Mean \(\overset { - }{ x } =\frac { \Sigma f_{ i }u_{ i } }{ \Sigma f_{ i } } \)
\(\Rightarrow 53=\frac { 3340+70p }{ 72+p } \)
\(\Rightarrow 3340+70p=53(72+p)\)
\(\Rightarrow 3340+70p=3816-3340\)
\(\Rightarrow 70p-53p=3816-3340\)
\(\Rightarrow 17p=476\)
\(p=\frac { 476 }{ 17 } =28\)

\(\Sigma f_{ i }=40\)
26+p+q=40
p+q=14
Mean x= \(\frac { \Sigma x_{ i }f_{ i } }{ \Sigma f_{ i } } \)
\(14.7=\frac { 408+9p+27q }{ 40 } \)
588=408+9p+27q
180=9p+27q
p+3q=20
Subtracting eq. (i) from eq. (ii),
2q = 6
q=3
Putting this value of q in eq. (i),
p = 14- q = 14- 3 = 11
P = 11,q = 3

Given, distribution is the more than type distribution.
Here, we observe that, all 30 students have obtained marks more than or equal to 10. So, 30-23=7 students lie in the class 5-10. Similarly, we can find the other classes and their corresponding frequencies. Now, we construct the continuous grouped frequency distribution as
| Class (Marks obtained) | Number of students |
|---|---|
| 5-10 | 30-23=7 |
| 10-15 | 23-8=15 |
| 15-20 | 8-2=6 |
| More than equal to 20 | 2 |
6.
Here, class intervals are not continuous. But mid-value xi of each class interval would be same either class interval is continuous or not continuous.
So, we solve it without making it continuous.
Also, xi are larger so we apply step-deviation method. Her, class width (h)=5. Table for the given data is
| Number of heart beats/minute | Class marks (xi) | Number of women (fi) | \(u_{ i }=\frac { x_{ i }-72 }{ 5 } \) | fiui |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 65-69 | 67 | 2 | -1 | -2 |
| 70-74 | 72=a | 18 | 0 | 0 |
| 75-79 | 77 | 16 | 1 | 16 |
| 80-84 | 82 | 4 | 2 | 8 |
| Total | \(\sum { f_{ i }=40 } \) | \(\sum { f_{ i }u_{ i } } =72\) |
We have, a = 72, h = 5, \(\sum { f_{ i }=40 } \) and \(\sum { f_{ i }u_{ i } } =72\)
By step-deviation method,
Mean
\(\left( \overline { x } \right) =a+\frac { \sum { f_{ i } } }{ \sum { f_{ i }u_{ i } } } \times h=72+\frac { 22 }{ 40 } \times 5=72+2.75=74.75\)
7.
Table for given data is
| Class | Class marks (xi) | Frequency (fi) | fixi |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-20 | \(\frac { 0+20 }{ 2 } =10\) | 7 | 70 |
| 20-40 | \(\frac { 20+40 }{ 2 } =30\) | p | 30 p |
| 40-60 | \(\frac { 40+60 }{ 2 } =50\) | 10 | 500 |
| 60-80 | \(\frac { 60+80 }{ 2 } =70\) | 9 | 630 |
| 80-100 | \(\frac { 80+100 }{ 2 } =90\) | 13 | 1170 |
| Total | \(\sum { f_{ i } } =39+p\) | \(\sum { f_{ i }x_{ i }=2370+30\quad p } \) |
Here, \(\sum { f_{ i } } =39+p\) and \(\sum { f_{ i }x_{ i }=2370+30\quad p } \)
Mean \(\left( \overline { x } \right) =\frac { \sum { f_{ i }x_{ i } } }{ \sum { f_{ i } } } \)
\(54=\frac { 2370+30p }{ 39+p } \quad \left[ \because \quad mean=54,\quad given \right] \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad 54(39+p)=2370+30p\\ \Rightarrow \quad 2106+54p=2370+30p\\ \Rightarrow \quad 24p=264\\ \Rightarrow \quad p=11\)
Hence, the value of p is 11.
8.
From the given data, it can be observed that the maximum class frequency is 18, belonging to class interval 4000 − 5000.
Therefore, modal class = 4000 − 5000
Lower limit (l) of modal class = 4000
Frequency (f1) of modal class = 18
Frequency (f0) of class preceding modal class = 4
Frequency (f2) of class succeeding modal class = 9
Class size (h) = 1000
\(=4000+\left(\frac{18-4}{2(18)-4-9}\right) \times 1000 \)
\(\text { Mode }=l+\left(\frac{f_{1}-f_{0}}{2 f_{1}-f_{0}-f_{2}}\right) \times h \)
\(=4000+\left(\frac{14000}{23}\right)\)
= 4000+608.695
= 4608.695
Therefore, mode of the given data is 4608.7 runs.
