STATISTICS
GRADE 10

MCQs
1. If each observation of the data is increased by 3, then their mean
(a) Is increased by 3 (b) is increased by 6

(c) Does not increase (d) Decreases by 3

2. The measure of central tendency of a statistical data which takes into account of all the data
is:
(a) Median (b) Range (c) Mode (d) Mean
3. Consider the frequency distribution of 45 observations:
Class
0-10 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50
Frequency
5 9 15 10 6

The upper limit of the median class is:

(a)20 (b) 10 (c)30 (d) 40


4. In a continuous frequency distribution the median of the data is 21. If each observation is
increased by 5, then the new median is:
(a) increases by 5 (b) is increases by 10

(c) Does not increase (d) Decreases by 5

5. The upper limit of the modal class of the following frequency distribution is:

Measurement Below Below Below Below Below Below


140 145 150 155 160 165

Frequency 4 11 29 40 46 51

(a) 165 (b) 160 (c) 155 (d) 150

6. Assertion: Consider the following frequency distribution:


Class
0-4 4-8 8-12 12-16 16-20
Frequency
6 3 5 20 10

The median class is 12-16.


𝑛
Reason: Let n = ∑ 𝑓𝑖 . Then the class whose cumulative frequency is just lesser than is the median
2
class.

CASE STUDY QUESTION

10. Activities like running or cycling reduce stress and the risk of mental disorder like depression.

to gain weight. The physical education teacher of a school has decided to conduct an inter school
running tournament in her school premises. The time taken by a group of students to run 100m,
was noted as follows:

Time (in sec) 0-20 20-40 40-60 60-80 80-100

No: of 8 10 13 6 3
students
Based on the above, answer the following questions:

i) What is the median class of the given data?


ii) (a) Find the mean time taken by the students to finish the race?

OR

(b) Find the mode of the above given data.


iii) How many students took time less than 60 seconds?
