MCQ 11 Mark
If the 'less than' type ogive and 'more than' type ogive intersect each other at $(20.5,15.5)$ then the median of the given data is
  • A
    36.0
  • 20.5
  • C
    15.5
  • D
    5.5
Answer
Correct option: B.
20.5
(b)
The less than ogive curve gives cumulative frequency (probability) for $x \leq a$.
The more than ogive curve gives cumulative frequency (probability) for $x \geq a$.
They intersect exactly at the median because cumulative frequency will be $50 \%$ of the total at median. So, median is 20.5
Hence the correct option is (b).

MCQ 21 Mark
Relationship among mean, median and mode is:
  • A
    3 Median = Mode + 2 Mean
  • B
    3 Mean $=$ Median +2 Mode
  • C
    3 Mode $=$ Mean $=2$ Median
  • D
    Mode $=3$ Mean -2 Median
Answer
a - The empirical relationship between the three measures of central tendency is Median = Mode +2 Mean

MCQ 31 Mark
If the mode of some data is $7$ and their mean is also $7$ , then their median is:
  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $9$
  • C
    $8$
  • $7$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$7$
The relation between mean, median and mode is Mode $=3$ Median $-2$ Mean
Substitute mode $=7$ and mean $=7$ in above equation,
$7=3 \times \text { Median }-2 \times 7$
$\Rightarrow 7=3 \times \text { Median }-14$
$\Rightarrow 3 \times \text { Median }=21$
Divide the above equation by $3 ,$
$\text { Median }=\frac{21}{3}=7$
Hence, the correct option is $(d).$

MCQ 51 Mark
For the following frequency distribution
Classes: $0-5$ $5-10$ $10-15$ $15-20$ $20-25$
Frequency: $8$ $10$ $19$ $25$ $8$
The upper limit of median class is
  • A
    $15$
  • B
    $10$
  • $20$
  • D
    $25$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$20$
Class $f$ $cf$
$0-5$ $8$ $8$
$5-10$ $10$ $18$
$10-15$ $19$ $37$
$15-20$ $25$ $62$
$20-25$ $8$ $70$
  $N = 70$  
$N=70$
$\frac{N}{2}=35$
$cf$ just greater than $\frac{ N }{2}$ is $62$
$\therefore 15-20$ is median class
Upper limit $= 20$
