=4$ into these expressions:

First observation (of the last three) = $x+5 = 4+5 = 9$

Second observation (of the last three) = $x+7 = 4+7 = 11$

Third observation (of the last three) = $x+10 = 4+10 = 14$

The last three observations are 9, 11, and 14.

Now, we calculate the mean of these three observations.

Sum of the last three observations = $9 + 11 + 14 = 34$

Number of these observations = 3

Mean of the last three observations = $\frac{\text{Sum of last three observations}}{\text{Number of last three observations}}$

Mean = $\frac{34}{3}$

To express this as a mixed fraction, we divide 34 by 3.

$34 \div 3 = 11$ with a remainder of 1.

So, $\frac{34}{3} = 11 \frac{1}{3}$.

Final Answer:

The mean of the last three observations is $11 \frac{1}{3}$.

This corresponds to option (C).

Given:

Mean of $n$ observations $x_1, x_2, ..., x_n$ is $\overline{x}$.

To Find:

The value of the expression $\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} (x_i - \overline{x})$.

Solution:

The arithmetic mean is defined as the sum of observations divided by the total number of observations.

By rearranging equation (i), we can find the sum of all observations:

Now, let us expand the required summation:

$\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} (x_i - \overline{x}) = (x_1 - \overline{x}) + (x_2 - \overline{x}) + ... + (x_n - \overline{x})$

$\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} (x_i - \overline{x}) = \sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} x_i - \sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} \overline{x}$

Since $\overline{x}$ is a constant value for all $i$, the sum of $\overline{x}$ repeated $n$ times is $n\overline{x}$.

Substituting the value from equation (ii):

$\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} (x_i - \overline{x}) = n\overline{x} - n\overline{x}$

$\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} (x_i - \overline{x}) = 0$

This property states that the sum of deviations of observations from their mean is always zero.

Thus, the correct option is (B).

Given:

Each observation in a data set is increased by a constant value of 5.

To Find:

The effect of this increase on the mean of the data.

Solution:

Let the original $n$ observations be $x_1, x_2, ..., x_n$.

According to the question, the new observations are $x_1 + 5, x_2 + 5, ..., x_n + 5$.

The new mean $\overline{x}_{new}$ is calculated as:

$\overline{x}_{new} = \frac{(x_1 + 5) + (x_2 + 5) + ... + (x_n + 5)}{n}$

$\overline{x}_{new} = \frac{(x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n) + (5 + 5 + ... \text{ n times})}{n}$

$\overline{x}_{new} = \frac{\sum x_i + 5n}{n}$

$\overline{x}_{new} = \frac{\sum x_i}{n} + \frac{5n}{n}$

From equation (i), we substitute $\overline{x}_{old}$:

$\overline{x}_{new} = \overline{x}_{old} + 5$

This shows that if each observation is increased by a constant $k$, the mean also increases by $k$. Here, $k = 5$.

Thus, the correct option is (D).

Given:

1. Mean of $x_1, x_2, ..., x_n$ is $\overline{x}$.

2. Mean of $y_1, y_2, ..., y_n$ is $\overline{y}$.

3. $\overline{z}$ is the combined mean of both sets.

To Find:

The relation of $\overline{z}$ with $\overline{x}$ and $\overline{y}$.

Solution:

From the first set of observations ($n$ observations):

From the second set of observations ($n$ observations):

The total number of observations for $\overline{z}$ is $n + n = 2n$.

The combined mean $\overline{z}$ is given by:

$\overline{z} = \frac{\text{Sum of all } x \text{ observations} + \text{Sum of all } y \text{ observations}}{\text{Total number of observations}}$

$\overline{z} = \frac{\sum x_i + \sum y_i}{2n}$

Substituting values from (i) and (ii):

$\overline{z} = \frac{n\overline{x} + n\overline{y}}{2n}$

$\overline{z} = \frac{n(\overline{x} + \overline{y})}{2n}$

Cancelling $n$ from the numerator and denominator:

$\overline{z} = \frac{\overline{x} + \overline{y}}{2}$

Thus, the combined mean is the average of the two means when the number of observations in both groups is equal.

Hence, the correct option is (B).

Given:

Mean of $x_1, x_2, ..., x_n$ is $\overline{x}$. Therefore, $\sum x_i = n\overline{x}$.

To Find:

The mean of $2n$ observations: $ax_1, ax_2, ..., ax_n, \frac{x_1}{a}, \frac{x_2}{a}, ..., \frac{x_n}{a}$.

Solution:

Total number of new observations = $n + n = 2n$.

Sum of new observations ($S_{new}$):

$S_{new} = (ax_1 + ax_2 + ... + ax_n) + \left( \frac{x_1}{a} + \frac{x_2}{a} + ... + \frac{x_n}{a} \right)$

Factoring out $a$ and $\frac{1}{a}$ respectively:

$S_{new} = a(x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n) + \frac{1}{a}(x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n)$

$S_{new} = a\sum x_i + \frac{1}{a}\sum x_i$

$S_{new} = \left( a + \frac{1}{a} \right) \sum x_i$

We know that $\sum x_i = n\overline{x}$, so:

$S_{new} = \left( a + \frac{1}{a} \right) n\overline{x}$

The new mean ($\overline{X}_{new}$) is the total sum divided by $2n$:

$\overline{X}_{new} = \frac{\left( a + \frac{1}{a} \right) n\overline{x}}{2n}$

$\overline{X}_{new} = \left( a + \frac{1}{a} \right) \frac{\overline{x}}{2}$

Thus, the correct option is (B).

Given:

Group 1: $n_1$ observations, mean $\overline{x_1}$.

Group 2: $n_2$ observations, mean $\overline{x_2}$.

... and so on until Group $n$.

To Find:

The combined mean $\overline{x}$ of all groups taken together.

Solution:

The sum of observations for any group $i$ is calculated as:

Sum$_i = (\text{number of observations}) \times (\text{mean of the group})$

Sum$_i = n_i \overline{x_i}$

Total sum of observations for all groups together is:

Total Sum $= n_1\overline{x_1} + n_2\overline{x_2} + ... + n_n\overline{x_n} = \sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} n_i\overline{x_i}$

Total number of observations for all groups together is:

Total count $= n_1 + n_2 + ... + n_n = \sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} n_i$

The combined mean $\overline{x}$ is given by:

$\overline{x} = \frac{\text{Total Sum}}{\text{Total count}}$

$\overline{x} = \frac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} n_i\overline{x_i}}{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} n_i}$

This is also known as the Weighted Arithmetic Mean formula.

