0%
$145$
0%
$142$
0%
$148$
0%
$146$

Explanation

Frequency Distribution table for Daily wages & Number of workers is:
Class Interval	Frequency
$150-200$	$50$
$200-250$	$30$
$250-300$	$35$
$300-350$	$20$
$350-400$	$10$
Total Workers	$145$

Hence, the total number of workers is

$145$ .

Thus, option

$A$ is correct.

The blood groups of 30 students are recorded as follows:

$A, B, O, A, AB, O, A, O, B, A, O, B, A, AB, B, A,$

$AB, B, A, A, O, A, AB, B, A, O, B, A, B, A$
What are the frequency distribution for the data

$A$ and

$AB$ ?

0%
$10, 2$
0%
$11, 2$
0%
$12, 4$
0%
$13, 5$

Explanation

Frequency is the number of times the data has occured in the data set.

The frequency of the data

$A$ is

$12$ . Since,

$A$ has occured

$12$ times in the given data set.

Similarly

$AB$ has occured

$4$ times in the data set. Therefore the frequency of

$AB$ is

$4$

The class marks of a continuous distribution are:

$1.04, 1.14, 1.24, 1.34, 1.44, 1.54$ and

$1.64$
Is it correct to say that the last interval will be

$1.55 - 1.73$ ? Justify your answer.

0%
It is correct.
0%
It is not correct. Reason is that difference between two consecutive marks should be equal to the class size.
0%
Ambiguous
0%
Data insufficient

Explanation

Class mark means the mid point of a class interval.
Difference between two consecutive class marks is always equal to the class size.
Now

$1.14-1.04=0.1$

$1.24-1.14=0.1$

$1.34-1.24=0.1$ and so on
Class size

$=0.1$
But in class interval

$(1.55 - 1.73), 1.73-1.55=0.8$ which is not equal to the class size found previously.
So class interval

$(1.55 - 1.73 )$ cannot be the correct class interval for the given class marks.

The class mark of the class 90-120 is

0%
90
0%
105
0%
115
0%
120

Explanation

Class mark is the mean of the upper and lower limit of the class interval =

$\frac{90+120}{2}$ = 105

Prepare a continuous grouped frequency distribution from the following data:

Mid Point	Frequency
$5$	$4$
$15$	$8$
$25$	$13$
$35$	$12$
$45$	$6$

Also find the size of class intervals.

0%
Class size $= 16$
0%
Class size $= 14$
0%
Class size $= 12$
0%
Class size $= 10$

The mean marks (out of

$100$ ) of boys and girls in an examination are

$70$ and

$73$ , respectively. If the mean marks of all the students in that examination is

$71$ , find the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls.

0%
$1:1$
0%
$2:1$
0%
$1:2$
0%
$2:3$

Explanation

Let the total number of boys be

$x$ and the total number of girls br

$y$ .

Let the sum of the marks of boys be

$a$ and the sum of the marks of girls be

$b$ .

Mean marks of boys are

$=70$

Mean marks of girls are

$=73$

Therefore,

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{a}{x}=70$

$\Rightarrow a=70x$

and

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{b}{y}=73$

$\Rightarrow b=73y$

Now, mean marks of all the students is

$71$

Therfore,

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{sum\ of\ the\ marks\ of\ all\ the\ students}{x+y}=71$

$\Rightarrow sum\ of\ the\ marks\ of\ all\ the\ students=a+b$

$\Rightarrow a+b=70x+73y$

Therefore,

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{70x+73y}{x+y}=71$

$\Rightarrow 70x+73y=71x+71y$

$\Rightarrow2y=x$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{2}{1}$

$Hence\ the\ ratio\ is\ 2:1$

In the class intervals

$10-20, 20-30$ , the number

$20$ is included in:

0%
$10-20$
0%
$20-30$
0%
Both the intervals
0%
None of these intervals

Explanation

The number is always included in the lower limit of the class interval. Hence,

$20$ is included in

$20-30$

For drawing a frequency polygon of a continuous frequency distribution, we plot the points whose ordinates are the frequencies of the respective classes and abscissae are the:

0%
upper limits of the classes
0%
lower limits of the classes
0%
class marks of the classes
0%
upper limits of perceeding classes

Explanation

For drawing a frequency polygon of a continuous frequency distribution,

we draw the class marks of the classes on the abscissae and the frequency of the classes on the ordinates.

We know, class marks are the mean of lower and upper limit of the class intervals.

Hence, option

$C$ is correct.

In a frequency distribution, the mid value of a class is

$10$ and the width of the class is

$6$ . The lower limit of the class is:

0%
$6$
0%
$7$
0%
$8$
0%
$12$

Explanation

$\textbf{Step1: Find the values}$

$\text{Let $$x$$ and $$y$$ be the upper and lower class limit in a frequency distribution.}$

$\text{Given, mid value of a class is 10}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{x+y}{2}=10$

$\Rightarrow x+y=20 \ldots (1)$

$\text{Also given that, width of the class is 6}$

$x-y=6 \ldots(2)$

$\text{On Adding equation $$(1)$$ and $$(2)$$, we get}$

$\Rightarrow 2 x=20+6$

$\Rightarrow 2 x=26$

$\Rightarrow x=13$

$\text{On putting $$x=13$$ in (1) we get}$

$\Rightarrow 13+y=20$

$\Rightarrow y=7$

$\textbf{Hence the lower limit of the class is $$7$$.}$

To draw a histogram to represent the following frequency distribution:

