Q1: Vocational training complements traditional education by providing practical skills and
From the above answer the following questions: (2024)
(A) What is the lower limit of the modal class of the above data?
(B) Find the median class of the above data.
OR
Find the number of participants of age less than 50 years who undergo vocational training.
(C) Give the empirical relationship between mean, median and mode.
Ans:
First convert the given table in exclusive form subtract 0.5 from lower limit and add 0.5 to upper limit, so the new table will be:
(i) Modal class is the class with highest frequency, so, it is 19.5 – 24.5. hence, lower limit will be ‘19.5’.
(ii) (a)
N/2 = 365/2 = 182.5
Medium class will be 19.5 – 24.5.
OR
(b) Approx 361 participants are there at Class Interval 44.5-49.5 showing 361 cummulative frequency.
Hence 361 participants are less than 50 year of age who undergo vocational training.
(iii) Empirical relationship between mean, median and mode.
Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean
Ans: (b)
If each value of observation is increased by 3. then mean is also increased by 3.
Q3: For the following distribution. (2023)
The sum of the lower limits of the median and modal class is
(a) 15
(b) 25
(c) 30
(d) 35
Ans: (b)
Here, n/2 = 66/2 = 33
Cumulative frequency just greater than 33 is 37.
So. median class is 10 - 15.Lower limit of median class = 10
Highest frequency is 20 so modal class is 15 - 20.
Sum of the lower limits of the median and modaI class is 10 + 15 = 25
Q4: India meteorological department observes seasonal and annual rainfall every year in different subdivisions of our country.
It helps them to compare and analyse the results. The table given below shows sub-division wise seasonal (monsoon] rainfall [mm) in 2018:
Based on the above information, answer the following questions.
(I) Write the modal class.
(II) Find the median of the given data.
Find the mean rainfall in this season.
(Ill) If sub-division having at least 1000 mm rainfall during monsoon season, is considered good rainfall sub-division, then how many sub-divisions had good rainfall? (2023)
Ans:
(i) Here, maximum class frequency is 7 and class corresponding to this frequency is 600-800, so the modal class is 600-800.
(ii) Here n/2 = 24/2 = 12
Class whose cumulative frequency just greater than and nearest to n/2 is called median class.
Here, cf. = 13 (>12) and corresponding class 600 - 800 is : median class.
1 = 600. c.f. = 6,f= 7, h = 200
So. the median of the given data is 771.429
Assumed mean a = 1100 and crass size, h = 400 - 200 = 200
So, mean rainfall in the season is 850 mm.
(iii) Number of sub-division having good rainfall
= 2 + 3 +1 + 1 = 7
Q5: The monthly expenditure on milk in 200 families of a Housing Society is given below
Find the value of x and also, find the median and mean expenditure on milk. (2023)
Ans:
Since, 200 = 172 + x ⇒ x = 28
Let the assumed mean, a = 3250 and class size, h = 500
= 3250 - 587.5 = 2,662.5
Mean expenditure = Rs. 2,662.5
Also, we have n/2= 100, which lies in the class interval 2500 - 3000.
Median class is 2500 - 3000.
Here l = 2500, c.f. = 9, f = 28, h = 500
Ans: Table for the given data is as follows:
Now Mean =
Solving for p:
∴ p = 96/48= 2

⇒ d = xi - a = xi - 12.5
Now, we have the frequency distribution table as follows:
= 13.9
Q11: The mode of a grouped frequency distribution is 75 and the modal class is 65-80. The frequency of the class preceding the modal class is 6 and the frequency of the class succeeding the modal class is 8. Find the frequency of the modaI class. (2022)
Ans: We know that
Here given l = 65,f0 = 6, f1= f, h = 15, f2 = 8 and mode = 75
So, from equation (i), we get
Q12: Find the missing frequency 'x ' of the following data, if its mode is 240: (2022)
View Answer
Ans: Here the given mode = 240, which lies in interval 200-300.
l = 200, f0 = 230, f1= 270, f2 = x (missing frequency] and h = 100
Missing frequency, x = 210
Q13: If mode of the following frequency distribution is 55, then find the value of x. (2022)
View Answer
Ans: Here, mode of the frequency distribution = 55.
which lies in the class interval 45-60.
∴ Modal class is 45 - 60
Lower limit (l) = 45
Class interval (h) = 15
Also, f 0 = 15, f 1 = x and f 2 = 10
⇒ 10(30 – x – 10) = 225 – 15x
⇒ 300 –10x – 100 = 225 – 15x
⇒ 5x = 25
⇒ x = 5
Q14: Heights of 50 students in class X of a school are recorded and following data is obtained: (2022)
Find the median height of the students.
Ans: The cumulative frequency distribution table is as follows:
Now, we have N = 50
Since, the cumulative frequency just greater than 25 is 27.
∴ The median class is 140 - 145
and also, I = 140, c.f. = 15, f = 12 and h = 5
∴ Median height of the students = 144.16 cm.
Q15: Health insurance is an agreement whereby the insurance company agrees to undertake a guarantee of compensation for medical expenses in case the insured faffs ill or meets with an accident which leads to Hospitalisation of the insured. The government aIso promotes health insurance by providing a deduction from income tax.
An SB I health insurance agent found the following data for distribution of ages of 100 policyholders.
The health insurance policies art given to persons having age 15 years a nd onwards briefest han 60 years.
(i) Find the modal age of the policy holders.
(ii) Find the median age of the policy holders. (2022)
Ans: (i) It is clear from the given data, maximum frequency is 33. which lies in 35-40
∴ Modal class is 35-40.
So, modal age of policy holders is 37 years approx.
Q16: During the annual sports meet in a school, all the athletes were very enthusiastic. They all wanted to be the winner so that their house could stand first. The instructor noted down the time taken by a group of students to complete a certain race. The data recorded is given below:
Based on the above, answer the following questions: (2021)
We need to make the following frequency table as follows:
(i) What is the class mark of the modal class ?
(a) 60
(b) 70
(c) 80
(d) 140
Ans: (b)
Here the greatest frequency is 7, which lies in the interval 60-80.
So, modal class is 60-80.
Class mark of modal class = upper limit + lower limit / 2
= 60 + 80 / 2 = 70
So, class mark of modal class is 70.
(ii) The mode of the given data is
(a) 70-33
(b) 71-33
(c) 72-33
(d) 73-33
Ans: (d)
(iii) The median class of the given data is
(a) 20-40
(b) 40-60
(c) 80-100
(d) 60-80
Ans: (d)
Here n = 20 ⇒ n /2 = 10
Cumulative frequency just greater than 10 is 15 and corresponding interval is 60-80.
So, median class is 60-80.
(iv) The sum of the lower limits of median class and modal class is 1
(a) 80
(b) 140
(c) 120
(d) 100
Ans: (c)
Median class = 60-80 .
∴ Lower limit of median = 60
Modal class - 60-80 = 120
∴ Lower limit of modal class = 60
So, the sum of lower limit of median and modal class = 60 + 60 = 120
(v) The median time (in seconds) of the given data is
(a) 65-7
(b) 85-7
(c) 45-7
(d) 25-7
Ans: (a)
From the above data, we have
l = 60, f = 7, c.f. = 8, h = 20
So, median time (in sec) of the given data = 65.7 sec.

(a) 16
(b) 17
(c) 13
(d) 18