Thus, the correct option is (C).

Given:

Total number of observations ($n$) = 100

Original Mean ($\overline{x}$) = 50

Old observation = 50

New observation (replacement) = 150

To Find:

The resulting (new) mean.

Solution:

We know that the sum of observations is given by the product of the mean and the number of observations.

Now, when one observation (50) is replaced by 150, the new sum is calculated as:

$\text{New Sum} = \text{Original Sum} - \text{Old value} + \text{New value}$

$\text{New Sum} = 5000 - 50 + 150$

$\text{New Sum} = 5100$

The number of observations remains the same ($n = 100$).

$\text{New Mean} = \frac{\text{New Sum}}{n}$

$\text{New Mean} = \frac{5100}{100}$

$\text{New Mean} = 51$

Hence, the resulting mean is 51. The correct option is (B).

Given:

Number of observations ($n$) = 50

New observations are obtained by $(53 - x_i)$

Mean of new observations = $-3.5$

To Find:

The mean of the original numbers ($\overline{x}$).

Solution:

Let the given numbers be $x_1, x_2, ..., x_{50}$.

The new numbers are $(53 - x_1), (53 - x_2), ..., (53 - x_{50})$.

The mean of these new numbers is given as:

$\frac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{50} (53 - x_i)}{50} = -3.5$

$\sum\limits_{i=1}^{50} (53 - x_i) = -3.5 \times 50$

$\sum\limits_{i=1}^{50} 53 - \sum\limits_{i=1}^{50} x_i = -175$

Since 53 is a constant:

$2650 - \sum x_i = -175$

$\sum x_i = 2650 + 175$

$\sum x_i = 2825$

Original Mean $\overline{x} = \frac{\sum x_i}{n}$:

$\overline{x} = \frac{2825}{50}$

$\overline{x} = 56.5$

Hence, the mean of the given numbers is 56.5. The correct option is (D).

Given:

Total observations ($n$) = 25

Mean of 25 observations = 36

Mean of first 13 observations = 32

Mean of last 13 observations = 40

To Find:

The value of the 13th observation ($x_{13}$).

Solution:

Sum of all 25 observations = $25 \times 36 = 900$

Sum of first 13 observations = $13 \times 32 = 416$

Sum of last 13 observations = $13 \times 40 = 520$

In the sum of the first 13 and the last 13 observations, the 13th observation is included twice.

Therefore:

$\text{Sum of first 13} + \text{Sum of last 13} = \text{Sum of all 25} + x_{13}$

$416 + 520 = 900 + x_{13}$

$936 = 900 + x_{13}$

$x_{13} = 36$

Hence, the 13th observation is 36. The correct option is (B).

Given:

Data set: 78, 56, 22, 34, 45, 54, 39, 68, 54, 84

To Find:

The median of the data.

Solution:

Step 1: Arrange the data in ascending order.

22, 34, 39, 45, 54, 54, 56, 68, 78, 84

Step 2: Count the number of observations.

Number of observations ($n$) = 10 (which is even).

Step 3: Apply the median formula for even $n$.

$\text{Median} = \frac{\left( \frac{n}{2} \right)^{th} \text{ observation} + \left( \frac{n}{2} + 1 \right)^{th} \text{ observation}}{2}$

$\text{Median} = \frac{\left( \frac{10}{2} \right)^{th} + \left( \frac{10}{2} + 1 \right)^{th}}{2}$

$\text{Median} = \frac{5^{th} \text{ observation} + 6^{th} \text{ observation}}{2}$

Looking at our ordered data:

$5^{th} \text{ observation} = 54$

$6^{th} \text{ observation} = 54$

$\text{Median} = \frac{54 + 54}{2} = 54$

Hence, the median is 54. The correct option is (C).

To Find:

What represent the abscissae (x-coordinates) while drawing a frequency polygon.

Solution:

In a frequency polygon, we represent the data using points $(x, y)$.

1. The ordinate (y-coordinate) represents the frequency of the class.

2. The abscissa (x-coordinate) represents the class mark of that class.

The class mark is calculated as:

$\text{Class Mark} = \frac{\text{Upper Limit} + \text{Lower Limit}}{2}$

Hence, the correct option is (C) class marks of the classes.

Given:

Numbers: 4, 4, 5, 7, 6, 7, 7, 12, 3

To Find:

The median of the numbers.

Solution:

Step 1: Arrange the data in ascending order.

3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 12

Step 2: Count the number of observations.

Number of observations ($n$) = 9 (which is odd).

Step 3: Apply the median formula for odd $n$.

$\text{Median} = \left( \frac{n + 1}{2} \right)^{th} \text{ observation}$

$\text{Median} = \left( \frac{9 + 1}{2} \right)^{th} \text{ observation}$

$\text{Median} = 5^{th} \text{ observation}$

Looking at our ordered data:

1st: 3, 2nd: 4, 3rd: 4, 4th: 5, 5th: 6

$\text{Median} = 6$

Hence, the correct option is (C).

Given Data:

The data set is: 15, 14, 19, 20, 14, 15, 16, 14, 15, 18, 14, 19, 15, 17, 15

To Find:

The mode of the given data.

Solution:

The mode of a data set is the observation that occurs most frequently.

To find the mode, we can count the frequency of each distinct value in the data set.

Let's list the distinct values and their frequencies:

• Value 14: Occurs 4 times (14, 14, 14, 14)
• Value 15: Occurs 5 times (15, 15, 15, 15, 15)
• Value 16: Occurs 1 time (16)
• Value 17: Occurs 1 time (17)
• Value 18: Occurs 1 time (18)
• Value 19: Occurs 2 times (19, 19)
• Value 20: Occurs 1 time (20)

Let's summarize the frequencies:

Frequency of 14 = 4

Frequency of 15 = 5

Frequency of 16 = 1

Frequency of 17 = 1

Frequency of 18 = 1

Frequency of 19 = 2

Frequency of 20 = 1

The value with the highest frequency is 15, which occurs 5 times.

