Q1: Define mean, median, and mode for a set of data. For the data set {12, 15, 12, 18, 20, 12, 25}, find the mean, median, and mode.
Step 1: Definitions:
Mean: The average of all values in the data set.
Median: The middle value when data is arranged in order.
Mode: The value that appears most frequently.
Step 2: Given data set: {12, 15, 12, 18, 20, 12, 25}
Number of values (n) = 7
Step 3: Calculate MEAN:
Mean = (Sum of all values) / (Number of values)
Sum = 12 + 15 + 12 + 18 + 20 + 12 + 25
Sum = 114
Mean = 114 / 7
Mean ≈ 16.29
Step 4: Calculate MEDIAN:
Arrange data in ascending order: {12, 12, 12, 15, 18, 20, 25}
Since n = 7 (odd number), median is the middle value at position (n+1)/2 = 4th position.
Median = 15
Step 5: Calculate MODE:
Frequency count:
12 appears 3 times
15 appears 1 time
18 appears 1 time
20 appears 1 time
25 appears 1 time
The value 12 appears most frequently (3 times).
Mode = 12
Step 6: Summary:
Mean = 114/7 ≈ 16.29
Median = 15
Mode = 12
Answer: Mean ≈ 16.29; Median = 15; Mode = 12.
Q2: For the frequency distribution: Class 0-10 (frequency 5), 10-20 (frequency 8), 20-30 (frequency 12), 30-40 (frequency 7), 40-50 (frequency 3). Find the mean of the grouped data.
Step 1: Create frequency distribution table:
Class | Midpoint (x) | Frequency (f) | f×x
0-10 | 5 | 5 | 25
10-20 | 15 | 8 | 120
20-30 | 25 | 12 | 300
30-40 | 35 | 7 | 245
40-50 | 45 | 3 | 135
Step 2: Calculate midpoint of each class:
Midpoint = (Lower limit + Upper limit) / 2
0-10: (0 + 10)/2 = 5
10-20: (10 + 20)/2 = 15
20-30: (20 + 30)/2 = 25
30-40: (30 + 40)/2 = 35
40-50: (40 + 50)/2 = 45
Step 3: Calculate f × x for each class:
5 × 5 = 25
15 × 8 = 120
25 × 12 = 300
35 × 7 = 245
45 × 3 = 135
Step 4: Calculate totals:
Total frequency (Σf) = 5 + 8 + 12 + 7 + 3 = 35
Total of f×x (Σf×x) = 25 + 120 + 300 + 245 + 135 = 825
Step 5: Calculate mean:
Mean = Σ(f×x) / Σf
Mean = 825 / 35
Mean = 23.57 (approximately)
Step 6: The mean lies in the 20-30 class, which makes sense as it has the highest frequency.
Answer: Mean of grouped data = 825/35 ≈ 23.57.
Q3: Construct a frequency distribution table and draw a bar graph for the following data: Marks 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 50, 45, 60, 65, 70, 60, 55, 50, 65, 70, 70. Use class intervals 40-50, 50-60, 60-70, 70-80.
Step 1: Raw data:
40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 50, 45, 60, 65, 70, 60, 55, 50, 65, 70, 70
(Total: 16 values)
Step 2: Count frequencies for each class:
Class 40-50: 40, 45, 45, 50, 50, 50 → Frequency = 6
Class 50-60: 55, 55, 60, 60, 60 → Frequency = 5
Class 60-70: 65, 65, 70, 70, 70 → Frequency = 5
Class 70-80: None → Frequency = 0
Note: 70 is often considered in the 70-80 class (right-inclusive), but here included in 60-70.
Correction: Let's use left-inclusive intervals.
Class 40-50: 40, 45, 45 → Frequency = 3
Class 50-60: 50, 50, 50, 55, 55 → Frequency = 5
Class 60-70: 60, 60, 60, 65, 65 → Frequency = 5
Class 70-80: 70, 70, 70 → Frequency = 3
Total: 3 + 5 + 5 + 3 = 16 ✓
Step 3: Frequency Distribution Table:
Class | Frequency | Relative Frequency
40-50 | 3 | 3/16 = 0.1875
50-60 | 5 | 5/16 = 0.3125
60-70 | 5 | 5/16 = 0.3125
70-80 | 3 | 3/16 = 0.1875
Step 4: Bar Graph Description:
X-axis: Class intervals (40-50, 50-60, 60-70, 70-80)
Y-axis: Frequency (scale 0-5)
Bar heights:
Class 40-50: bar height = 3
Class 50-60: bar height = 5
Class 60-70: bar height = 5
Class 70-80: bar height = 3
Step 5: Observations:
- Maximum frequency in classes 50-60 and 60-70 (5 each)
- Symmetric distribution around classes 50-70
- The data is concentrated in the middle ranges (50-70)
Answer: Frequency distribution table created above. Bar graph shows bars of heights 3, 5, 5, 3 for classes 40-50, 50-60, 60-70, 70-80 respectively.
Q4: For the data {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}, calculate the mean, median, and verify that for this symmetric data set these values are equal.
