1. The following table gives the distribution of total household expenditure (in rupees) of manual workers in a city.

Expenditure (in rupees) (x)Frequency (fi)Expenditure (in rupees) (xi)Frequency (fi)
100 – 150 24300 – 35030
150 – 200 40350 – 40022
200 – 25033400 – 45016
250 – 30028450 – 5007

Find the average expenditure (in rupees) per household

Sol: Let the assumed mean (A) = 275

400 – 45042515031648
450 – 5004752004728
    N = 200Sum = -35

We have

A = 275, h = 50

Mean = A + h * sum/N = 275 + 50 * -35/200 = 275 – 8.75 = 266.25

 

2. A survey was conducted by a group of students as a part of their environmental awareness program, in which they collected the following data regarding the number of plants in 200 houses in a locality. Find the mean number of plants per house.

Number of plants:0-2          2-4          4-6          6-B         8-10       10-12     12-14
Number of houses:1              2              1              5              6              2              3

Which method did you use for finding the mean, and why?

Sol:

Let us find class marks (x) = (upper class limit + lower class limit)/2

Now we may compute xi and fixi as following.

 

Number of plantsNumber of house (fi)xiFixi
0 – 2111
2 – 4236
4 – 6155
6 – 85735
8 – 106954
10 – 1221122
12 – 1431339
TotalN = 20 Sum = 162

From the table we may observe that

N = 20

Sum = 162

Mean  Ex-7.3 Statistics, Class 10, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | Extra Documents, Videos & Tests for Class 10 = Sum/N

162/20 = 8.1

So mean number of plants per house is 8.1

We have used for the direct method values Xand fi are very small

 

3. Consider the following distribution of daily wages of workers of a factory

Daily wages (in Rs)100-120                120-140                140-160                160-180                180-200
Number of workers:12                           16                           8                              6                              10

Find the mean daily wages of the workers of the factory by using an appropriate method.

Sol: Let the assume mean (A) = 150

Class intervalMid value xid= xi – 150ui = (xi-150)/20Frequency fiFiui
100 – 120110-40-212-24

160 – 18017020166
180 – 2001904021020
   N = 50Sum = -12 

We have

N = 50, h = 20

Mean = A + h x sum/N

= 150 + 2 x (-15)/5

= 150 – 4.8

= 145.2

 

4.Thirty women were examined in a hospital by a doctor and the number of heart beats per minute recorded and summarized as follows. Find the mean heart beats per minute for these women, choosing a suitable method.

Number of heart

Beats Per minute:65 – 68   68 – 71   71 – 74   74 – 77   77 – 80   80 – 83   83 – 86
Number of women:2                   4              3              8              7              4              2

Sol: we may find marks of each interval (xi) by using the relation

(x) = (upper class limit + lower class limit)/2

Class size of this data = 3

Now talking 75.5 as assumed mean (a)

We may calculate di, ui, fiui as following

Number of heart beats per minuteNumber of women (xi)xidi = xi – 75.5ui = (x– 755)/hfiui
65-68266.5-9-3-6
68-71969.5-6-2-8
71-74372.5-3-1-3
74-77875.5000
77-80778.5317
80-83481.5628
83-86284.5936
 N = 30   Sum = 4

Now we may observe from table that N = 30, sum = 4

Mean Ex-7.3 Statistics, Class 10, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | Extra Documents, Videos & Tests for Class 10= 75.5 + (4/3)x3

= 75.5 + 0.4

= 75.9

So mean heart beats per minute for those women are 75.9 beats per minute

Given,

sum of frequency = 50

5 + f+ 10 + f+ 7 + 8 = 50

f+ f= 20

3f+ 3f= 60 —- (1) [multiply both side by 3]

And mean = 62.8

Sum/ N = 62.8

(30f1+70f2+ 2060)/ 50 = 62.8

30f1+70f= 3140 – 2060

30f1+70f= 1080

3f1 + 7f= 108 —- (2) [divide it by 10]

subtract equation (1) from equation (2)

3f1 + 7f– 3f– 3f= 108 – 60

4f2 = 48

f= 12

Put value of f2 in equation (1)

Mean = A + h (sum/ N)

= 57 + 3 (45/400)

= 57 + 3/ 16

= 57+ 0.1875

= 57.19

Clearly mean number of mangoes kept in packing box is 57.19

 

22.The table below shows the daily expenditure on food of 25 households in a locality

Daily expenditure (in Rs):100-150                150-200                200-250                250-300                300-350
Number of households:               4                              5                              12                           2                              2 

Find the mean daily expenditure on food by a suitable method.