Therefore, the mode of the data is 15.

Final Answer:

The mode of the data is 15.

This corresponds to option (B).

Given:

Total number of people in the sample size ($n$) = 642

Number of people having high school certificate ($m$) = 514

To Find:

The probability $P(E)$ that a person selected at random has a high school certificate.

Solution:

The empirical probability of an event $E$ is given by:

$P(E) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

Substituting the given values:

$P(E) = \frac{514}{642}$

To find the decimal value, we perform the division:

$P(E) \approx 0.8006$

Rounding off to one decimal place, we get $0.8$.

Hence, the correct option is (D) 0.8.

Given:

Total number of children surveyed ($n$) = 364

Number of children who liked potato chips = 91

To Find:

The probability that a child selected at random does not like to eat potato chips.

Solution:

First, we find the number of children who do not like potato chips:

Number of children who do not like chips = Total children - Number of children who like chips

Now, we calculate the probability $P(E')$:

$P(E') = \frac{\text{Number of children who do not like chips}}{\text{Total number of children}}$

$P(E') = \frac{273}{364}$

Dividing both numerator and denominator by 91:

$P(E') = \frac{\cancel{273}^{3}}{\cancel{364}_{4}}$

$P(E') = \frac{3}{4} = 0.75$

Hence, the correct option is (C) 0.75.

Given:

Frequencies of blood groups are: A = 10, AB = 13, B = 12, O = 15.

To Find:

The probability of selecting a student with blood group B.

Solution:

Total number of students in the class = $10 + 13 + 12 + 15 = 50$.

Number of students with blood group B = 12.

Probability $P(B) = \frac{\text{Number of students with group B}}{\text{Total number of students}}$

$P(B) = \frac{12}{50} = \frac{6}{25}$

Note: Looking at the options provided, there seems to be a discrepancy in the total count in the question table. If we assume the total number of students was intended to be 40 (which is common in standard textbook versions of this problem), the calculation would be:

$P(B) = \frac{12}{40} = \frac{3}{10}$

Based on the options given, the most appropriate choice matching the simplified fraction for group B (with a total of 40) is (C).

Hence, the correct option is (C) $\frac{3}{10}$.

Given:

Total number of trials = 1000

Frequency of 2 heads = 200

Frequency of 1 head = 550

Frequency of 0 heads = 250

To Find:

Probability for "at most one head".

Solution:

The event "at most one head" includes the outcomes of having 0 heads or 1 head.

Number of favorable outcomes = Frequency of 0 heads + Frequency of 1 head

$\text{Favorable outcomes} = 250 + 550 = 800$

Probability $P(\text{at most 1 head}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total trials}}$

$P = \frac{800}{1000}$

Simplifying the fraction:

$P = \frac{\cancel{800}^{4}}{\cancel{1000}_{5}} = \frac{4}{5}$

Hence, the correct option is (C) $\frac{4}{5}$.

Given:

Total number of bulbs = 80

The recorded life times are 300, 500, 700, 900, and 1100 hours.

To Find:

Probability that a selected bulb has a life of 1150 hours.

Solution:

From the given frequency table, we observe the frequency for different life times.

The frequency for a life time of 1150 hours is not present in the table, which means no bulb in the sample had a life of 1150 hours.

Number of favorable outcomes = 0

Probability $P(1150 \text{ hrs}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total bulbs}}$

$P = \frac{0}{80} = 0$

This is an impossible event based on the given sample data.

Hence, the correct option is (C) 0.

Given:

Total number of bulbs = 80

Frequencies for life times: 300 hrs = 10, 500 hrs = 12, 700 hrs = 23, 900 hrs = 25, 1100 hrs = 10.

To Find:

Probability that the life of a bulb is less than 900 hours.

Solution:

Bulbs with life "less than 900 hours" include those with life times of 300, 500, and 700 hours.

Number of favorable outcomes = Frequency(300) + Frequency(500) + Frequency(700)

$\text{Favorable outcomes} = 10 + 12 + 23 = 45$

Probability $P(\text{life} < 900) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total bulbs}}$

$P = \frac{45}{80}$

Dividing both numerator and denominator by 5:

$P = \frac{\cancel{45}^{9}}{\cancel{80}_{16}} = \frac{9}{16}$

Hence, the correct option is (D) $\frac{9}{16}$.

Given:

1. Mean of the first data set ($x_i$): $2, 8, 6, 5, 4, 5, 6, 3, 6, 4, 9, 1, 5, 6, 5$ is $\overline{x} = 5$.

2. Second data set ($y_i$): $10, 12, 10, 2, 18, 8, 12, 6, 12, 10, 8, 10, 12, 16, 4$.

To Find:

Is it correct to say the mean of the second data set is 10? (Yes/No with reason).

Solution:

Let us observe the relationship between the observations of the first data set ($x_i$) and the second data set ($y_i$).

If we multiply each observation of the first set by 2, we get:

$2 \times 2 = 4$, $8 \times 2 = 16$, $6 \times 2 = 12$, $5 \times 2 = 10$, $4 \times 2 = 8$, $3 \times 2 = 6$, $9 \times 2 = 18$, $1 \times 2 = 2$.

Comparing these results with the second data set, we see that every observation $y_i$ is exactly twice the corresponding observation $x_i$.

We know the property of mean: If each observation in a data set is multiplied by a constant $k$, the mean of the new data set is also multiplied by $k$.

Substituting the given mean $\overline{x} = 5$ into equation (ii):

$\overline{y} = 2 \times 5$

$\overline{y} = 10$

Conclusion: Yes, it is correct to say that the mean of the second data set is 10 because each observation of the second data set is double the corresponding observation of the first data set.

Solution:

No, it is not always correct to say that the lengths (heights) of the rectangles in a histogram are proportional to the frequencies.

Reason:

In a histogram, the area of a rectangle represents the frequency. The formula for the area of a rectangle is:

$\text{Area} = \text{Width (Class Size)} \times \text{Length (Height)}$

1. If the class sizes are equal for all intervals, then the width is constant. In this specific case, the length (height) is directly proportional to the frequency.

