Question 25 Marks
A random survey of the number of children of various age groups playing in a park was found as follows

Age (in years) Number of children
1-2 5
2-3 3
3-5 6
5-7 12
7-10 9
10-15 10
15-17 4

Draw a histogram to represent the data above.

Answer
Here, the widths of the rectangles are varying. So, we need to make certain modifications in the lengths of the rectangles, so that the areas are became proportional to the frequencies.
The minimum class size is 1.
Length of rectangle (Adjusted frequency) = $\frac{\text { Minimum class size }}{\text { Class size of this class }}$ $\times$ Frequency
Then modified table of given data is shown below

Age (in years) Number of children (Frequency) Width of the class Length of the rectangle
1-2 5 1 $\frac{1}{1}$ $\times$ 5 = 5
2-3 3 1 $\frac{1}{1}$ $\times$ 3 = 3
3-5 6 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times$ 6 = 3
5-7 12 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times$ 12 = 6
7-10 9 3 $\frac{1}{3}$ $\times$ 9 = 3
10-15 10 5 $\frac{1}{5}$ $\times$ 10 = 2
15-17 4 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times$ 4 = 2

So, the histogram with varying width is given below

Question 105 Marks
In a city, the weekly observations made in a study on the cost of living index are given in the following table:

Cost of living index Number of weeks
140 - 150 5
150 - 160 10
160 - 170 20
170 - 180 9
180 - 190 6
190 - 200 2
Total 52

Draw a frequency polygon for the data above (without constructing a histogram)

Answer
Since we want to draw a frequency polygon without a histogram, let us find the class-marks of the classes given above, that is of 140 - 150, 150 - 160,.... For 140 - 150, the upper limit = 150, and the lower limit = 140
So, the class-mark = $\begin{equation} \frac{150+140}{2}=\frac{290}{2}=145 \end{equation}$
Continuing in the same manner, we find the class-marks of the other classes as well.
So, the new table obtained is as shown in the following table: Table
Cost of living indexClass-marksNumber of weeks
140 - 1501455
150 - 16015510
160 - 17016520
170 - 1801759
180 - 1901856
190 - 2001952
Total52
We can now draw a frequency polygon by plotting the class-marks along the horizontal axis, the frequencies along the vertical-axis, and then plotting and joining the points B(145, 5), C(155, 10), D(165, 20), E(175, 9), F(185, 6) and G(195, 2) by line segments. We should not forget to plot the point corresponding to the class-mark of the class 130 - 140 (just before the lowest class 140 - 150) with zero frequency, that is, A(135, 0), and the point H (205, 0) occurs immediately after G(195, 2). So, the resultant frequency polygon will be ABCDEFGH (see Fig.)

Draw a frequency polygon corresponding to this frequency distribution table.

Answer
The OABCDEFGHIJKL is the frequency polygon, which is shown in Fig.

Frequency polygons can also be drawn independently without drawing histograms. For this, we require the mid-points of the class-intervals used in the data. These mid-points of the class-intervals are called class-marks.

Question 125 Marks
A teacher wanted to analyse the performance of two sections of students in a mathematics test of 100 marks. Looking at their performances, she found that a few students got under 20 marks and a few got 70 marks or above. So she decided to group them into intervals of varying sizes as follows: 0 - 20, 20 - 30, . . ., 60 - 70, 70 - 100. Then she formed the following table:

Marks Number of students
0 - 20 7
20 - 30 10
30 - 40 10
40 - 50 20
50 - 60 20
60 - 70 15
70 - above 8

Question 135 Marks
A family with a monthly income of ₹ 20,000 had planned the following expenditures per month under various heads:

Heads Expenditure (in thousand rupees)
Grocery 4
Rent 5
Education of children 5
Medicine 5
Fuel 2
Entertainment 1
Miscellaneous 1

Draw a bar graph for the data above.

Answer
We draw the bar graph of this data in the following steps. Note that the unit in the second column is thousand rupees. So, ‘4’ against ‘grocery’ means ₹4000.
  1. We represent the Heads (variable) on the horizontal axis choosing any scale, since the width of the bar is not important. But for clarity, we take equal widths for all bars and maintain equal gaps in between. Let one Head be represented by one unit.
  2. We represent the expenditure (value) on the vertical axis. Since the maximum expenditure is ₹5000, we can choose the scale as 1 unit = ₹1000.
  3. The bar graph is drawn in Fig.
  4. Here, you can easily visualise the relative characteristics of the data at a glance, e.g., the expenditure on education is more than double that of medical expenses. Therefore, in some ways it serves as a better representation of data than the tabular form.

Question 145 Marks
Consider the marks obtained by 10 students in a mathematics test as given below:
55, 36, 95, 73, 60, 42, 25, 78, 75, 62
Find the maximum, minimum scores and range.
Answer
Let us arrange the marks in ascending order as 25, 36, 42, 55, 60, 62, 73, 75, 78, 95
Now, the lowest marks are 25 and the highest marks are 95.
The range, in this case, is 95 – 25 = 70
