#### Question 1:

Define the following terms:

(i) Observations
(ii) data
(iii) Frequency of an observation
(iv) Frequency distribution

#### Answer:

(i) Observation is the active acquisition of information from a primary source.
(ii) A collection of facts such as values and measurements are called data.
(iii) Number of times an observation has occurred in a given data.
(iv) A frequency distribution is an arrangement of instances in which a variable takes each of its possible values. A frequency distribution depicts a summarised grouping of data divided into mutually exclusive classes and the number of occurrences in those classes.

#### Question 2:

The final marks in mathematics of 30 students are as follows:

53, 61, 48, 60, 78, 68, 55, 100, 67, 90
75, 88, 77, 37, 84, 58, 60,  48, 62,  56
44, 58, 52, 64, 98, 59, 70,  39, 50,  60

(i) Arrange these marks in the ascending order. 30 to 39 one group, 40 to 49 second group, etc.
(ii) What is the highest score?
(iii) What is the lowest score?
(iv) What is the range?
(v) If 40 is the pass mark how many have failed?
(vi) How many have scored 75 or more?
(vii) Which observations between 50 and 60 have not actually appeared?
(viii) How many have scored less than 50?

#### Answer:

(i)Frequency distribution of the given marks in mathematics of 30 students:

 30 − 39 37, 39 40 − 49 44, 48, 48 50 − 59 50, 52, 53, 55, 56, 58, 58, 59 60 − 69 60, 60, 60, 61, 62, 64, 67, 68 70 − 79 70, 75, 77, 78 80 − 89 84, 88 90 − 99 90, 98 100 - 109 100

(ii) From the given data we can see that the highest score is 100.

(iii) The above data shows 37 as the lowest score.

(iv) Range = Highest score − Lowest score = 100 − 37 = 63

(v) If 40 is the pass marks, students who have scored less than 40 have failed. So, the students who have scored 37 and 39 have failed.
∴ Number of students that have failed in the exam = 2

(vi) Students who have scored 75, 77, 78, 84, 88, 90, 98 and 100 are the ones to score more than 75.
∴ Number of students who scored 75 or more = 8

(vii) The observations 51, 54 and 57 have not appeared in the data range of 50-60.

(viii) Students who have scored 37, 39, 44, 48 and 48 are the ones to score less than 50.
∴ Number of students who got less than 50 = 5

#### Question 3:

The weights of new born babies (in kg) in a hospital on a particular day are as follow:

2.3, 2.2, 2.1, 2.7, 2.6, 3.0, 2.5, 2.9, 2.8, 3.1, 2.5, 2.8, 2.7, 2.9, 2.4

(i) Rearrange the weights in descending order.
(ii) Determine the highest weight.
(iii) Determine the lowest weight.
(iv) Determine the range.
(v) How many babies were born on that day?
(vi) How many babies weigh below 2.5 kg?
(vii) How many babies weigh more than 2.8?
(viii) How many babies weigh 2.8 kg?

#### Answer:

(i) Arranging the weights of the newborn babies in the descending order, we get: 3.1, 3.0, 2.9, 2.9, 2.8, 2.8, 2.7, 2.7, 2.6, 2.5, 2.5, 2.4, 2.3, 2.2, 2.1.

(ii) In a descending order, the first number is always the highest.
∴ Highest weight = 3.1kg.

(iii) In a descending order, the last number is always the lowest.
∴ Lowest weight = 2.1kg.

(iv) Range = Highest weight − Lowest weight

= 3.1kg − 2.1kg = 1.0kg

(v) We can count the number of babies born on that particular day by counting the number of observations.
∴ Number of babies born on that day = 15

(vi) Babies which weigh 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4kg are the ones to weigh less than 2.5kg.
∴ Number of babies below 2.5kg = 4

(vii) Babies which weigh 2.9, 2.9, 3.0 and 3.1kg are the ones to weigh more than 2.8kg.â€‹
∴ Number of babies above 2.8kg = 4

(viii) Number of babies weighing 2.8kg = 2

#### Question 4:

#### Question 9:

Following figures relate the weekly wages (in Rs.) of 15 workers in a factory:
300, 250, 200, 250, 200, 150, 350, 200, 250, 200, 150, 300, 150, 200, 250

Prepare a frequency table,

(i) What is the range in wages (in Rs)?
(ii) How many Workers are getting Rs 350?
(iii) How many workers are getting the minimum wages?