2. If the class sizes are unequal, the lengths of the rectangles are modified to represent "Frequency Density" or "Adjusted Frequency". The length is calculated as:

$\text{Length of rectangle} = \frac{\text{Frequency}}{\text{Width of class}} \times \text{Minimum class size}$

Therefore, the lengths are proportional to the frequencies only if the class widths are uniform.

Given:

Data set: 2, 3, 9, 16, 9, 3, 9

To Find:

Is 16 the mode? Give reason.

Solution:

By definition, the mode of a data set is the observation that occurs with the highest frequency (the value that appears most often).

Let us count the frequency of each observation:

From the table, we can see that:

1. The value 16 occurs only 1 time.

2. The value 9 occurs 3 times, which is the highest frequency.

Conclusion: No, it is incorrect to say 16 is the mode. While 16 is the maximum value in the data set, the mode is 9 because it has the highest frequency.

Solution:

No, the given graphical representation (histogram) is not correct.

Reason:

In a histogram, the area of each rectangle must be proportional to the frequency of the corresponding class interval. When class sizes are unequal, we must adjust the lengths (heights) of the rectangles.

In the given data, the class widths are:

Width of $0 - 20 = 20$

Width of $20 - 40 = 20$

Width of $40 - 60 = 20$

Width of $60 - 100 = 40$

Since the class sizes are not uniform (the last class width is 40, while others are 20), the height of the rectangle for the class $60 - 100$ should be calculated as follows:

For the class $60 - 100$:

However, in the given figure, the height of the rectangle for the class $60 - 100$ is shown as 25. This makes the area of that rectangle disproportionately large compared to its frequency.

The correct adjusted frequencies should be:

Solution:

For the given data, the Median will be a good representative average.

Reason:

Let us look at the data points: 46, 52, 48, 11, 41, 62, 54, 53, 96, 40, 98, 44.

1. Most of the observations lie in the range of 40 to 62.

2. However, there are extreme values (outliers) in the data: 11 (very low) and 96, 98 (very high).

The Mean is significantly affected by extreme values, which can pull the average away from the central cluster of the data. The Median, on the other hand, is not affected by these outliers and provides a better representation of the "middle" or "central" tendency of such a distribution.

Solution:

The child does not understand that to find the median, the data must first be arranged in ascending or descending order.

Explanation:

The child simply picked the middle value from the raw (unsorted) data: 3, 14, 18, 20, 5.

Correct Method:

Step 1: Arrange in ascending order:

3, 5, 14, 18, 20

Step 2: Find the middle observation ($n=5$, which is odd):

$\text{Median} = \left( \frac{5+1}{2} \right)^{th} \text{ observation} = 3^{rd} \text{ observation}$

The $3^{rd}$ observation is 14.

Therefore, the median is 14, not 18.

Solution:

No, this is not the correct answer.

Reason:

Just like in Question 3, the median must be calculated after arranging the data in ascending order. The calculation provided used the 5th and 6th observations from the raw data (8 and 6), which is incorrect.

Correct Solution:

Arranging data in ascending order:

1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Total number of observations ($n$) = 10 (Even).

$\text{Median} = \frac{\left(\frac{10}{2}\right)^{th} \text{ obs} + \left(\frac{10}{2} + 1\right)^{th} \text{ obs}}{2}$

$\text{Median} = \frac{5^{th} \text{ observation} + 6^{th} \text{ observation}}{2}$

From the ordered data:

5th observation = 4

6th observation = 5

$\text{Median} = \frac{4 + 5}{2} = 4.5$

The correct median is 4.5, not 7.

Solution:

No, the statement is incorrect.

Correct Statement:

In a histogram, the area of each rectangle is proportional to the frequency of the corresponding class interval.

Explanation:

The class size (width) only determines the horizontal extent of the rectangle. To represent the frequency accurately as an area, the height of the rectangle is adjusted such that:

If class sizes are uniform, height is proportional to frequency. If class sizes are non-uniform, height is proportional to frequency density.

Given:

Class marks ($x_i$): 1.04, 1.14, 1.24, 1.34, 1.44, 1.54, 1.64

To Find:

Whether the last class interval is 1.55 - 1.73.

Solution:

Step 1: Calculate the class size ($h$).

In a continuous distribution, the class size is the difference between any two consecutive class marks.

$h = 1.14 - 1.04 = 0.10$

Step 2: Determine the limits of the last class interval.

The last class mark ($x_n$) is 1.64.

The lower limit ($l$) of a class is given by $x_i - \frac{h}{2}$ and the upper limit ($u$) is given by $x_i + \frac{h}{2}$.

So, the last class interval should be 1.59 - 1.69.

Conclusion: No, it is incorrect to say that the last interval will be 1.55 - 1.73.

To Find:

Is the number of children who watched TV for 10 or more hours equal to 22?

Solution:

The phrase "10 or more hours" includes the following class intervals from the table:

1. 10 - 15 hours

2. 15 - 20 hours

The total number of children in these categories is the sum of their frequencies.

The number of children who watched TV for 10 or more hours is 6.

The value 22 given in the question is actually the sum of the first two frequencies ($8 + 16 = 24$, which doesn't match either).

Conclusion: No, we cannot say that the number of children is 22. The correct number is 6.

Solution:

No, the experimental (empirical) probability of an event cannot be a negative number.

Reason:

The experimental probability of an event $E$ is defined as:

$P(E) = \frac{\text{Number of trials in which the event happened}}{\text{Total number of trials}}$

Since the number of trials and the frequency of an event are counts of occurrences, they can only be non-negative integers (greater than or equal to zero). A ratio of two non-negative numbers can never be negative.

Thus, $P(E) \geq 0$.

Solution:

No, the experimental probability of an event cannot be greater than 1.

Reason:

The probability is the ratio of the number of trials in which the event occurred to the total number of trials conducted.

In any experiment, the number of successful outcomes ($m$) can never exceed the total number of trials ($n$).

Since $m \leq n$, the value of the fraction $\frac{m}{n}$ will always be less than or equal to 1.

Thus, $0 \leq P(E) \leq 1$.

Given:

The statement: "As the number of tosses of a coin increases, the ratio of the number of heads to the total number of tosses will be $\frac{1}{2}$."

