9. Construct a frequency table with equal class intervals from the following data on
the monthly wages (in rupees) of 28 labourers working in a factory, taking one of
the class intervals as 210-230 (230 not included) :
220, 268, 258, 242, 210, 268, 272, 242, 311, 290, 300, 320, 319, 304, 302, 318, 306, 292,
254, 278, 210, 240, 280, 316, 306, 215, 256, 236.
Solution:
The frequency table of the monthly wages of 28 laborers working in a factory is shown
below:
Wages No: of Workers
210 – 230 4
230 – 250 4
250 – 270 5
270 – 290 3
290 – 310 7
310 – 330 5
10. The daily minimum temperatures in degrees Celsius recorded in a certain Arctic
region are as follows :
- 12.5, -10.8, -18.6, -8.4, -10.8, -4.2, -4.8, -6.7, -13.2, -11.8, -2.3, 1.2, 2.6, 0, -2.4, 0, 3.2,
2.7, 3.4, 0, -2.4, -2.4, 0, 3.2, 2.7, 3.4, 0, -2.4, -5.8, -8.9, -14.6, -12.3, -11.5, -7.8, -2.9
Represent them as frequency distribution table taking -19.9 to -15 as the first class
interval.
Solution:
The frequency table of the daily minimum temperatures is shown below:
