    Q1:
    Page 78 (Q-12): Form a frequency distribution taking a suitable class-interval for the
    following data giving the age of 52 employees in a government agency.
    67 34 36 48 49 31 61 34 43 45 38
    32 27 61 29 47 36 50 46 30 46 32

    62 69 50 28 44 43 60 39

    Solution:

    69 - 27 = 42/10 = 4.2 = 5 classes

    Exhibit 1.0: Frequency Distribution Table

    Q2:
    Page 119 (Q-12): For the following table calculate mean, median and mode:

    No. of persons No. of persons

    800 - 1000 14 1800 - 2000 7
    1000 - 1200 20

    Solution:

    ∑ fd xc 0
    Req. 1: Mean ( x )=A + n = 1100 + ( 100 x 200) = 1100

    n 100
    Req. 2: Location of Median = 2 th item = 2 item = 50th item

    So, median lies in class (1000 – 1200)

    xc
    Median = L + f 0n

    50−40
    x200
    = 1000 + ( 20 )

    10 x200
    = 1000 + ( 20 )

    = 1000 + 100

    = 1100 (Ans.)

    Req. 3: Here highest frequency is 20, So, mode class is (1000 – 1200)

    Where, Δ 1 = difference between modal frequency and preceding modal frequency

    Δ 2 = difference between modal frequency and post modal frequency

    Δ =20−14=6

    Δ =20−15=5

    x 200
    = 1000 + 6 +5

    =1109.09

    Answers:

    (i) Mean (x) = 1100;


    (ii) Median (Me) = 1100;

    (iii) Mode (Mo) = 1109.09

    Q3:
    Page 123 (Q-23): From the following distribution of travel time to work of a firm’s
    employees, find the modal travel time:

    Travel time (in minutes) Frequency


    Less than 80 218
    Less than 70 215
    Less than 60 195
    Less than 50 156
    Less than 40 85
    Less than 30 50
    Less than 20 18
    Less than 10 2
    Solution:

    Calculation of Mode:

    Travel time (X) f c.f.


    0-10 2 2
    10-20 16 18
    20-30 32 50
    30-40 35 85
    40-50 71 156
    50-60 39 195
    60-70 20 215
    70-80 3 218

    Here highest frequency 71. So, mode class is (40 – 50)

    Where, Δ 1 = difference between modal frequency and preceding modal frequency

    Δ 2 = difference between modal frequency and post modal frequency

    Δ =71−35=36

    Δ =71−39=32