To Find:

Determine if the statement is correct and provide the correct version if needed, without using calculus.

Solution:

The statement is incorrect.

In any random experiment, the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials is known as the experimental (or empirical) probability.

$\text{Experimental Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of heads}}{\text{Total number of tosses}}$

The word "will be" in the original statement implies that the ratio will eventually become exactly equal to $\frac{1}{2}$. However, this is not a certainty in experimental trials. Even with a very large number of tosses, the number of heads may not be exactly half of the total tosses; for instance, in 1,000,000 tosses, you might get 500,050 heads, which makes the ratio $0.50005$.

While the ratio fluctuates in small samples (e.g., getting 4 heads in 5 tosses), as the number of trials becomes very large, the experimental probability tends to get closer and closer to the theoretical probability of $\frac{1}{2}$, but it does not have to equal it exactly.

Correct Statement:

As the number of tosses of a coin increases, the ratio of the number of heads to the total number of tosses approaches $\frac{1}{2}$.

Given:

Heights (in cm) of 30 girls: 140, 140, 160, 139, 153, 153, 146, 150, 148, 150, 152, 146, 154, 150, 160, 148, 150, 148, 140, 148, 153, 138, 152, 150, 148, 138, 152, 140, 146, 148.

To Find:

Frequency distribution table for the given data.

Solution:

First, we identify the distinct heights and count their occurrences using tally marks.

Given:

Arranged observations: 26, 29, 42, 53, $x$, $x + 2$, 70, 75, 82, 93

Median = 65

To Find:

The value of $x$.

Solution:

The number of observations ($n$) is 10, which is an even number.

For an even number of observations, the median is the average of the $\left(\frac{n}{2}\right)^{th}$ and $\left(\frac{n}{2} + 1\right)^{th}$ observations.

From the given data:

$5^{th}$ observation $= x$

$6^{th}$ observation $= x + 2$

Substituting these values into the median formula:

Multiplying by 2 on both sides:

$130 = 2x + 2$

$2x = 130 - 2$

$2x = 128$

$x = \frac{\cancel{128}^{64}}{\cancel{2}_{1}}$

Hence, the value of $x$ is 64.

Given:

Mortality table showing survival counts for ages 60 to 65.

Solution (i):

To Find: Probability of a person aged 60 dying within a year.

A person aged 60 dying within a year means they do not survive to reach the age of 61.

Number of persons surviving at age 60 = 16090

Number of persons surviving at age 61 = 11490

Number of persons who died between age 60 and 61:

Probability $P(\text{dying within a year}) = \frac{\text{Number of deaths between 60 and 61}}{\text{Total surviving at age 60}}$

$P = \frac{4600}{16090}$

$P = \frac{\cancel{4600}}{\cancel{16090}} = \frac{460}{1609} \approx 0.286$

Solution (ii):

To Find: Probability that a person aged 61 will live for 4 years.

A person aged 61 living for 4 years means they must reach the age of $61 + 4 = 65$ years.

Number of persons surviving at age 61 = 11490

Number of persons surviving at age 65 = 2320

Probability $P(\text{living for 4 years}) = \frac{\text{Number of persons reaching age 65}}{\text{Total surviving at age 61}}$

$P = \frac{2320}{11490}$

$P = \frac{\cancel{2320}}{\cancel{11490}} = \frac{232}{1149} \approx 0.202$

Given:

Blood groups of 30 students.

To Find:

Frequency distribution table for the given data.

Solution:

We count the occurrence of each blood group from the given list of 30 students to determine the frequency.

Given:

Digits of $\pi$ after the decimal point: 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5, 8, 9, 7, 9, 3, 2, 3, 8, 4, 6, 2, 6, 4, 3, 3, 8, 3, 2, 7, 9, 5, 0, 2, 8, 8.

To Find:

Frequency distribution of the digits 0 to 9.

Solution:

We count the number of times each digit from 0 to 9 appears in the sequence of 35 decimal places.

Given:

Scores of 33 students in a mathematics test.

To Find:

Frequency distribution table for the scores.

Solution:

Counting the frequency of each unique score:

Given:

Mid-points of the classes and their frequencies.

To Find:

1. Class size.

2. Continuous grouped frequency distribution.

Solution:

Step 1: Calculate the class size ($h$).

The class size is the difference between two consecutive mid-points.

Step 2: Calculate the class intervals.

To find the lower limit ($l$) and upper limit ($u$) of a class with mid-point $x$, we use:

$l = x - \frac{h}{2}$ and $u = x + \frac{h}{2}$

Here, $\frac{h}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5$.

For the first mid-point 5:

$l = 5 - 5 = 0$

$u = 5 + 5 = 10$

The first interval is $0 - 10$. Similarly, we calculate others.

Hence, the class size is 10.

Given:

A discrete frequency distribution.

To Find:

1. Continuous grouped frequency distribution.

2. Classification for 153.5 and 157.5.

Solution:

Step 1: Convert to continuous classes.

The gap between the upper limit of one class and the lower limit of the next class is $154 - 153 = 1$.

The adjustment factor is $\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$.

We subtract 0.5 from each lower limit and add 0.5 to each upper limit.

Step 2: Identify inclusion of specific values.

In a continuous distribution, a value equal to a limit is included in the class where it is the lower limit.

1. The value 153.5 is the upper limit of $149.5 - 153.5$ and the lower limit of $153.5 - 157.5$. Thus, it is included in the interval 153.5 - 157.5.

2. The value 157.5 is the upper limit of $153.5 - 157.5$ and the lower limit of $157.5 - 161.5$. Thus, it is included in the interval 157.5 - 161.5.

Given:

Expenditure on various heads: Food ($\textsf{₹} 4000$), Education ($\textsf{₹} 2500$), Clothing ($\textsf{₹} 1000$), House Rent ($\textsf{₹} 3500$), Others ($\textsf{₹} 2500$), and Savings ($\textsf{₹} 1500$).

Solution:

To represent the data using a bar graph, we follow these steps:

1. Draw two perpendicular lines, the horizontal axis (x-axis) representing the Head and the vertical axis (y-axis) representing the Expenditure.

2. Along the y-axis, we choose a suitable scale. Let 1 unit = $\textsf{₹} 500$.

3. We then draw bars of equal width with equal gaps between them. The height of each bar is determined by the corresponding expenditure value.

