 Exercise 14.1 

Q1:

A survey was conducted by a group of students as a part of their environment awareness programme, in which they collected the following data regarding the number of plants in 20 houses in a locality. Find the mean number of plants per house.

Number of plants0 – 22 – 44 – 66 – 88 – 1010 – 1212 – 14
Number of houses1215623

Which method did you use for finding the mean, and why?

Answer:

To find the class mark (xi) for each interval, the following relation is used.

Class mark (xi)

xi and fi(xi) can be calculated as follows.

Number of plantsNumber of houses (fi)xifi(xi)
0 – 2111 × 1 = 1
2 – 4232 × 3 = 6

Determine the modal lifetimes of the components.

Answer:

From the data given above, it can be observed that the maximum class frequency is 61, belonging to class interval 60-80.

Therefore, modal class = 60 – 80  Lower class limit (l) of modal class = 60 Frequency (f1) of modal class = 61 

Frequency (f0) of class preceding the modal class = 52 Frequency (f2) of class succeeding the

Answer:

It can be observed from the given data that the maximum class frequency is 40, belonging to 1500 – 2000 intervals. Therefore, modal class = 1500 – 2000

Lower limit (l) of modal class = 1500 Frequency (f1) of modal class = 40 

Frequency (f0) of class preceding modal class = 24 Frequency (f2) of class succeeding modal class = 33 Class size (h) = 500

Therefore, modal monthly expenditure was Rs 1847.83. To find the class mark, the following relation is used.

Answer:

It can be observed from the given data that the maximum class frequency is 10 belonging to class interval 30 – 35. 

Therefore, 

modal class = 30 – 35

Class size (h) = 5

Lower limit (l) of modal class = 30 Frequency (f1) of modal class = 10 

Frequency (f0) of class preceding modal class = 9 Frequency (f2) of class succeeding modal class = 3

Find the mode of the data.

Answer:

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

From the table, it can be observed that the maximum class frequency is 20, belonging to class interval 125 – 145. Modal class = 125 – 145

Lower limit (l) of modal class = 125 Class size (h) = 20

Frequency (f1) of modal class = 20

Frequency (f0) of class preceding modal class = 13 Frequency (f2) of class succeeding the modal class

*Q2:

If the median of the distribution is given below is 28.5, find the values of x and y.

Answer:

The cumulative frequency for the given data is calculated as follows.

Class intervalFrequencyCumulative frequency
0 – 1055
10 – 20x5+ x
20 – 302025 + x
30 – 401540 + x
40 – 50y40+ x + y
50 – 60545 + x + y
Total (n)60

From the table, it can be observed that n = 60 45 + x + y = 60

x + y = 15 (1)

Median of the data is given as 28.5 which lies in interval 20 – 30. 

Therefore, median class = 20 – 30

Lower limit (l) of median class = 20

Cumulative frequency (cf) of class preceding the median class = 5 + x

Frequency (f) of median class = 20 Class size (h) = 10

From equation (1),

8 + y = 15

y = 7

Hence, the values of x and y are 8 and 7 respectively.

Q3:

A life insurance agent found the following data for distribution of ages of 100 policy holders. Calculate the median age, if policies are given only to persons having age 18 years onwards but less than 60 year.

Age (in years)Number of policy holders
Below 202
Below 256
Below 3024
Below 3545
Below 4078
Below 4589
Below 5092
Below 5598
Below 60100

Answer:

Here, class width is not the same. There is no requirement of adjusting the frequencies according to class intervals. The given frequency table is of less than type represented with upper class limits. The policies were given only to persons with age 18 years onwards but less than 60 years. Therefore, class intervals with their respective cumulative frequency can be defined as below.

Age (in years)Number of policy holders (fi)Cumulative frequency (cf)
18 – 2022
20 – 256 – 2 = 46
25 – 3024 – 6 = 1824
30 – 3545 – 24 = 2145
35 – 4078 – 45 = 3378
40 – 4589 – 78 = 1189
45 – 5092 – 89 = 392
50 – 5598 – 92 = 698
55 – 60100 – 98 = 2100
Total (n)

From the table, it can be observed that n = 100.

Cumulative frequency (cf) just greater than is 78, belonging to interval 

35 – 40. Therefore, median class = 35 – 40

Lower limit (l) of median class = 35 Class size (h) = 5

Frequency (f) of median class = 33

Cumulative frequency (cf) of class preceding median class = 45

Therefore, median age is 35.76 years.

Q4:

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

Length (in mm)Number or leaves fi
118 – 1263
127 – 1355
136 – 1449
145 – 15312
154 – 1625
163 – 1714
172 – 1802

Find the median length of the leaves.

(Hint: The data needs to be converted to continuous classes for finding the median, since the formula assumes continuous classes. The classes then change to 117.5 – 126.5, 126.5 – 135.5… 171.5 – 180.5)

Answer:

The given data does not have continuous class intervals. It can be observed that the difference between two class

intervals is 1. Therefore, has to be added and subtracted to upper class limits and lower class limits respectively. 

Continuous class intervals with respective cumulative frequencies can be represented as follows.

Length (in mm)Number or leaves fiCumulative frequency
117.5 – 126.533
126.5 – 135.553 + 5 = 8
135.5 – 144.598 + 9 = 17
144.5 – 153.51217 + 12 = 29
153.5 – 162.5529 + 5 = 34
162.5 – 171.5434 + 4 = 38
171.5 – 180.5238 + 2 = 40

From the table, it can be observed that the cumulative frequency just greater

than      is 29, belonging 

to class interval 144.5 – 153.5.

Median class = 144.5 – 153.5

Lower limit (l) of median class = 144.5 Class size (h) = 9

Frequency (f) of median class = 12

Cumulative frequency (cf) of class preceding median class = 17

Q5:

Find the following table gives the distribution of the life time of 400 neon lamps:

Life time (in hours)Number of lamps
1500 – 200014
2000 – 250056
2500 – 300060
3000 – 350086
3500 – 400074
4000 – 450062
4500 – 500048

Find the median life time of a lamp.

Answer:

The cumulative frequencies with their respective class intervals are as follows.

Life timeNumber of lamps (fi)Cumulative frequency
1500 – 20001414
2000 – 25005614 + 56 = 70
2500 – 30006070 + 60 = 130
3000 – 350086130 + 86 = 216
3500 – 400074216 + 74 = 290
4000 – 450062290 + 62 = 352
4500 – 500048352 + 48 = 400
Total (n)400

It can be observed that the cumulative frequency just greater than is 216, belonging to class interval 3000 – 3500.

Median class = 3000 – 3500

Lower limit (l) of median class = 3000 Frequency (f) of median class = 86

Cumulative frequency (cf) of class preceding median class = 130 Class size (h) = 500

Number of letters1 – 44 – 77 – 1010 – 1313 – 1616 – 19
Number of surnames63040644

Determine the median number of letters in the surnames. Find the mean number of letters in the surnames? Also, find the modal size of the surnames.

Answer:

The cumulative frequencies with their respective class intervals are as follows.

Number of lettersFrequency (fi)Cumulative frequency
