Question 1
The following data shows the daily income (in Rs.) of 40 workers:
120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 195, 210, 225, 240, 255, 270, 285, 300, 320, 340, 360, 380, 400,
420, 450, 480, 500, 520, 550, 580, 600, 620, 650, 680, 700, 720, 750, 780, 800, 820, 850,
880, 900, 950, 1000
a) Construct a grouped frequency distribution using class width = 200.
b) Calculate Class Boundries.
c) Calculate the less than cumulative frequency distribution.
Solution:
Grouped Frequency Distribution (Class Width = 200):
Class Interval Frequency
100 – 299 12
300 – 499 9
500 – 699 8
700 – 899 8
900 – 1099 3
Class Boundaries:
Class Interval Boundaries
100 – 299 99.5 – 299.5
300 – 499 299.5 – 499.5
500 – 699 499.5 – 699.5
700 – 899 699.5 – 899.5
900 – 1099 899.5 – 1099.5
Less Than Cumulative Frequency:
Class Interval Frequency Cumulative Frequency
100 – 299 12 12
300 – 499 9 21
500 – 699 8 29
700 – 899 8 37
900 – 1099 3 40
Question 2
Construct a stem-and-leaf plot for the given data.
12, 15, 18, 11, 14, 19, 22, 25, 27, 24, 29, 31, 33, 35, 32, 38, 41, 44, 47, 49
Solution:
Stem-and-Leaf Plot:
Stem | Leaves
1 |124589
2 |24579
3 |12358
4 |1479
Question 3
The following data shows the marks obtained by 25 students in a test:
Marks (Class Interval) Frequency
10 – 20 3
20 – 30 5
30 – 40 9
40 – 50 6
Marks (Class Interval) Frequency
50 – 60 2
(i) Construct relative frequency of each class interval.
(ii) Calculate the arithmetic mean.
Solution:
Relative Frequency:
Class Interval Frequency Relative Frequency
10 – 20 3 0.12
20 – 30 5 0.20
30 – 40 9 0.36
40 – 50 6 0.24
50 – 60 2 0.08
Arithmetic Mean = 34.6
