 1. A class teacher has the following absente record of 40 students of a
class for the hole semester. Find the mean number of days a student
was absent.

o
N of days 0-6 6-10 10-14 14-20 20-28 28-38 38-40
o
N of students 11 10 7 4 4 3 1

Answer:-

No of days NO of Cmi Fcm d = c m – A df

students where A = -

0–6 11 3 33 -9 -99
6 – 10 10 8 80 -4 -40
10 – 14 7 12 84 0 0
14 – 20 4 17 68 5 20
20 – 28 4 24 96 12 48
28 – 38 3 33 99 21 63

38 – 40 1 39 39 27 27
Total 40 499 19

i.
∑ fcm = 499 = 12.475
n 40

ii . A ±
∑ fd = 12 + 19 = 12 +0.475 = 12.475
n 40

Therefore the mean number of days is 12.48 days for which a student was
absent

Class with =10

c N
Median = l + ( -c.f)
f 2

Where l - LC B of the median class

C - Class interval of median class

F – frequency of median class

N
C.f - cumulative of frequency just less than

N 615
The median class is found by th value = = 307.5 found in interval 40-50 (the
2 2
median class)

Cw = 10 cf =234

F = 116 Lcb = 40

c N 10
Median = l + ( -c.f) = 40 + (307.5-234) = 46.34
f 2 116

3. The median of the following data is 525. Find the values of x and y, if the total
frequency is 100.

Answer;
Given Median =525
Frequency = 100 Required X & y

Class Interval Frequency Cumulative

200-300 X=? 7+x
300-400 12 19 +x
400-500 17 36 + x
500-600 20 56 + x
600-700 Y =? 56+x+y
700-800 9 65+x+y
800-900 7 72+x+y
900-1000 4 76+x+y
100

76+x+y =100

X+y = 100-76 =24

c N
Median = l + ( -c.f) = N/2 =100/2 =50 = 500-600 is the median
f 2

Median =525 l=500 w =100 f=20 c.f =36 +x n=100

Putting these values to the formula gives

100 100
525 = 500 + ( -36+x)
20 2

525 = 500+5 (50-36-x)

525 = 500+5(14-x)

525 =500+70-5x

5x=570-525

5x=45 X=9

3
To find y substitute to equation 2

X+y =24

9+x =24 Y =24 -9

Y=15

Therefore the value of x and y are 9 and 15 respectively

4. The following data gives the information on the observed lifetimes (in hours) of
225 electrical components: Determine the modal life times of the components

Lifetimes(in hrs) 0-20 20-40 40-60 60-80 80-100 100-120

Frequency 10 35 52 61 38 29

Answer;

Life times (in hrs) Frequency

0 -20 10
20-40 35
40-60 52
60-80 61
80-100 38
100-120 29

Here frequency of the class interval, 60-80, is maximum so it is the model class

d1
Mode = l+( )c
d 1+ d

L= lower limit of the model class

D1 = the difference between frequency of modal class and the class preceding

D2 = the difference between frequency of modal class and the class succeeding

C = magnitude of the class

L = 60

D1 = 61-52=9

D2=61-38=23

C=20

a. The inter-quartile range,

b. Fourth Decline and 70th percentile
c. Standard deviation (δ) and variance (δ2)