The heights of the bars will be as follows:

Food: $4000 \div 500 = 8$ units

Education: $2500 \div 500 = 5$ units

Clothing: $1000 \div 500 = 2$ units

House Rent: $3500 \div 500 = 7$ units

Others: $2500 \div 500 = 5$ units

Savings: $1500 \div 500 = 3$ units

Given:

Expenditure on various education sectors in crores of rupees ($\textsf{₹}$).

Solution:

To draw the bar graph, we represent the Educational Sectors on the horizontal axis and the Expenditure (in Crores) on the vertical axis.

We choose a scale for the vertical axis: 1 unit = $\textsf{₹} 20$ Crores.

The heights of the bars are calculated as follows:

Elementary Education: $240 \div 20 = 12$ units

Secondary Education: $120 \div 20 = 6$ units

University Education: $190 \div 20 = 9.5$ units

Teacher's Training: $20 \div 20 = 1$ unit

Social Education: $10 \div 20 = 0.5$ units

Other Programmes: $115 \div 20 = 5.75$ units

Cultural Programmes: $25 \div 20 = 1.25$ units

Technical Education: $125 \div 20 = 6.25$ units

Given:

Letters: a, e, i, o, r, t, u with their respective frequencies.

Solution:

We represent the Letters on the x-axis and their Frequency on the y-axis.

Let the scale for the y-axis be 1 unit = 10 units of frequency.

The lengths of the bars will be:

a = 7.5 units, e = 12.5 units, i = 8.0 units, o = 7.0 units, r = 8.0 units, t = 9.5 units, u = 7.5 units.

Given:

Mean $\overline{x} = 20.2$

Observations ($x_i$): 10, 15, 20, 25, 30

Frequencies ($f_i$): 6, 8, p, 10, 6

To Find:

The value of $p$.

Solution:

First, we construct the table to find the product $f_i x_i$.

We know the formula for the mean is:

Substituting the given values:

Cross-multiplying:

$20.2(30 + p) = 610 + 20p$

$606 + 20.2p = 610 + 20p$

Grouping the terms containing $p$:

$20.2p - 20p = 610 - 606$

Hence, the value of $p$ is 20.

Given:

Variable ($x_i$): 4, 6, 8, 10, 12

Frequency ($f_i$): 4, 8, 14, 11, 3

To Find:

The mean of the distribution.

Solution:

We calculate the product of the variable and its frequency in the table below:

The mean is given by:

Substituting the totals from the table:

Hence, the mean of the distribution is 8.05.

Given:

Total number of students ($n$) = 50

Number of girls ($n_1$) = 30

Mean marks of girls ($\overline{x_1}$) = 73

Mean marks of boys ($\overline{x_2}$) = 71

To Find:

The mean score of the whole class ($\overline{x}$).

Solution:

First, we find the number of boys in the class:

Now, we calculate the total marks scored by the girls:

Next, we calculate the total marks scored by the boys:

The total marks scored by the whole class is:

$\text{Sum of all marks} = 2190 + 1420 = 3610$

Now, the mean score of the whole class is:

$\overline{x} = \frac{\text{Total Marks}}{\text{Total Students}}$

$\overline{x} = \frac{3610}{50}$

$\overline{x} = \frac{361}{5} = 72.2$

Hence, the mean score of the whole class is 72.2.

Given:

Number of observations ($n$) = 50

Incorrect mean ($\overline{x}$) = 80.4

Incorrect observation = 69

Correct observation = 96

To Find:

The correct mean.

Solution:

First, we find the incorrect sum of the observations:

Now, we calculate the correct sum by subtracting the wrong value and adding the correct value:

$\text{Correct Sum} = \text{Incorrect Sum} - \text{Incorrect value} + \text{Correct value}$

$\text{Correct Sum} = 4020 - 69 + 96$

So, $\text{Correct Sum} = 4020 + 27 = 4047$.

Finally, we calculate the correct mean:

$\text{Correct Mean} = \frac{\text{Correct Sum}}{n}$

$\text{Correct Mean} = \frac{4047}{50}$

$\text{Correct Mean} = 80.94$

The correct mean of the observations is 80.94.

Given:

Ascending order: 6, 14, 15, 17, $x + 1$, $2x - 13$, 30, 32, 34, 43

Number of observations ($n$) = 10

Median = 24

To Find:

The value of $x$.

Solution:

Since the number of observations $n = 10$ is even, the median is the mean of the $\left(\frac{n}{2}\right)^{th}$ and $\left(\frac{n}{2} + 1\right)^{th}$ observations.

From the given data:

$5^{th} \text{ observation} = x + 1$

$6^{th} \text{ observation} = 2x - 13$

Substituting these in the formula:

Multiplying both sides by 2:

$48 = 3x - 12$

$3x = 48 + 12$

$3x = 60$

The value of $x$ is 20.

Given:

Points scored: 17, 2, 7, 27, 25, 5, 14, 18, 10, 24, 48, 10, 8, 7, 10, 28

To Find:

Median and Mode of the data.

Solution:

Step 1: Find the Mode

To find the mode, we count the frequency of each score:

Since the score 10 occurs the maximum number of times (3 times), the Mode is 10.

Step 2: Find the Median

First, we arrange the data in ascending order:

2, 5, 7, 7, 8, 10, 10, 10, 14, 17, 18, 24, 25, 27, 28, 48

Total number of observations ($n$) = 16 (which is even).

$\text{Median} = \frac{\left( \frac{16}{2} \right)^{th} \text{ observation} + \left( \frac{16}{2} + 1 \right)^{th} \text{ observation}}{2}$

$\text{Median} = \frac{8^{th} \text{ observation} + 9^{th} \text{ observation}}{2}$

From the ordered list:

$8^{th} \text{ observation} = 10$

$9^{th} \text{ observation} = 14$

Hence, the median is 12 and the mode is 10.

To Find:

The frequency distribution table based on the provided histogram.

Solution:

By observing the given histogram (Fig 14.2), we can determine the number of workers (frequency) for each wage interval (class interval).

The table above represents the daily wages of 145 workers in a factory.

Given:

Total number of households surveyed ($n$) = 4000.