Step 1: Given data set (already in order):
{2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
n = 5 (odd number)
Step 2: Calculate MEAN:
Mean = (Sum of all values) / n
Sum = 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 = 30
Mean = 30 / 5 = 6
Step 3: Calculate MEDIAN:
For odd n, median is the value at position (n+1)/2 = 3rd position
Arranged data: {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
Median = 6 (the 3rd value)
Step 4: Compare:
Mean = 6
Median = 6
Mean = Median ✓
Step 5: Explanation:
This is a symmetric (arithmetic progression) data set.
The differences between consecutive terms are equal: 4-2=2, 6-4=2, 8-6=2, 10-8=2
In symmetric distributions, the mean and median are equal.
The middle value (6) is also the average of all values.
Step 6: Mode:
No value repeats in this data set.
Mode = No mode (or all values are equally frequent)
Answer: Mean = 6, Median = 6. For this symmetric data set, mean equals median.
Q5: The data shows test scores of 10 students: 70, 75, 80, 85, 80, 90, 85, 95, 80, 75. Calculate mean, median, mode, and range. Also determine how many students scored above the mean.
Step 1: Given data:
70, 75, 80, 85, 80, 90, 85, 95, 80, 75
n = 10
Step 2: Calculate MEAN:
Sum = 70 + 75 + 80 + 85 + 80 + 90 + 85 + 95 + 80 + 75
Sum = 815
Mean = 815 / 10 = 81.5
Step 3: Calculate MEDIAN:
Arrange in ascending order: {70, 75, 75, 80, 80, 80, 85, 85, 90, 95}
n = 10 (even), so median = average of 5th and 6th values
5th value = 80
6th value = 80
Median = (80 + 80) / 2 = 80
Step 4: Calculate MODE:
Frequency count:
70: 1 time
75: 2 times
80: 3 times
85: 2 times
90: 1 time
95: 1 time
Mode = 80 (appears 3 times, most frequent)
Step 5: Calculate RANGE:
Range = Maximum value - Minimum value
Range = 95 - 70 = 25
Step 6: Count students scoring ABOVE the mean:
Mean = 81.5
Scores above 81.5: 85, 90, 85, 95
Number of students above mean = 4
Step 7: Summary:
Mean = 81.5
Median = 80
Mode = 80
Range = 25
Students above mean = 4 out of 10 = 40%
Answer: Mean = 81.5; Median = 80; Mode = 80; Range = 25; 4 students scored above the mean.
Q6: Create a grouped frequency distribution for the following age data (in years): 22, 25, 23, 29, 31, 26, 24, 28, 32, 25, 27, 30, 23, 26, 29 using class intervals 20-25, 25-30, 30-35. Calculate the mean.
Step 1: Given data (ages):
22, 25, 23, 29, 31, 26, 24, 28, 32, 25, 27, 30, 23, 26, 29
(Total: 15 values)
Step 2: Create frequency distribution with class 20-25 (includes 20, excludes 25):
Class 20-25: 22, 23, 23, 24 → Frequency = 4
Class 25-30: 25, 25, 26, 26, 27, 28, 29, 29 → Frequency = 8
Class 30-35: 30, 31, 32 → Frequency = 3
Total frequency = 4 + 8 + 3 = 15 ✓
Step 3: Frequency Distribution Table:
Class | Midpoint (x) | Frequency (f) | f×x
20-25 | 22.5 | 4 | 90
25-30 | 27.5 | 8 | 220
30-35 | 32.5 | 3 | 97.5
Note: Midpoint = (20+25)/2 = 22.5, (25+30)/2 = 27.5, (30+35)/2 = 32.5
Step 4: Calculate f × x:
22.5 × 4 = 90
27.5 × 8 = 220
32.5 × 3 = 97.5
Step 5: Calculate totals:
Σf = 4 + 8 + 3 = 15
Σ(f × x) = 90 + 220 + 97.5 = 407.5
Step 6: Calculate mean:
Mean = Σ(f × x) / Σf
Mean = 407.5 / 15
Mean ≈ 27.17 years
Step 7: Verification:
The mean falls in the class 25-30, which has the highest frequency (8). This makes sense.
Answer: Frequency distribution created. Mean age = 407.5/15 ≈ 27.17 years.
Q7: For a data set with 11 values, how do you find the median? Given data {3, 7, 5, 9, 1, 8, 4, 6, 2, 10, 11}, find the median and verify by arranging in order.
Step 1: Method for finding median with odd number of values:
For n values (where n is odd), median is the value at position (n+1)/2 when arranged in ascending order.
Step 2: Given data:
{3, 7, 5, 9, 1, 8, 4, 6, 2, 10, 11}
n = 11 (odd)
Step 3: Find position of median:
Position = (n + 1) / 2 = (11 + 1) / 2 = 12 / 2 = 6th position
Step 4: Arrange data in ascending order:
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}
Position: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th
Step 5: Identify median:
Median = 6th value = 6
Step 6: Verification:
Values below median: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} → 5 values
Median: {6}
Values above median: {7, 8, 9, 10, 11} → 5 values
The median divides the data into two equal halves. ✓
Step 7: Properties:
For any data set with odd n, the median always divides the data into two equal parts.
Number of values below median = Number of values above median = (n-1)/2 = 5
Answer: Median = 6. The 6th value when arranged in ascending order {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}.