9.
To find the class mark (xi) for each interval, the following relation is used.
Class size = 50
Taking 225 as assumed mean (a), di, ui, fiui are calculated as follows.
| Daily expenditure (in Rs) | fi | xi | di = xi − 225 | ui= di/50 | fiui |
| 100-150 | 4 | 125 | -100 | -2 | -8 |
| 150-200 | 5 | 175 | -50 | -1 | -5 |
| 200-250 | 12 | 225 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 250-300 | 2 | 275 | 50 | 1 | 2 |
| 300-350 | 2 | 325 | 100 | 2 | 4 |
| Total | 25 | -7 |
From the table, we obtain
\(\sum f_{i}=25 \)
\(\sum f_{i} u_{i}=-7 \)
\(\text { Mean } \bar{x}=a+\left(\frac{\sum f_{1} u_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}\right) x h \)
\(=225+\left(\frac{-7}{25}\right) \times(50)\)
= 225 - 14
= 211
Therefore, mean daily expenditure on food is Rs 211.
10.
| Literacy rate | 50-60 | 60-70 | 70-80 | 80-90 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of cities | 9 | 6 | 8 | 2 |
| Cumulative frequency (cf) | 9 | 15 | 23 | 25 |
Here, \(\frac { n }{ 2 } =\frac { 25 }{ 2 } =12.5\)
Since, cumulative frequency just greater than 12.5 and corresponding class is 60-70.
Median class=60-70
Since, highest frequency is 9 and corresponding class is 50-60
Modal class=50-60
11.
The abscissa of the point of intersection of the "Less than type" and "More than type" cumulative frequency curve of a grouped data is median.
12.
Median
13.
The multiples of 5, according to the problem are: 5, 15, 25, 35, 45
Mean
= \(\frac { 5+15+25+35+45 }{ 5 } \)
\(=\frac { 125 }{ 5 } =25\)
14.
Mean \(= \frac { \Sigma fx }{ \Sigma f } \)
\(50=\frac { \Sigma fx }{ 100 } \)
\(\Sigma fx=5000\)
Correct \(\Sigma fx^{ ' }=5000-100+110\)
=5010
Correct Mean \(= \frac { 5010 }{ 100 } \)
= 50.1
Median Will remain same median = 52
15.
Given ,
Mode = 50.5
Median = 45.5
3 Median = Mode + 2 Mean
3 x 45.5 = 50.5 + 2 Mean
\(\Rightarrow \) Mean = \(\frac { 136.5-50.5 }{ 2 } \)
= 43
16.
Median = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \) Mode+ \(\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \) Mean
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } (12.4)+\frac { 2 }{ 3 } (10.5)\)
\(=\frac { 12.4 }{ 3 } +\frac { 21 }{ 3 } \)
\(=\frac { 12.4+21 }{ 3 } =\frac { 33.4 }{ 3 } \)
\(\frac { 33.4 }{ 3 } =11.13\)
17.
Given, Median = Mean + 3
Also, we know that,
Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mean
= 3 (Mean + 3)-2 Mean
⇒ Mode = Mean + 9
Hence Mode exceeds Mean by 9
18.
p=23, q=13, median class=400-500, modal class=500-600
19.
Table for given data is
| Number of pages written per day | Class marks (xi) | Number of days (fi) | fixi |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16-18 | 17 | 1 | 17 |
| 19-21 | 20 | 3 | 60 |
| 22-24 | 23 | 4 | 92 |
| 25-27 | 26 | 9 | 234 |
| 28-30 | 29 | 13 | 377 |
| Total | \(\sum { f_{ i }=30 } \) | \(\sum { f_{ i }x_{ i } } =780\) |
Here, \(\sum { f_{ i }=30 } \) and \(\sum { f_{ i }x_{ i } } =780\)
Mean \(\overline { x } =\frac { \sum { f_{ i }x_{ i } } }{ \sum { f_{ i } } } =\frac { 780 }{ 30 } =26\)
Hence, the mean number of pages written per day is 26.
20.
The cumulative frequency table for given data is
| Class interval | Frequency | Cumulative frequency |
|---|---|---|
| 65-85 | 4 | 4 |
| 85-105 | 5 | 9 |
| 105-125 | 13 | 22 |
| 125-145 | 20 | 42 |
| 145-165 | 14 | 56 |
| 165-185 | 7 | 63 |
| 185-205 | 4 | 67 |
Here, \(\frac { n }{ 2 } =\frac { 67 }{ 2 } =33.5\)
The cumulative frequency just greater than 33.5 is 42 and the corresponding class is 125-145.
Thus, we have median class 125-145.
Also, the maximum frequency is of the class 125-145.
Therefore, the modal class is 125-145.
Difference of the upper limit of median class and the lower limit of modal class=145-125=20
