1.
(i) The class interval = [Upper limit of a class] - [Lower limit of the same class] = 225 - 200 = 25
(ii) The class 300 - 325 is having the lowest frequency (which is 17).
(iii) The class 375 - 400 is having the highest frequency (which is 120).
(iv) The class intervals 275-300 and 350 - 375 have the same frequency (which is 45).
(v) The lower limit of the class interval 300 - 325 is 300.
(vi) The upper limit of the class interval 275 - 300 is 300.
2.
The lowest observation = 1
The highest observation = 48
∴ We have
| Marks | Tally marks | Number of students |
|---|---|---|
| 0-10 | |||| | | 6 |
| 10-20 | IIII IIII I | 11 |
| 20-30 | IIII | 4 |
| 30-40 | IIII | 5 |
| 40-50 | IIII | 4 |
3.
| Class interval | Tally marks | Frequency |
| 4 - 8 | II | 2 |
| 8 - 12 | III II | 7 |
| 12 - 16 | III III III | 13 |
| 16 - 20 | III I | 6 |
| 20 - 24 | II | 2 |
| Total | 30 |
4.
We know that, if given data can be grouped into class interval, then we represent the data by histogram. Here, different areas and five companies cannot be grouped into class interval, whereas height and time can be grouped into class interval, so (b) and (d) can be represented by a histogram.
5.
(i) From the above histogram, it is clear that the number of teachers of age 45 yr or more but less than 50 yr are 5.
(ii) Teachers of age less than 35 yr = 4 + 5 + 6 = 15.
6.
Here, comparison between percentage wins in ODI by 8 top cricket teams is given, so to represent the given information, we draw the double bar graph. So, draw two perpendicular axes OX and OY. Take teams on OX and percentage wins in ODI on OY Choose a suitable scale for OX and OY to draw double'bar graph.
Thus, we get the following double bar graph:
7.
Total number of outcomes = Total number of green and red sectors = 5 + 3 = 8
Number of outcomes of getting a green sector = 5
Probability of getting a green sector = \(\frac{Number\ of\ outcomes\ of\ getting\ a\ green\ sector}{Total\ number\ of\ outcomes}=\frac{5}{8}\)
8.
On the wheel, there are three sectors of red colour and five sectors of green colour.
Number of outcomes of getting a green sector on this wheel = 5
Number of outcomes of not getting a green sector on this wheel
Number of outcomes of getting a red sector on this wheel = 3.