Solution (i):

Event: Household earning $\textsf{₹} 10000 - \textsf{₹} 14999$ and having exactly one TV.

Number of such households ($m_1$) = 240.

$P(\text{E}_1) = \frac{m_1}{n} = \frac{240}{4000}$

$P(\text{E}_1) = \frac{\cancel{240}^{3}}{\cancel{4000}_{50}} = \frac{3}{50} = 0.06$

Solution (ii):

Event: Household earning $\textsf{₹} 25000$ and more and owning 2 TVs.

Number of such households ($m_2$) = 760.

$P(\text{E}_2) = \frac{m_2}{n} = \frac{760}{4000}$

$P(\text{E}_2) = \frac{\cancel{760}^{19}}{\cancel{4000}_{100}} = \frac{19}{100} = 0.19$

Solution (iii):

Event: Household not having any television (0 TV sets).

Number of such households ($m_3$) = $20 + 10 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 30$.

$P(\text{E}_3) = \frac{30}{4000}$

$P(\text{E}_3) = \frac{\cancel{30}^{3}}{\cancel{4000}_{400}} = \frac{3}{400} = 0.0075$

Given:

Total number of trials ($n$) = 500.

Solution (i): Sum is 3

Solution (ii): Sum more than 10

Sums more than 10 are 11 and 12.

Frequency ($f_2$) = Frequency(11) + Frequency(12) = $28 + 15 = 43$.

$P(\text{sum } > 10) = \frac{43}{500} = 0.086$

Solution (iii): Sum less than or equal to 5

Sums are 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Solution (iv): Sum between 8 and 12

The sums between 8 and 12 are 9, 10, and 11.

Frequency ($f_4$) = $53 + 46 + 28 = 127$.

$P(8 < \text{sum} < 12) = \frac{127}{500} = 0.254$

Given:

Total number of cartons ($n$) = 700.

Solution (i): No defective bulb

Frequency of 0 defective bulbs ($f_1$) = 400.

$P(\text{no defective}) = \frac{400}{700} = \frac{4}{7}$

Solution (ii): Defective bulbs from 2 to 6

Sum of frequencies from 2 to 6 defective bulbs:

$f_2 = 48 + 41 + 18 + 8 + 3 = 118$.

$P(\text{2 to 6 defective}) = \frac{118}{700} = \frac{59}{350}$

Solution (iii): Defective bulbs less than 4

Defective bulbs can be 0, 1, 2, or 3.

$f_3 = 400 + 180 + 48 + 41 = 669$.

$P(\text{less than 4 defective}) = \frac{669}{700}$

Given:

Total number of working days ($n$) = 200.

Solution (i): No defective part

Frequency of 0 defective parts ($f_1$) = 50.

$P(\text{0 defective}) = \frac{50}{200} = 0.25$

Solution (ii): Atleast one defective part

This includes 1 or more defective parts. It can be found as $1 - P(\text{0 defective})$.

$P(\text{atleast 1}) = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75$

Solution (iii): Not more than 5 defective parts

This includes 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 defective parts.

$f_3 = 50 + 32 + 22 + 18 + 12 + 12 = 146$.

$P(\text{not more than 5}) = \frac{146}{200} = 0.73$

Solution (iv): More than 13 defective parts

The maximum number of defective parts recorded is 13. Frequency for more than 13 is 0.

$P(\text{more than 13}) = \frac{0}{200} = 0$

Given:

Total number of workers ($n$) = $38 + 27 + 86 + 46 + 3 = 200$.

Solution (i): 40 years or more

This includes classes: 40-49, 50-59, and 60 above.

Frequency ($f_1$) = $86 + 46 + 3 = 135$.

$P(\text{age } \geq 40) = \frac{135}{200} = 0.675$

Solution (ii): Under 40 years

This includes classes: 20-29 and 30-39.

Frequency ($f_2$) = $38 + 27 = 65$.

$P(\text{age } < 40) = \frac{65}{200} = 0.325$

Solution (iii): Age from 30 to 39 years

Frequency ($f_3$) = 27.

$P(30 \leq \text{age} \leq 39) = \frac{27}{200} = 0.135$

Solution (iv): Under 60 but over 39 years

This includes classes: 40-49 and 50-59.

Frequency ($f_4$) = $86 + 46 = 132$.

$P(39 < \text{age} < 60) = \frac{132}{200} = 0.66$

Given:

Frequency distribution of marks for Class VIII with unequal class intervals.

To Find:

Construct a histogram for the given distribution.

Solution:

In the given data, the class intervals are of unequal widths. To represent this as a histogram, we must adjust the frequencies so that the area of each rectangle is proportional to its frequency. The heights of the rectangles are calculated based on the minimum class size.

Here, the minimum class size ($h_{min}$) is 50 (from $150 - 100 = 50$).

The formula for the adjusted frequency (length of the rectangle) is:

Let us calculate the values for each interval:

Now, we plot the Marks on the horizontal axis and the Adjusted Frequency on the vertical axis to draw the histogram.

Given:

Raw marks of 60 students ($30 \times 2$ sections).

To Find:

1. Grouped frequency distribution table (0-9, 10-19, etc.).

2. Number of students who secured more than 49 marks.

Solution:

We classify the data into discrete groups and count the frequency of each using tally marks.

Now, we need to find the number of students who secured more than 49 marks. This include students in the groups 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80-89, and 90-99.

Hence, 32 students secured more than 49 marks.

Given:

Marks of 60 students in mathematics.

To Find:

Grouped frequency distribution table (Inclusive Method) starting from 0 - 9 with class width 10.

Solution:

We arrange the marks into groups of 10 using the inclusive method. In this method, both the lower and upper limits are included in the class.

Given:

Marks of 60 students from Question 1.

To Find:

Grouped frequency distribution table (Exclusive Method) where 20 is not included in 10 - 20.

Solution:

In the exclusive method, the upper limit of a class is excluded from that class and included as the lower limit of the next class. For example, a score of 10 is included in 10 - 20, but a score of 20 is included in 20 - 30.

Given:

Continuous frequency distribution of students' heights.

To Find:

Construct a histogram for the data.

Solution:

The given data is in continuous form, and the class sizes are equal (width = 3 cm). We represent Height (in cm) on the x-axis and Number of students on the y-axis.