#### Answer:

Frequency distribution of the given weekly wages of 15 workers:

(i) Minimum wage = Rs. 150
Maximum wage = Rs. 350
∴ Range = Maximum wage − Minimum wage

= Rs. 350 − Rs. 150
= Rs. 200
(ii) Numbers of workers getting Rs. 350 = 1 worker

(iii) Here, minimum wage Rs. 150
Number of workers getting Rs. 150 = 3 workers
∴ Number of workers getting minimum wages = 3 workers

#### Question 10:

Construct a frequency distribution table for the following marks obtained by 25 students in a history test in class VI of a school:

9, 17, 12, 20, 9, 18, 25, 17, 19, 9, 12, 9, 12, 18, 17, 19, 20, 25, 9, 12, 17, 19, 19, 20, 9

(i) What is the range of marks?
(ii) What is the highest mark?
(iii) Which mark is occurring more frequently?

#### Answer:

Frequency distribution of the given marks:

(i) Highest marks = 25
Lowest marks = 9
∴ Range = Highest marks − Lowest marks

= 25 − 9 = 16

(ii) Highest marks = 25

(iii) From the frequency table we can say that 6 students scored 9 marks in the History test.
∴ The number 9 occurs more frequently.

#### Question 11:

In a mathematics test following marks were obtained by 40 students of class VI. Arrange these marks in a table using, tally marks.

 8 1 3 7 6 5 5 4 4 2 4 9 5 3 7 1 6 5 2 7 7 3 8 4 2 8 9 5 8 6 7 4 5 6 9 6 4 4 6 6

(i) Find how many students obtained marks equal to or more than 7?
(ii) How many students obtained marks below 4?

#### Answer:

Frequency distribution of the given marks in Mathematics:

(i) Number of students who have obtained marks equal to or more than 7
= frequency of 7 + frequency of 8 + frequency of 9
= 5 + 4 + 3 = 12

(ii) Numbers of students who have scored below 4
= Frequency of 1 + frequency of 2 + frequency of 3
= 2 + 3 + 3 = 8

(ii) In a descending order, the first number is always the highest.
∴ Highest weight = 3.1kg.

(iii) In a descending order, the last number is always the lowest.
∴ Lowest weight = 2.1kg.

(iv) Range = Highest weight − Lowest weight

= 3.1kg − 2.1kg = 1.0kg

(v) We can count the number of babies born on that particular day by counting the number of observations.
∴ Number of babies born on that day = 15

(vi) Babies which weigh 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4kg are the ones to weigh less than 2.5kg.
∴ Number of babies below 2.5kg = 4

(ii) How many Workers are getting Rs 350?
(iii) How many workers are getting the minimum wages?

#### Answer:

Frequency distribution of the given weekly wages of 15 workers:

(i) Minimum wage = Rs. 150
Maximum wage = Rs. 350
∴ Range = Maximum wage − Minimum wage

= Rs. 350 − Rs. 150
= Rs. 200
(ii) Numbers of workers getting Rs. 350 = 1 worker

(iii) Here, minimum wage Rs. 150
Number of workers getting Rs. 150 = 3 workers
∴ Number of workers getting minimum wages = 3 workers

#### Question 10:

(i) What is the range of marks?
(ii) What is the highest mark?
(iii) Which mark is occurring more frequently?

#### Answer:

Frequency distribution of the given marks:

(i) Highest marks = 25

∴ Range = Highest marks − Lowest marks

= 25 − 9 = 16

(ii) Highest marks = 25

(iii) From the frequency table we can say that 6 students scored 9 marks in the History test.
∴ The number 9 occurs more frequently.

#### Question 11:

In a mathematics test following marks were obtained by 40 students of class VI. Arrange these marks in a table using, tally marks.

(i) Find how many students obtained marks equal to or more than 7?
(ii) How many students obtained marks below 4?

#### Answer:

Frequency distribution of the given marks in Mathematics:

(i) Number of students who have obtained marks equal to or more than 7
= frequency of 7 + frequency of 8 + frequency of 9
= 5 + 4 + 3 = 12

(ii) Numbers of students who have scored below 4
= Frequency of 1 + frequency of 2 + frequency of 3
= 2 + 3 + 3 = 8