Sol: we may calculate class mark (xi) for each interval by using the relation

Ex-7.3 Statistics, Class 10, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | Extra Documents, Videos & Tests for Class 10

Class size = 50

Now, talking 225 as assumed mean (xi) we may calculate d,ui, fiui as follows

Daily expenditureFrequency fiMid value xi di= xi ­– 225

u(x– 225)

fiui
100 – 1504125-100-2-8
150 – 2005175-50-1-5
200 – 25012225000
250 – 30022755012
300 – 350232510024
 N = 25   Sum = -7

Now we may observe that

N = 25

Sum = -7

Ex-7.3 Statistics, Class 10, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | Extra Documents, Videos & Tests for Class 10

225 + 50 (-7/ 25)

225 – 14 = 211

So, mean daily expenditure on food is Rs 211

 

23.To find out the concentration of SOin the air (in parts per million i.e ppm) the data was collected for localities for 30 localities in a certain city and is presented below:

Concentration of SO(in ppm)Frequency
0.00 – 0.044
0.04 – 0.089
0.08 – 0.129
0.12 – 0.162
0.16 – 0.204
0.20 – 0.242

 Find the mean concentration of SOin the air

Sol: we may find class marks for each interval by using the relation

Ex-7.3 Statistics, Class 10, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | Extra Documents, Videos & Tests for Class 10

Class size of this data = 0.04

Now taking 0.04 assumed mean (xi) we may calculate d,ui, fiui as follows

Concentration of SO2Frequency fi

Class interval xi

 

 

di = x– 0.14uifiui
0.00 – 0.0440.02-0.12-3-12
0.04 – 0.0890.06-0.08-2-18
0.08 – 0.1290.10-0.04-1-9
0.12 – 0.1620.14000
0.16 – 0.2040.180.0414
0.20 – 0.2420.220.0824
TotalN = 30   Sum = -31

From the table we may observe that

N = 30

Sum = -31

 Ex-7.3 Statistics, Class 10, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | Extra Documents, Videos & Tests for Class 10

= 0.14 +(0.04)(-31/30)

= 0.099 ppm

So mean concentration of SO2 ­in the air is 0.099 ppm

 

24.A class teacher has the following absentee record of 40 students of a class for the whole term. Find the mean number of days a student was absent.

Number of days:0-6          6-10       10-14     14-20     20-28     28-38     38-40
Number of students:11           10           7              4              4              3              1

Sol: We may find class mark of each interval by using the relation

Ex-7.3 Statistics, Class 10, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | Extra Documents, Videos & Tests for Class 10

Now, taking 16 as assumed mean (a) we may

Calculate di and fidi  as follows

Number of daysNumber of students fiXid = x+ 10fidi
0 – 6113-13-143
6 – 10108-8-280
10 – 14712-4-28
14 – 2071600
20 – 28824832
28 – 363331751
30 – 401392323
TotalN = 40  Sum = -145

Now we may observe that

N = 40

Sum= -145

Ex-7.3 Statistics, Class 10, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | Extra Documents, Videos & Tests for Class 10

= 16 + (-145/ 40)

= 16 – 3.625

= 12.38

So mean number of days is 12.38 days, for which student was absent

 

25.The following table gives the literacy rate (in percentage) of 35 cities. Find the mean literacy rate.

Literacy rate (in %):45-55     55-65     65-75     75-85     85-95
Number of cites:3              10           11           8              3

Sol: We may find class marks by using the relation

Ex-7.3 Statistics, Class 10, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | Extra Documents, Videos & Tests for Class 10

Class size (h) for this data = 10

Now taking 70 as assumed mean (a) wrong

Calculate d,ui, fiui as follows

75 – 858801018
85 – 953902026
TotalN = 35   Sum = -2

Now we may observe that

N = 35

Sum = -2

Ex-7.3 Statistics, Class 10, Maths RD Sharma Solutions | Extra Documents, Videos & Tests for Class 10

= 70 + (-2/35)

= 70 – 4/7

= 70 – 0.57

= 69.43

So, mean literacy rate is 69.43 %