Since the heights start from 150 (not 0), we use a kink (broken line) on the x-axis near the origin.

The scale chosen is:

On x-axis: 1 unit = 3 cm

On y-axis: 1 unit = 2 students

Given:

Frequency distribution of teachers' ages in years (Inclusive form).

To Find:

Construct a histogram for the data.

Solution:

The given data is in inclusive (discrete) form. To draw a histogram, we must first convert it into continuous grouped frequency distribution.

Difference between limits = $25 - 24 = 1$.

Adjustment factor = $1 \div 2 = 0.5$.

We subtract 0.5 from each lower limit and add 0.5 to each upper limit.

Now, we represent the Continuous Age on the x-axis and Number of teachers on the y-axis.

Given:

The frequency distribution of lengths of 62 leaves is given in inclusive (discrete) form.

To Find:

Represent the data using a histogram.

Solution:

Before drawing a histogram, we must convert the inclusive class intervals into continuous grouped frequency distribution.

The difference between the upper limit of one class and the lower limit of the next class is $127 - 126 = 1$.

The adjustment factor is $\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$. We subtract 0.5 from the lower limits and add 0.5 to the upper limits.

Steps to draw the histogram:

1. Mark the continuous class intervals on the x-axis and frequencies on the y-axis.

2. Since the first class starts at 117.5, use a kink on the x-axis.

3. Construct rectangles with class width as the base and frequency as the height.

Given:

Frequency distribution of marks for 80 students with unequal class widths.

To Find:

Construct a histogram.

Solution:

Since the class intervals are unequal, the heights of the rectangles in the histogram must be adjusted so that the area is proportional to the frequency.

Minimum class width ($h_{min}$) = 10.

Length of rectangle (Adjusted Frequency) $= \frac{\text{Frequency}}{\text{Class Width}} \times h_{min}$.

Now, we draw the histogram using these adjusted heights on the y-axis.

Given:

Continuous frequency distribution of car speeds.

To Find:

Construct a histogram and a frequency polygon on the same graph.

Solution:

Step 1: Draw the histogram using Class Interval on the x-axis and Frequency on the y-axis. The class width is uniform (10 units).

Step 2: Calculate the Class Marks (Mid-points) for each interval to plot the frequency polygon.

$\text{Class Mark} = \frac{\text{Upper Limit} + \text{Lower Limit}}{2}$

Step 3: Mark the mid-points of the top of each histogram bar. Connect these mid-points with straight lines. To complete the polygon, extend it to the mid-points of imaginary classes 20 - 30 and 100 - 110 with zero frequency.

Solution:

To draw a frequency polygon without a histogram, we use the Class Marks and their corresponding frequencies. We also add two additional imaginary classes with zero frequency at the beginning and end.

Procedure:

1. Plot the points $(25, 0), (35, 3), ..., (105, 0)$ on a graph paper.

2. Join these points sequentially using straight lines to form the frequency polygon.

To Find:

1. Represent marks of Section A and Section B using frequency polygons on the same graph.

2. State the observations from the graph.

Solution:

To draw frequency polygons, we first need to find the Class Marks for the given class intervals.

The class marks for both sections are calculated in the table below:

To complete the polygon, we include imaginary classes with zero frequency at both ends: $(-15 - 0)$ with class mark $-7.5$ and $(90 - 105)$ with class mark $97.5$.

Observation:

1. Section B has a higher peak (40) in the marks range of $60 - 75$ compared to Section A (35).

2. In the lower marks range ($0 - 15$) and higher marks range ($30 - 60$), Section A has more students than Section B.

3. Overall, both sections show a similar trend where the frequency increases with marks up to the $60 - 75$ range and then drops sharply.

Given:

Mean $\overline{x} = 50$.

To Find:

The value of $a$ and the frequencies for $x = 30$ and $x = 70$.

Solution:

First, we create a table to calculate $\sum f_i$ and $\sum f_i x_i$.

We use the formula for mean:

Substituting the given values:

Cross-multiplying:

$50(12a + 60) = 640a + 2800$

$600a + 3000 = 640a + 2800$

$3000 - 2800 = 640a - 600a$

Now, calculating the specific frequencies:

Frequency for $x = 30$ is $5a + 3 = 5(5) + 3 = 28$.

Frequency for $x = 70$ is $7a - 11 = 7(5) - 11 = 24$.

Hence, the value of $a$ is 5, and the frequencies of 30 and 70 are 28 and 24 respectively.

Given:

Mean marks of boys ($\overline{x_1}$) = 70.

Mean marks of girls ($\overline{x_2}$) = 73.

Combined mean ($\overline{x}$) = 71.

To Find:

The ratio of number of boys ($n_1$) to the number of girls ($n_2$).

Solution:

We use the formula for combined mean:

Substituting the given values:

Cross-multiplying:

$71(n_1 + n_2) = 70n_1 + 73n_2$

$71n_1 + 71n_2 = 70n_1 + 73n_2$

Grouping $n_1$ and $n_2$ terms on opposite sides:

$71n_1 - 70n_1 = 73n_2 - 71n_2$

Finding the ratio:

Hence, the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls is 2 : 1.

Given:

Blood sugar levels of 25 patients.

To Find:

Mean, Median, and Mode.

Solution:

Step 1: Calculate the Mean

Sum of all observations = $87 + 71 + 83 + 67 + 85 + 77 + $$ 69 + 76 + 65 + 85 + 85 + 54 + 70 + 68 + 80 + $$ 73 + 78 + 68 + 85 + $$ 73 + 81 + 78 + 81 + 77 + 75$

Number of observations ($n$) = 25.

Step 2: Calculate the Median

First, arrange the data in ascending order:

54, 65, 67, 68, 68, 69, 70, 71, 73, 73, 75, 76, 77, 77, 78, 78, 80, 81, 81, 83, 85, 85, 85, 85, 87

Since $n = 25$ is odd:

Step 3: Calculate the Mode

We count the frequencies of the observations:

Since 85 appears the maximum number of times (4 times), the mode is 85.

Final Results: Mean = 75.64 mg/dl, Median = 77 mg/dl, and Mode = 85 mg/dl.
