(a)

Classify the data as primary or secondary data.
(i) Number of students
(ii) Number of fans un our school.
(iii) Electricity bills of our house for last two years.
(iv) Election results obtained from television or newspaper.
(v) Literacy rate figures obtained from Educational Survey.

(a)

The blood groups of 30 students of Class VIII are recorded as follows:
A,B,O,O,AB,O,A,O,B,A,O,B, A,O,O,
A,AB,O,A,A,O,O,AB,B,A,O,B,A,B,O.
Represent this data in the form of a frequency distribution table. Which is the most common and which is the rarest, blood group among these students.

(a)

The length of 40 leaves of a plant are measured a correct one millimeter, and the obtained data is represented in the following table:

Length (in mm)	Number of leaves
118-126	3
127-135	5
136-144	9
145-153	12
154-162	5
163-171	4
172-180	2

(i) Draw a histogram to represent the given data.
(ii) Is there any suitable graphical representation for the same data?
(iii) Is it correct to conclude that the maximum number of leaves are 153 mm long? Why?

(a)

The following table gives the distribution of students of two sections according to the marks obtained by them:

Section A                                                             Section B
Marks	Freqeuncy	Marks	Freqency
0-10	3	0-10	5
20-20	9	10-20	19
20-30	17	20-30	15
30-40	12	30-40	10
40-50	9	40-50	1

Represent the marks of the students of both the sections on the same graph by two frequency polygons. From the two polygons compare the performance of the two sections.

(a)

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.

In a Mathematics test given to 15 students, the following marks (out of 100) are recorded:
41,39,48,52,46,62,54,40,96, 52,98,40,42,52,60
Find the mean, median and mode of this data.

(a)

Give one example of a situation in which
(i) the mean is an appropriate measure of central tendency.
(ii) the mean is not an appropriate measure of central tendency but the median is an appropriate measure of central tendency.

(a)

If the mean of x,x +2,x +4,x +6,x + 8, is 24, find the value of x.

3

(a)

If the observations, of 6,7,x-2,x,17,20 are written in ascending order and their median is 16, find the value of 'x'. Using the value of x, also find of given numbers.

3

(a)

If the  mean of five observations x,x + 2,x +4, x +6,x + 8 is 13, then find the value of x.
