    pw a ° 21 ? Data Handling INTRODUCTION In various fields, we need information in the form of numerical figures. Each figure of this kind is called an observation. The collection of all the observations is called data. ‘Some important terms are defined below. Data Raw data Range Statistics Solution A collection of numerical facts regarding a particular type of information is called data. Each numerical fact of this type is known as an observation. A collection of observations gathered initially is called raw data. The difference between the highest and the lowest values of the observations in a data is called the range of the data. It is the science which deals with the collection, presentation, analysis and interpretation of numerical data. Given below are the marks (out of 100) in mathematics obtained by 20 students of a class in an annual examination. 23, 75, 56, 42, 70, 84, 92, 51, 40, 63, 87, 58, 35, 80, 14, 63, 49, 72, 66, 61. Arrange the above data in ascending order and find (i) the lowest marks obtained, (ii) the highest marks obtained, (iii) the range of the given data. Arranging the above data in ascending order, we get: 14, 23, 35, 40, 42, 49, 51, 56, 58, 61, 63, 63, 66, 70, 72, 75, 80, 84, 87, 92. From the above data, we make the following observations. (i) Lowest marks obtained = 14. (ii) Highest marks obtained = 92. (iii) Range of the given data = (92 - 14) = 78. 232 joel samuel || 9849140682 pw a ° BwPLE2 Given below are the heights (in cm) of 11 boys of a class: 146, 143. 148, 132, 128, 139, 140, 152, 154, 142, 149. Arrange the above data in ascending order and find (i) the height of the tallest boy. (W) the height of the shortest boy. (iii) the range of the given data. Solution Arranging the given data in ascending order, we get the heights (in cm) as 128, 132, 139, 140, 142, 143, 146, 148, 149, 152, 154. From the above data, we get the following results. (1) The height of the tallest boy = 154 cm. (ii) The height of the shortest boy = 128 cm. (iii) Range of the given data = (154 - 128) em = 26 cm. FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION Frequency of an observation The number of times a particular observation occurs in a given data is called its frequency. BWWPLE Suppose we make a survey of 20 families of a locality and find out the number of children in each family. Let the observations be 2, 2,3, 1, 1, 2, 3, 2,2, 1, 2, 2,3, 1,2, 1,1, 3, 2, 2. State the frequency of each observation. Solution Arranging the data in ascending order, we get the observations as 1,1, 1,1, 1, 1, 2, 2,2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2,3, 3,3, 3. We find that 1 occurs 6 times; 2 occurs 10 times; and 3 occurs 4 times. We say that the frequency of families having 1 child is 6, the frequency of families having 2 children is 10, and_ the frequency of families having 3 children is 4. We may represent the above data in a tabular form, showing the frequency of each observation. This tabular form of representation is called frequency distribution. For counting, we use tally marks ||| |, and the fifth tally mark is entered as [J by crossing diagonally the four tally marks already entered. Thus, the frequency distribution table of the above data may be presented as given below. FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION TABLE, joel samuel || 9849140682 pw a ° 5
