Q-71: A survey categorizes responses as
follows: 1 = Strongly Disagree, 2 = Disagree,
3 = Neutral, 4 = Agree, 5 = Strongly Agree.
If 30 respondents answered with these
codes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, calculate the
mean score.
Solution
To calculate the mean score based on the survey responses given:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
We will sum up all the responses and then divide by the total number of respondents.
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 30
Now, divide the sum by the number of respondents (which is 10):
Mean score = 30/10 = 3
Therefore, the mean score of the survey responses is 3.
Q-72: Construct a frequency table for the
following data representing the number of
hours spent studying for an exam by 20
students:
4, 6, 3, 7, 5, 5, 6, 3, 4, 8, 7, 6, 5, 3, 7, 5, 4, 6, 5, 8
Sol
Frequency Table:
Number of Hours (x) Frequency (f)
3 3
4 3
5 4
6 3
7 3
8 2
Interpretation:
 The frequency table shows how many students spent each number of hours studying
for the exam.
 For example, 4 students spent 5 hours studying, and 2 students spent 8 hours studying.
This frequency table summarizes the distribution of study hours among the 20 students
surveyed.

Q-73: Create a histogram for the following

data representing the scores of 50 students
in a test:
75, 82, 68, 92, 80, 78, 85, 88, 72, 77, 83, 79, 70, 65, 90, 87, 84, 76, 81, 73, 86, 74, 69, 91, 67,
71, 89, 66, 75, 82, 68, 92, 80, 78, 85, 88, 72, 77, 83, 79, 70, 65, 90, 87, 84, 76, 81, 73, 86, 74
Step-by-Step Process:
1. Organize Data into Frequency Distribution:
o First, we need to organize the scores into a frequency distribution to determine
how many students scored within each score range.
2. Determine the Number of Intervals (Bins):
o Decide on the number of intervals (bins) for the histogram. A common rule of
thumb is to use between 5 to 15 bins. Let's choose 8 bins for this example.
3. Calculate the Range and Interval Size:
o Calculate the range of the scores: Range=Maximum Score−Minimum Score
o Determine the interval size: Interval Size=Range / Number of Bins

4. Create Frequency Table:

o Count how many scores fall into each interval.
5. Draw the Histogram:
o Use the frequency information to create a histogram where the x-axis
represents score intervals and the y-axis represents the frequency of scores
within each interval.
Calculations and Steps:
Step 1: Organize Data and Determine Range
 Minimum Score: 65
 Maximum Score: 92
Range = 92 - 65 = 27
Step 2: Determine Interval Size
Number of Bins (intervals) = 8
Interval Size = 27/8=3.375
Step 3: Create
Frequency Table
Frequency Table
(using intervals):
Score Interval Frequency
65-68.375 6
68.375-71.75 4
71.75-75.125 8
75.125-78.5 6
78.5-81.875 6
81.875-85.25 8
85.25-88.625 6
88.625-92 6
Step 4: Draw the Histogram
Now, we plot the histogram using the frequency table:
 X-axis: Score Intervals (65-68, 69-72, ..., 89-92)
 Y-axis: Frequency (number of students)
The histogram will have bars representing each interval's frequency, with the x-axis labeled
with score ranges and the y-axis showing the count of students in each range.
Intervals Score
65-68.375 6
68.375-71.75 4
71.75-75.125 8
75.125-78.5 6
78.5-81.875 6
81.875-85.25 8
85.25-88.625 6
88.625-92 6

Q-74: If the median of a distribution given below is

28.5, then find the value of x and y.
CI 0 – 10 10 – 20 20 – 30 30 – 40 40 – 50 50 – 60 Total
Frequency 5 x 20 15 y 5 60
Solution:
From the given,
N/2 = 60/2 = 30
Median of the given data = 28.5
Median class is 20 – 30 with a cumulative frequency = 25 + x.
Lower limit of median class = l = 20
Frequency of the median class = f = 20
Cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class = cf = 5 + x
Class size = h = 10
28.5 = 20 + [(30 − 5 − x)/ 20] × 10
28.5 – 20 = (25 – x)/2
8.5 × 2 = 25 – x
17 = 25 – x
x = 25 – 17
Therefore, x = 8
Also,
60 = 5 + 20 + 15 + 5 + x + y
60 = 5 + 20 + 15 + 5 + 8 + y
y = 60 – 53
y=7
Therefore, the value of x = 8 and y = 7.

Q-75: If the mean of the given frequency
distribution is 35, then find the missing
frequency y. Also, calculate the median and
mode for the distribution.
Class 10 – 20 20 – 30 30 – 40 40 – 50 50 – 60
Frequency 2 4 7 y 1
Solution:
Class Frequency (fi) Class mark (xi) fixi
10 – 20 2 15 30
20 – 30 4 25 100
30 – 40 7 35 245
40 – 50 y 45 45y
50 – 60 1 55 55
Total ∑f i = 14 + y ∑fixi = 430 + 45y
As we know,
Mean = ∑fixi/∑fi
Given that the mean of the distribution is 35.
So, (430 + 45y)/(14 + y) = 35
430 + 45y = (14 + y)35
430 + 45y = 490 + 35y
45y – 35y = 490 – 430
10y = 60
y=6
Thus, the missing frequency is 6.
Now, we can calculate the mode as follows:
Class 10 – 20 20 – 30 30 – 40 40 – 50 50 – 60
Frequency 2 4 = f0 7 = f1 6 = f2 1
Here,
l = 30
h = 10
Mode = l + [(f1 – f0)/ (2f1 – f0 – f2)] × h
Mode = 30 + [(7 – 4)/(14 – 4 – 6)] × 10
= 30 + (30/4)
= 30 + 7.5
= 37.5
Now, using the formula Mode = 3Median – 2 Mean, we can get the value of median.
37.5 = 3 Median – 2 (35)
3 Median = 37.5 + 70
Median = 107.7/3
= 35.9

the median of the following data:
Class interval 5−10 10−15 15−20 20−25 25−30 30−35 35−40
Frequency 2 12 2 4 3 4 3
Solution
The frequency distribution table of less than type is as follows:
Class interval Cumulative frequency
(upper class limits) (cf)
Less than 10 2
Less than 15 2 + 12 = 14
Less than 20 14 + 2 = 16
Less than 25 16 + 4 = 20
Less than 30 20 + 3 = 23
Less than 35 23 + 4 = 27
Less than 40 27 + 3 = 30

and the frequency distribution table of more than type is as follows:

Class interval
Cumulative frequency (cf)
(lower class limits)
More than 5 28 + 2 = 30
More than 10 16 + 12 = 28
More than 15 14 + 2 = 16
More than 20 10 + 4 = 14
More than 25 7 + 3 = 10
 More than 30 3+4=7
More than 35 3

Taking upper class limits and lower class limits of class intervals on x−axis and their
respective frequencies on y−axis, its ogive can be drawn as follows:
