Question 1

The marks obtained by 30 students in a subject are given below:

15,20,21,22,35,40,45,16,31,22,26,29,18,41,49,43,48,23,28,32,36,38,24,29,30,46,42,44,25,50
Arrange the data into 8 classes with equal class interval and then find the mean of this grouped
data.
Solution:
Arrangement of Data in 8 Classes (Conversion of Ungroup Data into Grouped Data):
Size of Interval= Range of data ÷ Number of classes
=(Maximum of data-Minimum of data) ÷ 8
=(50-15) ÷ 8
=35 ÷ 8
=4.375
Therefore size 5 is taken
Number of students is discrete continuous data with range is greater than 15 therefore inclusive
method of classification will be adopted.
Classes Tally Bars Frequency=f
15-19 III 3
20-24 IIII I 6
25-29 IIII 5
30-34 III 3
35-39 III 3
40-44 IIII 5
45-49 IIII 4
50-54 I 1
∑f=30

Classes Frequency=f Class boundaries Mid Points=x fx

=(Lower limit +
upper limit) ÷2
15-19 3 14.5-19.5 17 51
20-24 6 19.5-24.5 22 132
25-29 5 24.5-29.5 27 135
30-34 3 29.5-34.5 32 96
35-39 3 34.5-39.5 37 111
40-44 5 40.5-44.5 42 210
45-49 4 44.5-49.5 47 188
50-54 1 49.5-54.5 52 52
∑f=30 ∑fx=975

Mean= ∑fx ÷ ∑f
= 975 ÷ 30
Mean=32.5
Question 2
Find the quartile deviation of the following data.

10, 25, 11, 19, 10, 29, 15, 14, 17

Solution:
Re-arrange data in ascending order
10,10,11,14,15,17,19,25,29

Calculation of Q1 can be done as follows:

Q1 = ¼ (9 + 1)

=¼ (10)

= 2.5th Term

=(2nd term + 3rd term)/2

=(10 + 11)/2

=21/2

Q1=10.5

Calculation of Q3 can be done as follows:

Q3=¾ (9 + 1)
=¾ (10)

= 7.5th Term

=(7th term + 8th term)/2

=(19 + 25)/2

=44/2

Q3=22

Quartile Deviation(Q.D) = Q3 – Q1 / 2

Using quartile deviation formula , we have (22-10.50) / 2

=11.5/2

Q.D.=5.75

If you found any mistake so please correct own yourself
