The following data given the weight (in grams) of 30 oranges picked from a
basket:
106 107 76 109 187 95 125 92 70
139 128 100 88 84 99 113 204 141
136 123 90 115 110 97 90 107 75
80 118 82
Construct a grouped frequency distribution table taking class width equal
to 20 in such a way that the mid-value of first class in 70.
From the frequency table, find the number of oranges
(i) weighing more than 180 g.
(ii) less than 100 g.
Here , class width = 20
class mark = 70
Half of the class width =20 /2 =10
Upper limit of first class interval = 70 + 10 = 80
Lower limit of first class interval = 70 – 10 = 60
Thus, class interval becomes 60 – 80
So, frequency distribution table becomes :

(a) Number of oranges weights more than 180 g = 1 + 1 = 2

(b) Number of oranges weights less than 100 g = 3 + 10 = 13

A grouped frequency distribution table with classes of equal sizes using 63-
72 (72 included) as one of the class is constructed for the following data 30,
32, 45, 54, 74, 78, 108, 112, 66, 76, 88,
40, 14, 20, 15, 35, 44, 66, 75, 84, 95, 96,
102, 110, 88, 74, 112, 14, 34, 44.
The number of classes in the distribution will be
(a) 9
(b) 10
(c) 11
(d) 12
(b) We arrange the given data into groups like 13-22,23-32 103-112.
(since, our data is
from 14 to 112). The class width in this case is 9.
Now, the given data can be arranged in tabular form as follows.

Hence, the number of classes in distribution will be 10.

Represent the following data in the form of a frequency distribution

table :
16, 17, 21, 20, 16, 20, 16, 18, 17, 21, 17, 18, 19, 17, 15, 15, 19, 19, 18,
17, 17, 15, 15, 16, 17, 17, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 20, 16, 17, 19, 18, 19, 16,
21 and 17.
The frequency distribution for these data will be as shown below :
The weights (in grams) of 40 oranges picked at random from a basket are
as follows: 40, 50, 60, 65, 45, 55, 30, 90, 75, 85, 70, 85, 75, 80, 100, 110, 70,
55, 30, 35, 45, 70, 80, 85, 95, 70, 60, 70, 75, 40, 100, 65, 60, 40, 100, 75, 110,
30, 45, 84.
Construct a frequency table as well as a cumulative frequency table. We
know that minimum observation is 30 and maximum observation is 110
The range = 100-30= 70 So the classes of equal size which covers the given
data are 30-40, 40-50, 50-60, 60-70, 70-80, 80-90, 90-100, 100-110, 110-
120

given below: 90, 79, 76, 82, 65, 96, 100, 91, 82, 100, 49, 46, 64, 48, 72, 66,
88. Find the range of the above data.

Class of the class 90-120 = (Upper limit + Lower limit) / 2 So we get Class
of the class 90-120 = (90 + 120)/2 = 105
