The lengths of 62 leaves of a plant are measured in millimetres and the data is represented in the following table: length In mm 118 - 126 127 - 135 136 - 144 145 - 153 154 - 162 163 - 171 172 - 180 Number of leaves 8 10 12 17 7 5 3 Draw a histogram to represent the data above.

The given frequency distribution is in inclusive form. So, first we convert it into exclusive form. Now, adjusting factor = 127 - 126 2 = 1 2 = 0 . 5 So, we subtract 0 . 5 from each lower limit and add 0 . 5 to each upper limit. the table for continuous grouped frequency distribution is given below. Length in mm Number of leaves 117 . 5 - 126 . 5 8 126 . 5 - 135 . 5 10 135 . 5 - 144 . 5 12 144 . 5 - 153 . 5 17 153 . 5 - 162 . 5 7 162 . 5 - 171 . 5 5 171 . 5 - 180 . 5 3 A histogram for this table is shown in the figure given below:

The marks obtained (out of 100 ) by a class of 80 students are given below: Marks Number of students 10 - 20 6 20 - 30 17 30 - 50 15 50 - 70 16 70 - 100 26 Construct a histogram to represent the data above.

Here, the class intervals are of unequal width. So, we shall first input compute adjusted frequencies of each class. The minimum class size is 20 - 10 = 10 . The adjusted frequencies are computed by using the following formula: Adjusted frequency = Minimum class size Class size × Frequency of the class. The adjusted frequencies are computed in the following table: Marks Number of Students (Frequency) Adjusted Frequency 10-20 6 10 10 × 6 = 6 20-30 7 10 10 × 7 = 7 30-50 15 10 20 × 15 = 7 . 5 50-70 16 10 20 × 16 = 8 70-100 26 10 30 × 26 = 8 . 66 Now, we construct rectangles with class-limits as bases and respective adjusted frequencies as heights.

Following table shows a frequency distribution for the speed of cars passing through at a particular spot on a high way : Class interval (km/h) Frequency 30-40 3 40-50 6 50-60 25 60-70 65 70-80 50 80-90 28 90-100 14 Draw a histogram and frequency polygon representing the data above.

Let us first draw a histogram for this data and mark the mid-points of the tops of the rectangles In the figure given below, a histogram and a frequency polygon (in dotted lines) are drawn on the same scale. So, we will take x - a x i s as class interval and y - a x i s as frequency. We have to mark the middle of each class interval. So, In x - a x i s we have to take 35 , 45 , 55 , 65 , 75 , 85 , 95 . ∵ 30 + 40 2 = 35 , 40 + 50 2 = 45 , 50 + 60 2 = 55 , 60 + 70 2 = 65 , 70 + 80 2 = 75 , 80 + 90 2 = 85 , 90 + 100 2 = 95

Draw the frequency polygon representing the above data without drawing the histogram. Class Interval (km/h) Frequency 30-40 3 40-50 6 50-60 25 60-70 65 70-80 50 89-90 28 90-100 14

First, we obtain the class marks as given in the following table. Class interval (km/h) Class Marks Frequency 30 - 40 35 3 40 - 50 35 6 50 - 60 55 25 60 - 70 65 65 70 - 80 65 50 80 - 90 85 28 90 - 100 95 14 Now, we plot the points ( 35 , 3 ) , ( 45 , 6 ) , ( 55 , 25 ) , ( 65 , 65 ) , ( 75 , 50 ) , ( 85 , 28 ) and ( 95 , 14 ) . Now, we join the plotted points by line segments. The end points ( 35 , 3 ) and ( 95 , 14 ) are joined to the mid-points ( 25 , 0 ) and ( 105 , 0 ) respectively of imagined class-intervals to obtain the frequency polygon.

Following table gives the distribution of students of sections A and B of a class according to the marks obtained by them. Section A Section B Marks Frequency Marks Frequency 0 - 15 5 0 - 15 3 15 - 30 12 15 - 30 16 30 - 45 28 30 - 45 25 45 - 60 30 45 - 60 27 60 - 75 35 60 - 75 40 75 - 90 13 75 - 90 10 Represent the marks of the students of both the sections on the same by two frequency polygons. What do you observe?

First, we obtain in the class marks as given in the following tables: Section A Marks Class Marks Frequency 0 - 15 7 . 5 5 15 - 30 22 . 5 12 30 - 45 37 . 5 28 45 - 60 52 . 5 30 60 - 75 67 . 5 35 75 - 90 82 . 5 13 Section B Marks Class Marks Frequency 0 - 15 7 . 5 3 15 - 30 22 . 5 16 30 - 45 37 . 5 25 45 - 60 52 . 5 27 60 - 75 67 . 5 40 75 - 90 82 . 5 10 We represent class marks on X-axis on a suitable scale and the frequencies on Y -axis on a suitable scale. To obtain the frequency polygon for section A , we plot the points ( 7 . 5 , 5 ) ( 22 . 5 , 12 ) , ( 37 . 5 , 28 ) , ( 52 . 5 , 30 ) , ( 67 . 5 , 35 ) and ( 82 . 5 , 13 ) and join these by line segments. To obtain the frequency polygon for section B , we plot the points ( 7 . 5 , 3 ) ( 22 . 5 , 16 ) , ( 37 . 5 , 25 ) , ( 52 . 5 , 27 ) , ( 67 . 5 , 40 ) a n d ( 82 . 5 , 10 ) on the same scale and join these points by dotted line segments. The two frequency polygon are shown in the figure given below: We observe that section B has more students who scored high marks in the exam than section A . This tells us that section B has performed better in exam than section. A .

A total of 25 patients admitted to a hospital are tested for levels of blood sugar, ( mg / dl ) and the results obtained were as follows: 87 71 83 67 85 77 69 76 65 85 85 54 70 68 80 73 78 68 85 73 81 78 81 77 75 Find mean, median and mode ( mg / dl ) of the above data.

Mean : Sum of all observations = 1891 Number of observations, n = 25 Mean ( x ¯ ) = x 1 + x 2 … … + x n n = 1891 25 = 75 . 64 Median: Arranging the observations in ascending order, we get 54 , 65 , 67 , 68 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 73 , 73 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 77 , 78 , 78 , 80 , 81 , 81 , 83 , 85 , 85 , 85 , 85 , 87 Here, Number of observations ( n ) = 25 (odd) ∴ Median = n + 1 2 t h value = 25 + 1 2 t h value = 13 t h value = 77 Mode: We see from the given data that the observation 85 occurs maximum number of times ( 4 times). ∴ Mode = 85 . Therefore, Mean= 75 . 64 , Median= 77 , Mode= 85 .