Class Interval	$5-10$	$10-15$	$15-25$	$25-45$	$45-75$
Frequency	$6$	$12$	$10$	$8$	$15$

The adjusted frequency for the class

$25-45$ is:

0%
$6$
0%
$5$
0%
$3$
0%
$2$

Explanation

The frequency distribution will consist of classes with an interval of

$5$ . The class

$25-45$ includes four such classes with an interval of

$5$ . Thus the adjusted frequency will be

$\dfrac{8}{4}=2$

A grouped frequency table with class intervals of equal sizes using

$250-270$ (

$270$ not included in this interval) as one of the class interval is constructed for the following data :

$268, 220, 368, 258, 242, 310, 272, 342,$

$310, 290, 300, 320, 319, 304, 402, 318,$

$406, 292, 354, 278, 210, 240, 330, 316,$

$406, 215, 258, 236.$
The frequency of the class

$310-330$ is:

0%
$4$
0%
$5$
0%
$6$
0%
$7$

Explanation

Numbers between

$310$ and

$330$ are

$310, 310, 320, 319, 318, 316. \space 330$ will not be included in this interval. Thus, frequency is

$6$ .

If the mean of the observations:

$x, x + 3, x + 5, x + 7, x + 10$ is

$9$ , the mean of the last three observations is

0%
$10\dfrac{1}{3}$
0%
$10\dfrac{2}{3}$
0%
$11\dfrac{1}{3}$
0%
$11\dfrac{2}{3}$

Explanation

Mean of

$x, x + 3, x + 5, x + 7, x + 10 = 9$
Sum of the terms

$= 5x + 25$
Mean =

$\dfrac{5x+25}{5} =9$

$x +5 =9$

$x =4$
Last three observations are

$9,11,14$
Mean

$= \dfrac{9+11+14}{3}= 11\dfrac{1}{3}$

The width of each of five continuous classes in a frequency distribution is

$5$ and the lower class-limit of the lowest class is

$10$ . The upper class-limit of the highest class is:

0%
$15$
0%
$25$
0%
$35$
0%
$40$

Explanation

Lower class limit

$= 10$
Width of each class

$= 5$
Width till the upper class limit for a frequency distribution having

$5$ classes

$= 5\times 5=25$

Hence, the upper class limit of highest class

$= 10 +25 =35$

A grouped frequency distribution table with classes of equal sizes using

$63-72$

$(72$ included

$)$ as one of the class is constructed for the following data:

$30, 32, 45, 54, 74, 78, 108, 112, 66, 76, 88,\\ 40, 14, 20, 15, 35, 44, 66, 75, 84, 95, 96,\\ 102, 110, 88, 74, 112, 14, 34, 44$
The number of classes in the distribution will be:

0%
$9$
0%
$10$
0%
$11$
0%
$12$

Explanation

If one the classes is

$63-72$ then the range of the class is

$10$

$(72$ included

$)$
Range of the given data points

$= 112-30 = 82$

Number of classes

$= \dfrac{82}{10} = 8.2$
Classes required will be

$9$ after round off.

The class marks of a frequency distribution are given as follows:

$15, 20, 25, ...$
The class corresponding to the class mark

$20$ is:

0%
$12.5 , 17.5$
0%
$17.5 , 22.5$
0%
$18.5 , 21.5$
0%
$19.5 , 20.5$

Explanation

Class marks are:

$15, 20, 25, ...$

Lower limit of class

$20$ is mean of

$15$ and

$20 = \cfrac{15+20}{2} = 17.5$
Upper limit of class

$20$ is the mean of

$20$ and

$25= \cfrac{20+25}{2} = 22.5$

$20$ is the class mark for the class interval

$17.5-22.5$

According to above histogram, which group has the maximum number of workers?

$870-880$ rupees was given to

$1$ workers,

$880-890$ rupees was given to

$1$ workers,

$890-900$ rupees was given to

$4$ workers.

Hence,

$830-840$ rupees was given to maximum number of workers, i.e.

$9$ .

Therefore,

$830$ group has the maximum number of workers.

Thus, option

$C$ is correct.

$1$ workers,

$880-890$ rupees was given to

$1$ workers,

$890-900$ rupees was given to

$4$ workers.

Then, the number of workers who earn less than rupees

$850$

$=n(800)+n(810)+n(820)+n(830)+n(840)$

$=3+2+1+9+5=20$ .

Hence, option

$B$ is correct.

$25$ is the arithmetic mean of

$X$ and

$46,$ then find

$X.$

0%
$2$
0%
$4$
0%
$8$
0%
$16$

Explanation

Since

$25$ is the arithmetic mean of

$X$ and

$46$ ,

$\therefore 25=\displaystyle \frac{(X+46)}{2}$

$\therefore X+46=50$

$\therefore X=4$

If the range of

$14, 12, 17, 18, 16, x$ is

$20$ and

$x>0$ , the value of

$x$ is:

0%
$2$
0%
$28$
0%
$32$
0%
cannot be determined

Explanation

The range is the difference between the smallest value and the largest value of the data set.

Given data set is

$14, 12, 17,18,16,x$ and the range is given as

$20$ .

In the given set the smallest value is

$12$ and the largest value is

$18$ .

Therefore the range is

$18-12=6\neq20$

Hence,

$18$ is not the largest value. Variable

$x$ is the largest value.

Therefore, range is

$x-12=20$

$\implies x=20+12=32$
