Question 23 Marks
Find the mode of the given data:
Class interval
0-20
20-40
40-60
60-80
Frequency
15
6
18
10
Answer
As the dess 40-60has the maximum frequency,
so it is the modal class.
$\therefore\text{x}_{\text{k}}=40,\ \text{f}_{\text{k}}=18,\ \text{f}_{\text{k}-1}=6$ and $\text{f}_{\text{k}+1}=10$
Now,
Mode $=\text{x}_{\text{k}}+\text{h}\Big\{\frac{(\text{f}_\text{k}-\text{f}_{\text{k}-1})}{2\text{f}_\text{k}-\text{f}_{\text{k}-1}-\text{f}_{\text{k}+1}}\Big\}$
$=40+20\Big\{\frac{18-6}{2(18)-6-10}\Big\}$
$=40+20\times\frac{14}{20}$
$=40+12$
$=52$

Question 33 Marks
In a frequency distribution table with 12 classes, the class width is 2.5 and the lowest class boundary is 8.1, then what is the upper class boundary of the highest class?
Answer
Number of desses = 12
Class-width = 2.5
Lowest class boundary = 8.1
Thus, Upper class boundary of the highest class
= Lowest dass brundary + Class-width, x Number of classes
= 8.1 + 2.5 × 12
= 8.1 + 30
= 38.1

Question 43 Marks
The observations 29, 32, 48, 50, x, x + 2, 72, 78, 84, 95 are arranged in ascending order. What is the value of x if the median of the data is 63?
Answer
Observation on ascending order:
$29, 32, 48, 50, x, x +2, 72, 78, 84, 95$
$\Rightarrow$ Niumber of observations = N = 10 (even)
$\Rightarrow\text{Median}=\frac{\text{Value of}\Big(\frac{\text{N}}{2}\Big)^{\text{th}}\text{observation+Value of}\Big(\frac{\text{N}}{2}+1\Big)^{\text{th}}\text{observation}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow63=\frac{\text{Value of}\Big(\frac{10}{2}\Big)^{\text{th}}\text{observation+value of}\Big(\frac{10}{2}+1\Big)^{\text{th}}\text{observation}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow126=$ Value of $5^{\text {th }}$ observation + value of $6^{\text {th }}$ observation
$\Rightarrow126=\text{x}+(\text{x}+2)$
$\Rightarrow126=2\text{x}+2$
$\Rightarrow2\text{x}=124$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=62$

Form a 'more than type' cumulative frequency distribution.
Answer
Monthly consumption (in units)
Cumulative frequency
More than 65
60 + 4 = 64
More than 85
55 + 5 = 60
More than 105
42 + 13 = 55
More than 125
22 + 20 = 42
More than 145
8 + 14 = 22

Question 73 Marks
If the median of $\frac{\text{x}}{5},\ \frac{\text{x}}{4},\ \frac{\text{x}}{2},\ \text{x}$ and $\frac{\text{x}}{3},$ where x > 0, is 8, find the value of x.
Answer
Data in ascending order:
$\frac{\text{x}}{5},\ \frac{\text{x}}{4},\ \frac{\text{x}}{2},\ \text{x}$
⇒ Numberof observations - 5 (odd)
⇒ Median = value of $\Big(\frac{5+1}{2}\Big)^{\text{th}}$ observation
⇒ 8 = Value of $3^{rd}$ observation
$\Rightarrow8=\frac{\text{x}}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=24$

Question 83 Marks
The median of 19 observations is 30. Two more observations are made and the values of these are 8 and 32. Find the median of 21 observations taken together.
Answer
Total number of observations $= N =19$ (odd)
$\Rightarrow$ Median velue of $\left(\frac{ N +1}{2}\right)^{\text {th }}$ observation Value of $10^{\text {th }}$ observetion
Given, medtan $=30$
$\Rightarrow 10^{\text {th }}$ observation 1 s 30 .
Now, two values 8 and 32 are added.
Since $8<30$ and $32>30$, each one $d$ these two will go on either side of median.
Hence, median is not affected.
$\Rightarrow$ Median $=30$

  1. $\text{N}=2300\Rightarrow\frac{\text{N}}{2}=1150$
The cumulabve frequency Just greater than 1150 is 1330.

Hence, median dass is 40.5-50.5.

$\therefore$ class-mark of median class $=\frac{40.5+50.5}{2}=\frac{91}{2}=45.5$
  1. Here, maximum frequency = 529
Hence, Modal dess is 40.5-50.5

Thus, the cumulative frequency of modal class is 1330.
